Writer's Block: The tenth time's the charm

Heh. Voluntarily or involuntarily?

My father had a thing for watching the same films over and over and making us kids watch with him. Lost count of how many times I saw:
Gone With The Wind
The Sound of Music
The Wizard of Oz
It's A Wonderful Life
A Shot In The Dark
The Pink Panther
The Pink Panther Returns
The Pink Panther Strikes Again
Blazing Saddles
Airplane!
A Christmas Story

I can still stomach the back half of this list, but not the front half.

Voluntarily?
An American Werewolf In London
The Breakfast Club
Star Wars
The Fellowship of the Ring
The Two Towers
Serenity

Return of the King and Batman Begins are getting close, 7-8 times.

I'm more of a television person now, though, and more inclined to watch 10 things once than 1 thing 10 times regardless of TV or movie.

OMG PINK PANTHER.

Dad and I loved those movies back in the day. "Don't just stand there, get a doctor! And then help me find my nose!"

"I thought you said your dog does not bite!"
"That is not my dog."

I still use so many lines from those movies, including the Dreyfuss eye-twitch. I still occasionally call out, "Catooooooo...?" in a hideously accented voice when I come home, just in case the bastard's waiting for me in my fridge. :D

A dilemma should I admit to knowing all those films or pretend I've not heard of them :)

Liked all of the items on your voluntary list except Serenity, never liked that or Firefly.

You're in trouble then :) I'm a card carrying Browncoat. Not as bad as some I've met, but definitely a big fan.

That's OK many people like things I don't. I've liked a lot of Joss Whedon's work just not this.
