What movies or TV series have you watched more than 5 times? – Ah, the daily writing prompt wants to know about my idiot box viewing habits.

In my childhood in the 50s and 60s, I had the golden era of Looney Tunes characters that were created between 1944 and 1964. I still enjoy an occasional cartoon of the Wile E Coyote trying to catch the Road Runner.

In my teens and 20s I used to watch the series MASH a lot. Also in my younger days, Movies I’ve watched over 5x would include Clint Eastwood’s westerns, The Great Escape, The Dirty Dozen, The Train, The Godfather, Jaws and Patton.

As I grew up and had children, I became familiar with the Disney movies and other children’s programming. Sometimes I miss that stuff.

I like comedies like Animal House, Blues Brothers, Caddyshack, Stripes and Beverly Hills Cop. Even the first Ghostbusters movie.

I’ve really tried to cut viewing the same movies and series over and over as I’ve gotten older. There is one movie that I’ve watched a good bit in recent years. A WWII flick called Fury.

I know I’m going to think about this a bit more later today and say to myself “how could I have forgot that”, well at this age you forget.

I see some rain predicted for early next week so maybe I will grab some popcorn and catch a movie.
