Lesser-acknowledged varieties of film appreciation

prokopetz:

• I’d be willing to see it again for the sake of showing it to someone who hasn’t, but wouldn’t undertake repeat viewings of my own initiative
• Viewing it was an incredible and life-changing experience and I absolutely never want to see it again
• I very much enjoy the version of the film I made up in my head, and sometimes forget that the film that was actually made is nothing like it
• My first exposure to the film’s cast of characters was via weird Internet porn, and I can’t watch it without that in the back of my mind
• I’ve seen it easily a dozen times, but inexplicably cannot recall a single detail about its plot, characters or setting when prompted
• I’m really into one specific scene, and just sort of tolerate the other 90% of its running time for the sake of providing needed context
• The very notion of the film so repulsed me that I hate-read the reviews so I could talk informed trash about it without having to actually watch it
• I just read the Wikipedia article so I could understand the memes
