    I have a daughter I enjoy showing movies I’ve already watched to. So I’ve been doing mostly rewatching, but with someone who has never seen, for example, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off before.

    The best was her reaction to Repo Man. We got to the end and she said, “all of that for a flying car?”

      This is so sweet. Getting to show cool stuff you like to your kids must be one of the best things about being a parent. If I ever end up becoming one I’ll show my kids all the great Pixar movies and also the Emperor’s New Groove cause that one is a classic.

        It really is, although you have to tailor it to their tastes, which means not showing them some movies you want to. She has absolutely no interest in seeing Star Wars or Indiana Jones movies, for example. But she loves cult movies, so I’m enjoying showing her those.
