You can remove any film from your memory. What do you pick and why? (lemmy.world)

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?

~~There are so many candidates. It is genuinely impossible to pick just one. But anything I watched on the recommendation of someone who refers to a snack as "a bit naughty" is on the list for being dull. I would keep "the human centipede" and remove "love actually". I would remove the English patient, but I've only ever been able to watch the first 10 minutes before falling asleep so it isn't taking up much room.~~

Edit: nope, the Truman show. My English teacher made us watch it 20 times looking for religious symbolism as a film analysis project. I'd gladly forget it.

Worst I've seen and needed to stop watching: ALL ABOUT STEVE

I like that movie. It kind of snuck up on me.

Fight Club. Really good, but just hasn't ever had the same impact on repeat watches.

With a lot of other "plot twist" movies, you can at least enjoy repeat viewings because you see and enjoy all the signs, and maybe even pick up new ones. But Fight Club, despite being excellent, doesn't really execute the repeat view appeal very well at all imo.

I think a good plot twist movie is worth watching twice, once to experince it blind and another to see the change in motivation for characters knowing the plot twist
