I guess I am with Frostschutz and others. I reread for many reasons--and yes, I do have "comfort books" for times when I just need to "turn off". I do not have a lot of money nor great libraries nearby. I watch movies repeatedly for personal and social reasons or simply convenience.
What fascinates me here are the different perspectives, thoughts and reasoning. We are all totally different and each person seems to have a completely different explanation. That just shows how utterly personal media consumption truly is (as we are talking here more than just reading), no matter what we are told by "specialists" and the media. There are just too many factors--both personal, social, cultural, financial, etc. that play a role in these decisions.
And there is no one right way. I have a hard time imagining never repeat-reading. Just as I am sure those who are so would have a hard time understanding me having read a couple of books literally 100 times. sigh.
