The Movies I’ve rewatched the most in the last couple of years

I’ve started logging every movie I watch on Letterboxd in October 2022. In-between then and now these are the movies I’ve (re)watched 3 or more times.

Letterboxd also counted John Mulaneys newest special (watched 5 times), Bo Burnham’s Make Happy special (3 times) and the Netflix docu-series about Ghislaine Maxwell (3 times) but I don’t.
I am also a bit ashamed of the last one because I didn’t even think it was good the first time. Don’t ask me why I’ve watched it so many times. I have no idea.

Silver Linings Playbook – 5 times
I love this movie so so much. For me it’s one of those movies you can watch when you feel completely hopeless and by the end your hope and faith in love and happiness is completely restored.

Chungking Express – 5 times
Cult classic. I was really obsessed with it for a little while and showed it to multiple people. Tbh I’m low-key already kind of sick of it by now. I think I’ve rewatched it one too many times.

Past Lives – 4 times
Celine Song had me at the Eternal Sunshine mention. Probably one of the best directorial debuts I’ve ever seen. (I should make a list about that) I’m sooo hyped for Materialists.

May – 3 times
My favorite horror movie atm. May is so me (except for the murdering people aspect). I actually found this movie through an “autistic girls” movie list on Letterboxd. May is not canonically autistic though, but it’s heavily implied with the way she’s written.

Eighth Grade – 3 times

Bo Burnham channeling his own anxiety through a coming-of-age story about a 14 year old girl who’s extremely awkward, insecure and unpopular? Yes please!

Me and You and Everyone We Know – 3 times
One of my favorite movies. I probably rewatched it an extra 3-5 times in the year before I made a Letterboxd account. I was very obsessed with it for a while.

Kajillionaire – 3 times
Another heavily autistic-coded protagonist in this one that I identify with strongly. Also probably my favorite sapphic love story of all time.

Adaptation. – 3 times
Genius movie and my favorite Nic Cage performance(which says a lot for me). Great for when you feel pathetic and insecure.

Anomalisa – 3 times
A stop motion movie about a guy who has a disorder which makes every person look and sound the same to him. But then he meets a girl (played by one of my favs Jennifer Jason Leigh) who doesn’t and romance and drama ensues…
Warning: graphic puppet sex scene. Might be a bit awkward to watch with others.

Jane Wants a Boyfriend – 3 times
A movie about an autistic woman in her 20s who’s obsessed with movies. I mean come on! This was basically made for me.

Twilight – 3 times
It’s like my own personal brand of heroin.

Booksmart – 3 times
Probably the funniest teen movie of the last ten years.

Bottoms – 3 times
Fight Club but a teen rom-com for lesbians is such a great premise. Also I love Ayo Edebiri and Rachel Sennot in everything.

Fallen Angels – 3 times
The unofficial sequel to Chungking Express. Sort of its darker and raunchier counterpart, but still with similar themes (criminal activities, unrequited love, feeling lost)

Mean Girls – 3 times

Wicked – 3 times

Bridget Jones’ diary – 3 times
There’s a special bond between a girl and the movies that gave her body dysmorphia growing up. <3

Love Actually – 3 times
Does it still make me feel things? Yes. Do I think it aged horribly and do I love to hate it? Also yes.

(the last two I rewatch once every year on Christmas)

      Es ist einer meiner Lieblingsfilme und extrem relatable, aber huuuuuge Trigger Warnings was viele Sachen angeht. Wenn du magst kann ich dir eine Liste schicken, auf was du dich ca. einstellen musst. Es gibt zumindest 2-3 Szenen wo ich nicht hinschaue beim rewatchen, weil sie so schlimm sind. D:
      Sowohl gore als auch Sachen die einfach psychisch extrem belastend sind.
      Können ihn aber gern mal gemeinsam anschauen. Dann kann ich dir sagen wann du wegschauen solltest und was passiert in den Szenen
