Lots of discussion has gone on while I've been working, but I'll respond to some key points from this and another comment. I think we may disagree less than some observers would have imagined.

Why would you let them do that?

As has been noted by others, kids are into repetition. I watched things like Star Wars, Clash of the Titans and Strange Brew ad nauseum. If they enjoy it and it's not offensive to me, they're welcome to watch it again.

Letting your kid watch the same goddamn movie in a loop is about as stimulating as letting them stare at a wall.

I agree. But watching the same movie once every Saturday becomes ad nauseum soon enough. And let's not forget that even if Dreamworks has given us some drivel, they also made Seabiscuit, a Best Picture nominee that my kids loved.

No disrespect intended, but seriously... Want remarkable children? Learn to tell your kids no.

None taken. As I said above, we mostly agree. Ask my kids if I know how to say no; these kids who also ask to watch Khan Academy and How It's Made, among other things.
