For one rereading a novel is a larger investment in time than watching a movie or listening to an album. A novel has to be beyond outstanding to me and just grabbed me in a certain way to warrant a reread.
But if you use different time accounts then re-watching a movie has the cost of one new movie you will not see. Re-reading a book has the codt of one new book you will not read.

Or if you do not want to look at it that way. Re-wathing 2-3 movies is the time you could have read a new book.
