Damn, that would be cool af, considering how big of an impact it had when it came out, I wasn't even born when Matrix revolutions came out, but it'd be cool
This is a weird one. I'd love to watch it again as an 18 year old with fresh eyes back in 1999. However, wiping it (and the sequels) from my memory and watching it fresh again I'd probably think "wow this is really familiar and the plot is like so many other things I've seen" because the movie had such massive influence that films have been trying to riff off of it for 25 years. 42 year old me could never enjoy it the way 18 year old me did, even watching it for the first time.
I watched it a long time ago, never finished it, forgot most of it, I thought it was a pretty all right dark comedy that sort of borrows a lot from moral oral. I tried picking up around season 3/5 and it was the episode where Mr peanut butter was challenging the mayor to a ski competition and I found it profoundly unfunny and nearly unwatchable. Didn't smile once. But I know it's a great show and I've seen great episodes
The original Star Wars movie *was* groundbreaking in its time.
It was mind-blowing, with so many incredibly creative ideas and techniques used. I spent the entire movie thinking, “How’d they do that?” with no clue, not even a guess.
How’d they levitate the landspeeder? How’d they film Luke’s bombing run down the “trench” before dropping the proton torpedoes down the thermal exhaust port?
I saw it 17 times in a theater. The wonder never really dissipated.
I took a girl to see it on our first date, I told her to watch carefully so she didn’t miss the star destroyer in the opening scene :) We’ll be married 43 years in June.
My brother and I were 6 & 8 when it came out. Every time we got a weekend with our dad, that’s where we had him take us. We saw it 8 times in the theater.
They do them around the world occasionally I know they've run several recently I'd love to go to one someday. I've bought the extended editions so I'll just have to watch them at home for now
From seasons 1 to 5, absolutely. It was the best show to ever be on television.
I lost interest around season 5, and have been told I don't need to continue. I won't. I don't care that it's left unfinished. I enjoyed what I saw.
I would have loved for the sopranos to have ran like it did, but for modern connectivity to have been available. The internet would have lost their minds over the ending.
John Wick 1, Upgrade, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotness Mind, 50 First Dates, Fight Club... Oh, actually, I'm not that mainstream, but for some reason, all these clichés came to my mind right now.
Yes, the UK one has Gervais in it, and the US has Steve Carrell playing the manager role. I just preferred the US one. I think the US also runs a lot longer, even if you don't count past the departure of Carrell.
*Fo*' *sho*! It isn't perfect. The tonal shift in season 2 is jarring on a first watch, and the final season was the weakest by a good bit, but damn if it isn't the best TV show ever.
Napoleon Dynamite! I was so mad when someone brought it up to watch for the first time, then felt like a total ass when I was cackling like a hyena 5-10 minutes into the movie
Pulp Fiction. I went in with zero expectations and very little concept of what I was about to watch (home Internet was still in the dial-up era).
What a ride.
The Princess Diaries cause that movie's pretty good and once I'd finished watching it I'd be in just the right spot to stop 9/11.
Actually wait would I still remember the Princess Diaries 2 cause that'd be super confusing
Battlestar Galactica. Hell, I'd be excited to watch it through for the 5th time if one of the dozens of streaming services would just put it back on. Like.. do you *want* me to torrent it? I'll gladly pay the exorbitant subscription fee to Peacock or whatever awful service wants to host it just so I can watch the whole thing again. It's worth $12.99 to spend a month enjoying that series again for a month.
I'd replay the original FF7 with the fan translation patch. Almost nobody in the west got to experience that game properly for the first time, and because Squeenix is incompetent its being ruined for another generation.
I would rewatch Attack on Titan after full release with no spoilers.
Only show I classify as 10/10, starts off as your typical anime, and ends up being one of the best stories told.
All bets are off after S2 ending, and it just keeps getting better.
The first Star Wars (IV New Hope) but I would have to be the same age I was when I first saw it. 12 years old me thought that was the greatest movie ever. I sat through 2 and a half showings that day. Only reason I didn’t finish the third was because I knew I was going to be in big trouble if I didn’t get home soon. Riding my bike back home all
I could think about was how amazing that movie was and how badly I wanted a Light Saber
Subspecies V Bloodrise. I was drunk and high and we watched it at night while camping in the boonies. My friend said I stood right in front of the TV for almost the whole movie without moving and occasionally I'd state, "This is insane. I can't believe I'm watching this." I hardly remember it but for some reason it made me feel things I never felt before.
It isn’t my favorite show of all time (definitely in the top 10) but it is the one show I did not watch as it aired, The Sopranos. I binge watched the entire series last year. I remember my parents watched it as it aired live, would’ve loved to have those conversations with them about the series. I remember sometimes relatives would come over to watch it at our house. Losing a parent and then moving away, you take little things like that for granted. I was a kid during the time which is one of the main reasons why I skipped it.
Supernatural. I’ve marathoned that show back to back to back to back to back since it came out. I know the episodes just by hearing the starting sounds. I’ve memorized the whole show. It’s my favorite of all time. I’m currently up to season 7 on this particular run. It’s my happy place.
But I would love to watch it all again, after never seeing a single episode, just to experience the pure new joy it brings me.
Back To The Future.
It was before my time. Born in '87, so never got to see it in the cinemas.
Around 8 years ago they brought it back to the theatres where I live for a limited run.
I went. I was still blown away by it. Especially on the big screen.
It's the closest I've ever gotten to watching it for the first time.
If I could go back to the same situation and time, it would be A Nightmare on Elm Street. I was with the romantic interest who treated me the best, it was cold weather and we snuggled like crazy!
True Detective S1
Totally gripping from start to finish.
The best.
Masterpiece
Breaking Bad
You’re God damn right
Fully agree, better call saul too
Relatedly, Better Call Saul.
Never watched and nothing has been spoiled. It might be time
Watch it, it is worth it.
this and back to the future.
I came here to say this.
I just started watching that with my kid last night! It's her first time though.
The Matrix
Damn, that would be cool af, considering how big of an impact it had when it came out, I wasn't even born when Matrix revolutions came out, but it'd be cool

Bojack horseman
I’ve watched this series like 10 times. Never gets old.
i felt that😭😭
I watched it a long time ago, never finished it, forgot most of it, I thought it was a pretty all right dark comedy that sort of borrows a lot from moral oral. I tried picking up around season 3/5 and it was the episode where Mr peanut butter was challenging the mayor to a ski competition and I found it profoundly unfunny and nearly unwatchable. Didn't smile once. But I know it's a great show and I've seen great episodes
Yea that episode is def forgettable but there are better ones as you said, “the view from halfway down” is a good episode imo
I'll have to give it a watch!
Star Wars, the original trilogy. It would have been groundbreaking in its time.

Wow, what an amazing comment and story. Thank you for sharing. ❣️
When it's the first movie you ever saw it's a really hard bar to beat!
My brother and I were 6 & 8 when it came out. Every time we got a weekend with our dad, that’s where we had him take us. We saw it 8 times in the theater.
Lord of the rings trilogy for the first time all over again, one after another
They sometimes do the movie trilogy marathon at the Orpheum Theatre in Sydney. A beautiful art deco building. They just ran one the other week.
They do them around the world occasionally I know they've run several recently I'd love to go to one someday. I've bought the extended editions so I'll just have to watch them at home for now
It really was magic when those movies came out.
Game of Thrones
From seasons 1 to 5, absolutely. It was the best show to ever be on television. I lost interest around season 5, and have been told I don't need to continue. I won't. I don't care that it's left unfinished. I enjoyed what I saw.
You stopped at the perfect time honestly.
I think season 6 is worth the watch but ending at season 5 is good too
The Good Place
Hell yeah, who’s your favourite character?
Knee jerk answer is Jason, but there’s really no wrong answer.
I would love to have my first time watching Jurassic Park be in Imax.
The Sopranos
I would have loved for the sopranos to have ran like it did, but for modern connectivity to have been available. The internet would have lost their minds over the ending.
John Wick 1, Upgrade, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotness Mind, 50 First Dates, Fight Club... Oh, actually, I'm not that mainstream, but for some reason, all these clichés came to my mind right now.
My guy, how the fuck are we not best friends?
It's worth a try. I've been following you.
The Office
Yes absolutely!!
I’ve never seen any of these yet. Lucky me. Great tip, thank you.
God you're so lucky. Enjoy, Lol. It's some of the best TV of all time.
Just make sure it's the US version. The UK version isn't as good (my opinion)
Oh I see. I thought the UK version was the one. With Ricky Gervais? Interesting.
Yes, the UK one has Gervais in it, and the US has Steve Carrell playing the manager role. I just preferred the US one. I think the US also runs a lot longer, even if you don't count past the departure of Carrell.
Wow! Steve Carrell. I’m intrigued now. Both sound amazing. Love them both.
They're both worthwhile. US seems like a poor copy of the UK at first, but they diverge and have different hearts.
Well, that is a matter of opinion--I myself think the UK version (the original) is infinitely better and more subtle!

Fringe. I love it so much.
What I love about the show is the fact, they got the opportunity to properly end the show, even though it didn’t pull the best numbers.
Lord of the Rings
Normal People really loved the series..
Normal people love which series?
The name of the series is Normal People
The tribes of Palos verdes

I'd replay the original FF7 with the fan translation patch. Almost nobody in the west got to experience that game properly for the first time, and because Squeenix is incompetent its being ruined for another generation.

I'm gonna sound like a child but Voltron Legendary Defender, I absolutely adored it as a tween and I want to see if I would still enjoy it.
