I once had the flu so badly I couldn’t get out of bed or yell for help. My parents put on “Flushed Away” (movie about some fuckin rats) on dvd and it looped at least 4 times before anyone came back to turn it off. One of my core traumas

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 two. I grew up near Toronto in the 80s. Both were CityTV movies. They used to do a thing. I can’t remember what it was called…

1 - SPACEBALLS!!! (“F___! Even in the future nothing works!”)

2 - Predator (there’s a line where Arnold says, “That’s one bad motherfucker.” They only censored the word ‘mother’. i was 8. best thing ever)

This was the movie Troll for me with Sonny Bobo.

You can recreate this by spending time working in a remote location, like a fishing vessel, that doesn’t have any internet. All you can watch on your off time is what media you take out with you.

I watched “A River Runs Through It” probably 30 times one summer while commercial fishing, because it was one of the few movies we had that we all liked.
