I was scrolling Reddit and came across a post asking which movies I've seen more than 5 times... so I decided to think back a little. I actually thought to share this across all socials after my Apple Music Replay and subsequent self-examination of which songs mean the most to me or speak to me most profoundly.

I notice themes across both. I'm clearly a Boy Scout and I've clearly been stuck in systems that forced suppression of thought, feeling and emotional and creative expression.

I have deep needs for love, acceptance and meaning and purpose. I have deep values and needs for community and healing.

Here's my movie list, missing a few, of course... Love Actually should be on this. So should a few stand up specials by comics like Dimitri Martin, Eddie Izzard, John Mulaney and Ricky Gervais. I just watched Hank Green's Pissing Out Cancer and that'll quickly become a dozen views.

...also a few things that were on repeat for HBO, Cinemax or Showtime over the years.

I’ve never been the type to rewatch most movies. I’ve rewatched the making of and the bloopers more often than the movies themselves. I’m a huge fan of soundtracks, though.

I’ve also binged Warehouse 13, Sense8, Doctor Who’s 2005-2016 seasons and BSG probably at least 5 times. Some comfort shows, really.
