Does/has anyone had a special interest in a certain movie?

Post Reply New Topic

One of my special interests is Movies and TV shows - I focus on one or two at a time.

I'd say "The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie", since that's a part of my obsession.

"The Simpsons Movie" is also good though.

I spent a good amount of time trying to track down some of the songs from this movie, only to find that a soundtrack was never released and some of the songs don't exist outside of the movie itself. Damn.

Also, I've read that a bunch of the original film was destroyed in a fire long before the advent of DVD, so even the "remastered" DVD has some tape hiss, as that was all they had to work with. I'd be curious to hear the sound quality of the original LaserDisc release, but I doubt I'll ever come across a copy. It's quite rare.

Castaway with Tom Hanks.


The Shawshank Redemption.


Equilibrium with Christian Bale.

Cool choices. I knew Beth would respond ASAP LOL! and of course Star Wars and Harry Potter interesting. I'm trying to get my favorite latest film with a digital copy version so I can watch it on my Ipod YA! I hope Half-Blood Prince has Digital Copy (surely UP! will since Wall-E did!) Also for the rest of the year I want to see Where the Wild Things Are?,Christmas Carol,New Moon,and Princess and the Frog.

There are several movies I am really interested in, but there is one that really is a special interest for me. That movie is the Stephen Spielberg classic from the early 1970's---Duel with Dennis Weaver.

Special Movies topic

I thought a thread like this was supposed to be in another forum, but because it is a special interest thingy, here goes:

I have always been obsessed with prison themed movies/television shows, or any shows that feature being wrongly imprisoned, since I was about 10 years of age. there was not a whole lot of choice back then, so when the movies/shows came on TV, I watched them, as reruns, over and over, memorizing them.

Overcoming adversity is great.

Woooooooooo people the same as me! I have obsessions with movies, but it changes. Often follows Pixar movies, and at the moment I seem to refer almost anything back to Ghostbusters and am annoying everyone, I tend to talk non stop about my favourites and know practically EVERYTHING about them. Obsessions come and go for me and just becuase I appear to have got over a film doesn't mean my passion won't resurface!
My firsts were probably Toy Story and Mulan in the late 90s when I was between 4 and 7, and the first major one where I HAD to have EVERYTHING was probably Harry Potter 2 in 2002. After that film obsessions became far more powerful than when I was little.
I wrote about Mamma Mia! for a piece of coursework recently, spent all day researching it - most enjoyable piece of work I have ever done. Trivia, box office total, DVD sales, I LOVED it. And went about 2500 words over the limit due to waffle

Wings of Desire, The Matrix Reoaded, Annie Hall, Secret of Roan Inish, Harry Potter movies, Pirates of the Caribbean movies.

oh wow cool thread....It never ever crossed my mind that OTHERS could be obsessed with a specific movie in an aspie way...

Well in 1996 I went totally obsessed with the movie "MoneyTrain" with Snipes, Harrelson and J. Lo
I just HAD to see it again but I brought a diffrent company, then I had to see it again and again and I went running now and then to the cinema to just watch it and so did regularly
That resulted in me beeing recognised at the cinema at the end
That resulted in me getting some materials about this film and I got massive big posters of this film that I put on the walls
That resulted in me beeing interested in the cinema business and that resulted in me keep visiting the cinema not only for this movie but also to see how the staff worked
That resulted in me learning how to show a film on cinema

Before the end of the year I ended up working at the cinemas myself......

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
Girl Interrupted
The 9th Gate
The Last Unicorn

Oh, yeah! A Beautiful Mind all the way! I joined this site when I was at the height of my ABM obsession, so that is why I first created my user name on here. I have since refined said user name to "OddDuckNash4348," to further incorporate the "odd duck" quote into the name. (When I made the "99," I hadn't yet thought to put the "4348," and I just picked "99," since I like the number 9.) My user name (and avatar) comes from this scene, my favorite scene of the movie:

Alicia: (looks up at the stars) I once tried to count them all. I actually made it to 4,348...
Nash: You are exceptionally odd.
Alicia: I'll bet you're very popular with the girls.
Nash: A pair of odd ducks, then...
