What movies or TV series have you watched more than 5 times?
I am unapologetically a person who will watch the same movie every day. In previous posts I’ve talked a lot about the movies, “You’ve Got Mail”, “The Devil Wears Prada”, and “Julie & Julia”. “You’ve Got Mail” is the movie I watch nearly every Saturday. I’ve read that people with anxiety tend to do that. Watching something over and over is calming in a way because we know what to expect and can kind of zone out while watching. It really works. I’m less concerned about the ‘why’ behind it.
There are several other movies on my list that I’ve seen more than 5 times. Actually, a lot more. I could almost create a spreadsheet with categories like, watched more than 5 but less than 10, watched more than 10 but less than 20, and of course I’d have to have a ‘watched more than 20’ category. Some of my other less girly movies that fit in those categories are: “Signs” (we literally watch this every Sunday evening before going to bed. It’s our joint comfort movie). Also, “The Accountant”, “The Martian”, “The Gentlemen”… lots of movies with “The” in the title.
As far as tv shows, I’m going with “Friends” and “Will & Grace”. Those are both series that I have watched from beginning to end repeatedly. Though I will admit I only watched a couple episodes of the “Will & Grace” reboot. It just wasn’t the same. “The Big Bang Theory” is one I watch frequently. Also, working my way through “The Office” for the first time. I already watch the re-runs of the earlier seasons. “That 70s Show” was a favorite too.
I’m honestly more interested today to see what other people have on their lists. I know what I watch obsessively. I really want to see what other people watch. Or, even finding out if everybody watches things on repeat. I would imagine some people only watch things once or twice and don’t like watching something over and over. To be fair, there are some movies I have seen and will never watch again (“Million Dollar Baby” being one of them. Never cried so hard at a movie in my entire life)!
Y’all need to fess up now…what have you seen more than 5 times? Or really, so many times you’ve lost count?
