Movies (and occasionally face slaps) (Part 1)

Rocky Horror - 3 or 4 times over 20 years, each experience inferior to the previous one
Lawrence of Arabia - I think 4 times in ~12 years
Fight Club - twice in one week, because I saw it alone and then had to drag a friend with me to see it again

I think that’s it for me.

Human Traffic

I did a six week project in London in college in the summer of 1999. It was playing down the road from where we were staying. One of the group went the first week we were there and said it was great. Over time, nearly all 15 of us had seen it. The last week there, about 10 or 11 of us all went to see it again as one group.

I remember loving it. Haven’t seen it since though.

I’d also have to go with Rocky Horror Picture Show. Probably saw that about 10 times during high school and college.

But that’s kind of in a special class… For a “real” movie I’d go with Pulp Fiction. Saw it I think three times during its initial theater run, paying full price each time.

I saw Crouching Tiger like three times when it was out in theaters. Never had any interest in seeing any other movie more than once in a theater.

I don’t think I’ve ever watched any movie more than once in a theatre.

I finished Captain America: Winter Soldier last night. I think my favorites so far are:

  1. Iron Man
  2. Winter Soldier
  3. Thor

I’ve had them on as background noise mostly, but I am enjoying the journey so far.

I’ve definitely seen the same movie multiple times in theater but it was only 2 or 3 showings and I really can’t say what movies they were. My memory is not great but I know they were all during my childhood. I think the Dawn of the Dead remake was one of them, one of the Blade movies sticks in my head too as a possible one too

Dawn of the dead remake is one of my all time favorite “eh… this movie isnt really good” movies

Free Solo. I could watch it again and again and again. Highly recommend if you haven’t watched it yet. Keep a towel nearby for your sweaty hands.

I thought it was meh, but a lot of people think Winter Soldier is one of the GOAT Marvel movies. Maybe I should give it another go.

It had a little bit of everything for me. Some not so subtle jabs at Patriot Act levels of survilance to great fight scenes with incredible sound mixing. I could do without the Falcon guy but whatever.

nailed it pretty much on The Little Things, i was HYPED for this movie. The first 90 you’re like yea yea standard serial killer but acting is good and liking where this is going…and then yea wtf, why would you do that, wtf just happened, welp that was the end???

IMAX?

When I watched this the first time, I knew nothing about it. And since stuff like Grizzly Man exists, I was not at all certain he was going to survive the climb. That is the tightest my butthole has ever been clenched during a movie.

I remember I saw Clerks in the theater twice (once at my university’s theater, once when I returned home because I had to show my best friend). I also saw Spiderman: Homecoming twice for obvious reasons.

Yup. Surreal viewing experience. It was 2 hours of anxiousness.

The Captain America movies are the best in a series for the MCU so far imo. All three are so good. And Civil War introduced Spider-Man!

Winter Soldier opening running scene is hilarious. And that’s the source of the “On your left” joke that Sam says when he teleports in to help in the Endgame finale. Making me want to re-watch it :+1:

The only instance I can think of is when I went to a movie, and then a week later a few friends wanted to go to the same movie. So I just went again.
