I’ve watched more than 5 times? Hate to admit it, but Star Trek ToS. I watched the hell out of that show when I was a kid. At least 5 times through. I still watch it lol. Pluto has it’s own Star Trek channel, and it’s a free app. When I’m surfing, and all of my TV options are things I have no interest in, or have seen already, I tend to drift to Pluto. Star Trek, MST 3K, Tosh.0, Gunsmoke/westerns, a live comedy channel, Dr. Who, if all I could get was Pluto for entertainment, life wouldn’t be all that bad.

Lord of the Rings. I read the trilogy as a kid, amazing story that stands the test of time. What surprised me with the movies was, the accuracy. So many movies lose the gist of the book that spawned them, and leave out important details, or add unnecessary fluff. Not the case with this one. I’m always amazed how well the movies followed the books with this series.

Another childhood show I had to have gone through at least 5 times, Gilligan’s Island. When I got home from school, Gilligan’s Island came on, immediately followed by Star Trek ToS. So I had a TV afternoon escape thing, right after school. Still had plenty of time to go outside and do kid stuff, and get my homework done after supper.

Another childhood show y’all, The Munsters. Yep, I still watch that one too, from time to time.

Alien. The first one. Had to have seen that 5 times. Also Predator. Both good movies. Oh, The Riddick series of movies. Good shit right there.

One of the best movies I have seen in a while, I caught just recently. The Gorge. Saw it a couple weeks back, I’m jonesing to watch that again, I don’t know yet if it will meet the 5 times category, but it might. If you have not seen it, and you like a good story with plenty of action and a wee bit of a love tale, I recommend it highly.

There’s more I’m sure that haven’t come to mind as I write this. Soon as I hit “publish,” I’ll remember. 😉
