Movies We Watch Again and Again

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

At first I thought, “I don’t watch movies that many times.” And then I remembered the ones I watch over and over:

  • “Independence Day” (We’re big Will Smith fans). We watch this every fourth of July. We’ve got the DVD.
  • “Castaway” (We’re big Tom Hanks fans, especially where he celebrates making a “fi-yah!”) We’ve got this DVD, too!
  • “Jungle Cruise” (A grandson always asks to watch this one)
  • “Avengers: Infinity War” (Same grandson likes this, too.)
  • “Avengers: End Game” (Yep, same grandson!)

There are probably a whole bunch of Disney films we’ve watched over and over with grandkids, like “Frozen,” “Frozen 2,” and “Moana.”

I’ve watched a lot of movies after supper and before bedtime when the grandchildren have spent the night at out house. When you are under ten, you go to Marvel and Disney, which is okay by me.

If I were choosing movies, I would watch the “Lord of the Rings” trilogy more than a few times. And I am a big fan of “Eddie and the Cruisers” movies, which I have watched a few times. But maybe not five.

What about “The Sound of Music” or “The Ten Commandments”? The networks put those out there every year, and those are perennial favorites.

Some movies never get old.
