I watched Five Feet Apart again last night. That has to be the fifth time in two weeks, I think. It’s heartbreaking, but deeply moving.
Imagine being deeply in love and unable to (ever) touch your beloved....
We lost a lifelong friend to cystic fibrosis not too long ago, but he ‘made it’ to age 54, God Bless him. I remember when the doctors told us that he’d never see his fifth birthday. His life certainly wasn’t a walk in the park, but it was full of love!
Funny, lot of people on this thread who watch the same film many times. I too am one such.
I have a library that I sort through weekly or so, trading off this or that. If you horse-trade not much money changes hands, it's not an expensive hobby for films that I like. Over the years I've traded up on tech, from DVD to Blu Ray to...
Those I like, I've seen dozens or more times. Many of mine echo others' favs:
Star Wars, Empire, Attack of the Clones, Revenge of the Sith, Aliens, the Hitcher, LoTR (extended, original editions), starting to re-watch the Hobbit films (mediocre, with their moments), Fight Club (probably my favorite), Interstellar (and Nolan brothers' entire catalog including the Batman trilogy, Inception, and every other), Suicide Squad (uncut: vastly better with more Margot Robbie...who can actually act... and Jared Leto's Joker (ditto)), various Rush, Dream Theater, and Pink Floyd concert films, and maybe forty other films.
In fact if it makes it into my catalog, it's indeed rare and interesting. 'Lucy' from a few years ago was latest entrant, I think, with Interstellar also in 2014. Not much made since has grabbed me that hard, Suicide Squad is okay from 2016 come to think of it and as-mentioned earlier.
I don't obsess, but it's nice to re-watch a favorite sometimes. I've seen Gettysburg...original, uncut, probably yearly since it came out in one form or another, that being such a pivotal moment in American history and handled "well enough" by that treatment. One day they'll redo it with digital effects and it will be that much more vivid, as history really is (in grisly detail). Might pickup the John Wick trilogy when the third comes out, though a fourth will come too I'm convinced after seeing Parts II and III in the theater.
I suppose it's a quirk of a certain personality type, yes. I think I'm more of a film 'nut' than 'buff,' though.
I watched Moonstruck so much I could play any of the characters in a remake. Ditto for the Princess Bride.
Other movies I've watched many times:
Quigley Down Under
Jaws
Ben-Hur
The Godfather 1 & 2
Jumpin' Jack Flash
Daylight
My Cousin Vinny
Forrest Gump
Laura
Random Harvest
Rebecca
Pretty Woman
