#61: What movie do you revisit to watch over and over again that never seems to get old?
Merry Christmas! It’s been a little over a year since we started and we’ve had some excellent fights. Now let’s settle into our post Christmas-present-opening-chaos state of peace and nerd out over some movies. Today’s question is brought to us by Mama Mia:
What movie do you revisit to watch over and over again that never seems to get old?
The Rules:
Post your answer as a comment. Make it clear that this is your official answer, one per member.
No profanity. No pornography.
Defend your answer in the comments and fight it out against other MFC members’ answers for the rest of the week.
Whoever gets the most likes on their official answer comment (and only that comment) by Saturday wins the fight. You may like (heart, whatever) as many answers as you want.
The winner gets the honor of posting the next question the following Monday.
In the case of a tie, the member who posted the question will decide the winner.
Notes:
Only movies will qualify (no TV shows, or documentaries); however, films that air on television or streaming (BBC films, a stand-alone mini-series) will qualify.
Your answer can be as off-the-wall or controversial as you’d like. It will be up to you to defend it and win people to your side.Â
Fight it out.
Would you like to join the fight?
Know someone who’d like to join as well? Let them know about us. The more fighters the better. Discounted rates are available for groups of four or more…perhaps sign up your family and friends as a gift.
I'm like Maggie in that I've been thinking on this one far too long and just need to think up one that I've watched a billion times but would still gladly fire up the DVD again. I'm going with one that I saw in the theater twice, bought a special edition letterboxed VHS of, and then a DVD after that wore out: The Last of the Mohicans.
There are a lot of great choices. There are only a couple of movies that I can tolerate watching over and over and over (and over ... and on a side note ... one of those is Elf 😂 😉 ) but, the one movie that stands the test of time for me, is The Shawshank Redemption. I feel like I know every line, every scene, every nuance... but it never gets old. (Truth be told, there's one character in there that I absolutely can't stand, but I still watch it and love it, because obviously that one annoyance is completely overshadowed by the joy this film brings me.) It's very, very cathartic, and it never fails to make me smile (a real one... like a big heart-smile) at the end. Amazing movie.
