The concept of rewatching a movie is almost foreign to me now given that I have access to a library of tens of thousands of movies. It would have to be very good and something that whoever I’m with hasn’t seen.
Of course I used to watch the same movie about every month or so back when I was growing up in the 90s.
I have a daughter I enjoy showing movies I’ve already watched to. So I’ve been doing mostly rewatching, but with someone who has never seen, for example, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off before.
The best was her reaction to Repo Man. We got to the end and she said, “all of that for a flying car?”
This is so sweet. Getting to show cool stuff you like to your kids must be one of the best things about being a parent. If I ever end up becoming one I’ll show my kids all the great Pixar movies and also the Emperor’s New Groove cause that one is a classic.
That’s curious because I find I rewatch more movies than ever before, since it’s so easy to find them, and I already know whether I like them or not.
The first thing I do when Return of the King ends is put on Fellowship of the Ring.
