Many more but you asked for 3.

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas - Terry Gilliam
2001: A Space Odyssey - Kubrick
Gladiator - Ridley Scott

None. I have watched many movies more than three times, but watching them repeatedly without getting bored? Nah…

Perhaps coming with age: I usually fall asleep these days when I put a movie on. Then again, there are (were) times for movies that really appeal(ed).

Shoud I say, I’ve seen them all, as the cineast I am? Often enough it feels llike it. But then and again, I still discover some gems, like from the Nordic Noir genre or documentaries. It rarely happens.

After a long talk, I give you three ones, everybody probably knows:

The Godfather
The Usual Suspects
Once Upon A Time In The West

:wink:

  • Psycho
  • Vertigo
  • Notorious

In terms of rewatchability, The Godfather, Jojo Rabbit, The Truman Show

  • Facing The Giants
  • Flywheel
  • The Bad Guys

Fun Fact: In college, I watched the animated Disney Beauty and The Beast approximately 20 times to where I could quote most of the movie.

Today’s Question of the Day:

What is the sickest you have ever been? :nauseated_face: :face_vomiting:

Once when I had the flu. Another when I had conjuctivitis I don’t know where picked up, and had to go to the doctor to get medicine for it. Both before I became adult BTW, while AIDS was a “favorite media topic”.

A couple months ago I bought a “vegetarian lasagna” in the supermarket.

It looked moldy, but I’m no expert on vegetarian stuff. It tasted horribly moldy, but again I’m no expert.

It was a struggle to eat, but I swore no sissy vegetarian meal was gonna best me.

Consumed it all and 15 minutes later i only made it to the kitchen sink before vomiting horizontally, and violently.

PS: I’m all for animal welfare and the ethics.

My most serious illness was scarlet fever, which I contracted when I was about 8 years old. The major symptoms were rash, a very painful sore throat and delirium (from the high fever). The delirium (which would wake me from my sleep during the illness) made me afraid to fall asleep, even after I had recovered from the illness, so I had to be prescribed sleeping pills. When I returned to school, my classmates kept their distance from me because the school had informed parents that a student had scarlet fever. Having been absent from school for a couple of weeks, I was obviously that student. I remember the girl in the desk next to mine sitting on the edge of her seat.

When my appendix self destructed in 2008.

As a child, it was a bout of something (my mom thinks it was Rheumatic fever) when I was about about 6 years old. I don’t remember much about it, but my mom said that the doctors were scared that I would die from it.

As an adult, a bout of pancreatitis I had about 10 years ago. I was in the hospital five days doped up on Zofran (an anti-nausea medicine) and Demerol (the good stuff). That was just about the worst pain I had ever experienced.

That one time when I almost revealed my medical history on a public forum.

I think the flu I and my ex-wife got at the same time…when our son was about two weeks old. That was not fun.

Now that answer have made multiple alphabet agencies sickest they have ever been! :rofl:

By God’s grace, I haven’t been sick enough to be incapacitated and I’m truly thankful to Him.

Today’s Question of the Day:

What is a product or service you love so much that you’d happily be that company’s spokesperson?

I’m too camera shy to be a spokesperson, but there have been businesses I would recommend with little to no prompting.

EndeavoursOS yet they snubbed me when I offered my advertising writing skills to them as a volunteer…oh well…
