I've never seen them before and I binge watched all five in three days a few weeks back.

I keep rewatching them. They're terrible (IMO) But there's just something that keeps me going back. I dont know if it's the time period its set in or if its just the fact that Johnny Depp is in it. i'm not a Disney film fan (Im sorry to all the Mums out there) but Pirates of the Carribean just got me hooked

What are some films that got you hooked? They can be as silly as you want. Don't hold back and let me know Grin

My husband is the same as you with POTC. I must have seen them dozens of times. I can never remember which is which, though. I like the one where that bloke with tentacles plays the organ.

I think I have seen them all at lease twice ,

I never use the pause / frezze frame when Jack Sparrow is on the scree . . . oh no not me . . . never . . . Blush

Ha ha! A pirate costume does add a certain something to an actor!

I think the music is quite addictive- there is something about dramatic film soundtracks (POTC, Star Wars, Jurassic Park, Indiana Jones etc) that makes people feel good.

MyEnormousTurnip · 17/11/2020 18:43

I’m like that with the lord of the rings trilogy. I could watch them back to back on a loop over and over.

I also like POTC. Actually I think I just like Orlando Bloom Grin

Legolas or Will Turner though?

Will Turner, obv.

Google " Michael Bolton/Lonely Island - Captain Jack Sparrow"

I am disinclined to acquiesce to your request.

On Stranger Tides by Tim Power is my guilty secret trashy read Blush
Lost count of how many rereads I've done.
Seen POTC at least four or five times.

PhilODox · 23/11/2020 00:39

And the POTC theme is on my running playlist Blush
I may or may not do extra leapy strides at the dramatic bits...

Slightly more adult in theme is Black Sails, but if you still have a pirate itch that needs scratching it is worth watching (not with kids around).

Mine is Marvel films.
I've never had an interest in super hero films really, I'd watched the old superman films when I was a kid but they are really old now and I didn't really like Batman. Then one day my ds asked me to watch Infinity War with him.
I did pretty reluctantly and couldn't believe the end! So then I had to watch End Game with him when it came out to see what happened and now I'm working my way through the rest of them, all in totally the wrong order though!
I love them as much as him now. I'm obsessed!

The Duff, it's a trashy Netflix type romcom but I have watched it a worrying amount of times over the two lockdowns. I'm not even sure why I like it so much but it just makes me happy.

SamsMumsCateracts · 23/11/2020 01:06

For me I think it's the music that keeps me going back. A good score on a film is like listening to a really great album with pictures, but I'm a muso, so that might be that influencing me.

DilysPrice · 23/11/2020 01:17

Marvel movies (but not the Iron Man ones for some reason).

I’m really cine-literate I promise you, I’ve watched and enjoyed a whole bunch of classic movies from the 1920s onwards, in many different languages. Leone, Wilder, Bergman, Hitchcock, Coppola, Truffaut, Keaton, Kurosawa: you name it, I’ve watched it and loved it.

But in my secret heart of heart I think that Captain America: The First Avenger is the greatest movie of all time, and that the guys who wrote the scripts for Infinity War and Endgame should get the Nobel Prize for literature and/or physics.
