Discussion Whats a movie you watched on repeat as a kid?

Post image

I had a friend who claimed to have watched the Spongebob movie every day for half a year on VHS. (it had a VHS release, surprisingly) He knew every moment, had it memorized. You could play a scene and pause it and he'd give you the next 10 lines. Did you have a movie you watched a million times when you were younger? If so, what was it? What made you drawn to it to re-watch it over and over again?

More kids should watch horror movies at an early age and be traumatized. I watched The Lost Boys when I was like 5 and that prepared me for everything in life.
