How many times have you seen this?

This film often shows up on "movies you can only watch once" list, but I've seen this so many times. I own the soundtrack and that's pretty good too.

Twice. Once by myself and the other time with my dad. Both times were emotionally draining but powerful.

My dad just watched movies only for entertainment and escapism purposes. After he saw it he said “why do you have me watch this. It was a horribly depressing movie!”

Depressing but should be shown is schools.

Just show kids this and I think drug use in teens would decrease substantially.

Definitely.

Six or Seven times, but I can’t watch it anymore.
The mother’s story is what really hits me the most.

2 times. It's been over 15 years since I've last seen this and after seeing this trending I'm going to watch it for the third time soon.

There was a time when I also didn't watch it for about 15 years but it was just as good as I remembered. And there's so much nostalgia I have for it.

Twice, maybe three times. It's a very good film, but it stays with me. I don't need to watch it often.

It's not one I watch often, but I'm sure I've seen it 7 or 8 times.

[–] samoanjoes (56640) 4 months ago

That's probably where I'm at too which is interesting because I had a really large gap where I didn't rewatch it.
