Double Take Redo - Romance Writers Weekly - #lovechatwrite

We only own about a dozen movies, so you know I like it if I can hold the DVD in my hand!

​I can’t believe this is the last week of August! I took last week off the hop as we were away camping, enjoying some of the remaining days of summer. One day it was so cold we could see our breath, the next we were swimming in the lake. Crazy!

This week’s topic is an interesting one…

If you could see one movie again for the first time, what would it be and why?

I have to admit, I’m a really picky movie viewer. I find it much harder to forgive poor storytelling and awkward acting in a movie than in a book. Maybe it has something to do with my years in television broadcasting. I simply find it harder to achieve that suspension of disbelief that is necessary to get into the story. Usually I prefer watching a movie I’ve seen and liked before than trying a new one.

I think the movie I’d like to “see again for the first time” is My Big Fat Greek Wedding. I absolutely love this movie, but the problem with rewatching a comedy is that you see all the jokes coming, so they lose some of their punch. I remember sitting in the movie theatre crying with laughter the first time I saw it, and I would love to experience that hilarity again.

What about you? What movie would you choose to see again? Let me know below, then hop over to PG Forte to discover her choice!
