    I remember back in college I had a film study class and one of the assignments was to dissect my favorite movie. The Fall is no longer my favorite movie :/

    You can enjoy a movie and then when you actually think about it, it can turn into complete trash. Also vice versa

      I can’t really comprehend this personally. If I like a movie enough for it to be my favourite then chances are I’ve already spent a lot of time thinking about it, otherwise it wouldn’t be my favourite.

        Most of the time it’s contextual. It’s not the film itself most people remember, but what they felt while watching it, so if it felt special to them in that moment, they will remember it as a great movie, but if they then try to recall it in the future, it won’t feel the same since it lacks all the “magic”.

          Well rip to them but I’m different I guess lol, if a movie is my favourite it’s because I’ve watched it multiple times by the time I decide it’s my favourite.
