Does anyone have a certain film as a obsession?

Same here. Oddly enough, I've only watched the trilogy once in the past year (not including catching bits on TV). I found that Return of the King was great for background noise while doing my engineering homework, so that DVD got a lot of usage.

Naked Gun
Airplane!
Animal House

I'm so obsessed with films that I created a site to deal with it listing everything I've seen (probably not complete) and my favourite films for each year from 2008 back to 1950 (before I was born) and then for each decade 1900-1940... I'm a sad obsessed individual.

I am currently addicted to the new Twilight series by Stephenie Meyer she has helped produce the film so thats why I love it!

Last time I obsessed over a flim was when I saw billy elliot a few years ago and I kept watching it loads.
I've had alot of film obsessions, I remember my first one when I was 2 and I was mad about bambi.
When I was about 7 I was obsessed with bugs life, I wouldn't shut up about it and I knew nearly all the dialogue in it, and if we did creative writing at school nearly all my stories were based on bugs life.

Spokane Girl,

I like The Aristocats, too.

The Dark Knight

Kung Fu Panda

THose two are my top right now!

I have two movie obsessions... but not that much. My mind won't let me watch something over and over and over until I have it memorized.

First is What About Bob?, my favorite movie since I first watched it. I know the movie so well, but I can still pop it in and laugh really hard. I've seen it probably 30 times I'd say... which is a lot for me. I'm not a big movie watcher.

Next is the Big Lebowski, fantastic movie. Everything is perfect... I love the humor, the characters... the puzzle of a plot that actually is starting to make sense... it's a movie I can find no flaws in. Though What About Bob? is still my favorite.

Like quite a few people it seems, I went through a Lord of the Rings trilogy phase. I've only sat down and watched it all the way through once in the past year though. I want to read through all the books again before I watch the movies again. Anyone else getting excited for the Hobbit movie?

The past six months or so, I've been crazy about literary adaptations. Especially historical fiction adaptations of Jane Austen's books. But there was a really great adaptation of Tess of D'Urbervilles on Masterpiece Classics the past two Sundays, so that broke my Jane Austen binge, lol. I've watched ToD twice since then.

Ghost in the Shell.

for a while after I first saw it on dvd at a friends house. I would watch "Fight Club" at least once every six weeks or so. sometimes with the various commentary tracks on, so I could glean any further ideas on how the filmmakers adapted it and so on. after that I read the novel and now Chuck Palahniuk is one of my favorite authors. :wandering off topic: I like that his books are styled in such a way that I can stay engaged and not space out (there is a thread on spacing in the general discussion forum). my other favorite author is another Chuck, Klostermann that is. more pop-culture non-fiction stuff but his first book "Fargo Rock City" was great since we had a similar fondness for 80s metal bands. okay I've wandered far enough off topic. who's next?
