BradWesley123's Movie Journal- March & April 2009

This is the furthest that my records go back. For some reason, I felt that I should write down all of the movies that I watch, and when I watch them. In all honesty, it's been a fruitful endeavor. It works as both a nostalgia trip, and a memory enhancer. All I can remember from watching this movie then was that it was a Saturday.

If I remember correctly, this was my first viewing. One day I was at Movie Gallery, a now defunct video store, and they had some used movies on sale for like $3, and I saw this just lying in a pile, and I had heard a lot about it, so I though "what the hell?" Unfortunately, I fell asleep right in the middle of the damn movie, and wake up right at the end. Since then, I've seen the film a few more times, and in my opinion, it deserves the classic status that it's given. Hard to believe that it's been exactly four years.

This is the film that started it all. While I have films listed before it, this is the first movie that I recorded viewing. Every year, I watch this on April 26th, or tomorrow, to celebrate the anniversary.

This was the first time that I watched this since it was in theaters. I saw it when I was 11, but I didn't really get into it (like the film's protaganist). I enjoyed it this time, and have ever since.
