The assignment was to make a quick list of all of my favorite films to rewatch. Loosely defined, it doesn’t have to be a rewatch of the entire film. Joined in progress is allowed. Sometimes a fully intentional rewatch is OK, too. Without any prompting, the list expanded to all my favorite films, lumped into categories I just made up.
