What movies or TV series have you watched more than 5 times?

View all responses

I have way too many comfort movies. There is no way for me to list the many, many movies I have watched to the point of memorization. I swear, there is a button in my brain. When that button is activated, whatever is in my line of vision at the time will become my entire personality for an extended period. The last time that happened was circa 2023, when I watched the pro-shot of Heathers: The Musical. My ass still obsesses over it and listens to the music multiple times a week, at the expense of rarely listening to anything else. So when I say there are movies I know word for word, beat for beat? Someone could cast me in a shot-by-shot remake, and I wouldn’t have to memorize anything.

So, I’ll just give the top 10 (comfort) movies I have watched more than 5 times (and I should be cast in), in no particular order:

1. The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975)
2. Night of the Demons (1988)
3. Halloween (1978)
4. Labyrinth (1986)
5. Valley Girl (1983)
6. The First Wives Club (1996)
7. Moulin Rouge (2001)
8. As Good as it Gets (1997)
9. A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984)
10. Twister (1996)

Do I realize that some of my comfort movies are questionable?

Yes.

Mind your business.
