Watching short clips of movies over and over (Rocky Balboa)
I loved Rocky Balboa, and last night I found the final fight scene on YouTube (bootleg obviously). I watched a little bit of it and was literally shivering. I don't want to keep watching it though and make the emotional impact go away for me.
How do you handle this, when you love a specific scene (applies to songs too) so much that you want to keep watching it over and over? Do you give in, or do you refuse to watch one scene without watching the whole movie (or listening to the whole album)? I did this with the first scene of Season 2 Episode 1 of Lost and it didn't "ruin" it for me...after a month or so since the last viewing it's still just as fresh. However, songs definitely become played out. "Final Countdown" used to turn my stomach in knots when the Knicks were on the brink of elimination, but now I've listened to it too much and it's dead for me... |

What I usually do is I just listen/watch it over and over and over again until I get kind of sick of it, then I give it a week or month and whenever I come back to it I always love it just as much as I did at the start.

Re: Watching short clips of movies over and over (Rocky Balboa)
I don't know why, but this reminds me a lot of when I first had my heart broken (18). I'd sit and listen to the same darn slow, sad records over and over and over, just wallowing in misery for months on end.
Why the hell do people do that to themselves? The only scene I remember watching from a movie over and over again is the first big shotgun/attack scene in 'Assault on PRecinct 13' (the original), but only because it's so exciting, and the music in it is just awesome. |

Ive watched the Dave Chappelle- New Tupac video probably 300 times. I got sick of it and now a month and a half later it's as funny and awesome as ever.
The 2nd post in this thread has it right. |

Re: Watching short clips of movies over and over (Rocky Balboa)
To OP: I cant stop watching rocky movie clips either!
official MGM Rocky website There are quite a few movie clips on that site, so watching them over and over again doesnt appear as compulsive as watching only one clip. So, as a solution to your ( very recognizable ) problem: find and play similar stuff that is good too. ADRIAAANNN!! AADDRIIAAANN!!!! |

There was a two year period in college where I kept Bolero playing on my computer pretty much 24/7. I'd guess 20 hours a day on average, missing less than 10 days in those 2 years.
