Some people want to be able to watch a movie “for the first time” all over again. Others want to forget a rubbish one. If you could remove just one movie from your memory, which would it be?
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Memento. But first I’d tattoo “Don’t trust ‘Memento’” on my stomach.
The Matrix. Blew my fucking mind the first time I saw it. It’s awesome on repeat viewings, but that first watch is magical.
I’ve still never seen it. I’m 31
I am not entirely sure how this turn of events has occured
Perhaps you did saw it but managed to gmforget it to watch it again.
Realistically the matrix is a bad idea to forget, if you watched it when it came out it was awesome, if you watch it for the first time now it’s sort of obsoleted and slow. I still like it, but I think it’s because I first saw it when it came out.
The Mark Wahlberg’s planet of the apes.
It featured Helen Bonham Carter in full monkey makeup.
It awoke something inside of me that I wish had remained sleeping.
I’m surprised no one has mentioned Fight Club as a thing to rewatch with no memory that would be amazing.
For a film I’d want to erase cause it was awful I’d go with the last Jedi I genuinely hated that film. Or Star Trek into darkness hated that also.
Honestly, rewatching Fight Club when you already know the twist and can see all the small details that lead to it is, imo, even more fun that to forget it and watch again.
People hated TFA for all of the wrong reasons (and several REALLY wrong reasons), but it was actually a decent and competent action/adventure movie. Albeit not a great Star Wars movie, but pretty decent. TLJ was hot garbage. I didn’t even watch TRoS. Still haven’t.
I remember going to see TLJ at Leicester Square on opening night me and my brother and sister all paid silly money relative to other cinemas and I just came out of it going I don’t know if I even like this while my brother was raving about how it was the best thing he’s seen in years lol
I think he got caught up in the moment.
Honestly it’s also like when I saw Star Trek 09 with a friend at the BFI imax and I came out of it with him having had the time of his life and the only positive thing I could say was “ I liked the music “
