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.

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.

Tucker and Dale vs Evil

I haven't laughed at a movie like that in years. I would like to again

ATLA live action. It's already almost gone from my memory but not quite all the way gone.

The first one that comes time mind is the one I’ve watched the most times and pretty much know by heart: The Princess Bride.

That said, I wonder how much of my love for the movie is nostalgia. Maybe it would ruin it for me. But it would be interesting to find out.

Ironically…Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.

I don’t remember anything about it. I saw it after chugging a bottle of Robitussin DM and rented it thinking “Oh, Jim Carey, this’ll be hysterical”.

It wasn’t.

Fucking Serbian Film. And eff your post for reminding my stupid brain that that film exists. /s

There are too many to choose!

And the award goes to:

Lord of the Rings. If I can only choose one, then Return of the King.

Honourable mentions:

Avengers Endgame (watched it at a midnight screening at a Infinity-War/Endgame double bill and it was one of the best experiences ever)

Tron legacy: unlike many movies, it completely drew me into its world, with the visuals and music.

Nolan batman films: probably Dark Knight

looks at comments Really? No Requiem for a Dream? Eff that movie.

Fucking Elf. I hate that fucking movie and yet due to the people I was hanging out with at the time somehow ended up seeing it 5 times. Didn't like it the first time, spent the whole time annoyed the second, don't know why or how I tolerated it 3 more times, but I'm never watching that shitty fucking movie ever again and wish I could bleach it the fuck out of my skull.

I was reading the comments and realized that most people would want to forget a good movie so you can enjoy it again for the first time. But the first thing my negative ass thought of is "well I really wish I could remove the movie Tusk from my mind".

Your Name, a beautiful anime movie. I was legit floored the whole way through. I'd watch that with new eyes in a heartbeat.

Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind

Matrix 4

for a long time, I was like if I had a wish, it would be to see the Matrix movies like the very first time.

after seeing the 4th, my wish is to clear Matrix 4 out of my mind.

Meet the Feebles

My parents thought it was the muppets. I watched it when I was 6.

I still get Vietnam flashbacks.

The Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

Cannibal Holocaust. I'm reminded of it every time I see a tortoise. If you're an animal person, do not watch it.

A Serbian film... That ending I just cant... It is the only movie I actively tell people to avoid. My wife and I like to watch the most mind-fuck movies imaginable, but that one took it a step too far. We literally just stared at the screen for like 5 min after it was over.

Interstellar. I'd love to watch it for the first time all over again. I was so completely enthralled by it but also so heavily affected by it. It's one of those that stuck with me for weeks. Incredible movie.

Interstellar - Movie and Music

That’s my all time favorite.

I developed a moderately effective technique to suppress memories to the point where they're functionally removed. Perhaps not coincidentally, I don't know of any movies I want to forget.

Probably the ring +/- the adjacent films. Absolutely fucked me up for most of my childhood where I had issues falling asleep, looking under covers, etc. Not as bad now but certain things will trigger me still and it takes a few days to get back to normal.

The Truman Show fucked me up bad as a kid

The Irishman. The fact that I lost 3 hours to that pointless slog is so painful I'd rather just forget all about it. I'll never get those 3 hours back, but at least the regret will be gone.

Wait, that means I could remove my wedding film and forget everything about my ex?

So tough. Three choices:

Enter the Void

Not4Sale - TV Sheriff and the Trailbuddies

Freddie Got Fingered

All three are the most incredible masterpieces I’ve watched for the first time while on LSD.

I think I’d go with Enter the Void.

I have watched Star Trek: Insurrection three times.

I know this only because three separate friend groups have all confirmed that I watched the movie with them.

I have no recollection of the film whatsoever.

So apparently, that one.

Star Wars Christmas Special

"Whats Eating Gilbert Grape" only reminds me of my ex, so that one

Probably something like An American Tail so I could enjoy it for the first time again after randomly stumbling upon it on my external hard drive.

The English Patient. And I want my 14 hours back. (i know it wasn't 14 hours but it felt that way)
