All the AI you need for this is an input box:
Wait [ ] months before recommending again a show
I already watched.

as I said

>Wait [ ] months before recommending again a show I already watched.
does not handle that scenario, furthermore I am perhaps more pessimistic about user self knowledge than you are. I would probably make that box some high number but I am a sucker for rewatching some movies very often.

Netflix already gives you a way to add things to a personal list of things you want to watch soon and already has a category for things that you've already seen and enjoyed in case you want to watch them again. There's no need to pollute the general recommendations to scratch this itch.

Why would you need to be recommended a movie you already watched? You know about it and if you want to watch it again just search for it. Recommendations should be for discovery of new content.
yeah some movies might be more likely to be rewatchable quicker by a larger amount of the population, and some people might be more likely to be able to rewatch movies they like more quickly than a month - and those people might have preferences that indicate their liking to rewatch more often.
Thus it might be nice to do AI on this.
