Is that what I'm supposed to do? Because instead of that I have watched Frozen 1, 2, Olaf's Frozen Adventure, Frozen Fever, and Once Upon A Snowman approximately 1,752 times.
So much of my taste in movies and music has been formed by my dad sharing the things that he loves with me. I never would have listened to The Clash or Jim Croce, or watched movies like Dr Strangelove and North by Northwest if it wasn't for his recommendations.
My kid and I bonded a lot over Star Trek TNG, and I love that the show imparts a lot of wisdom and ethical lessons, which have become a part of my kid's personality, just as they became a part of my personality when I was younger than he is now.
I know what you mean, but isn't natural that we like to share fun with others, and fun is what we like and what we know? I think that forcing one to some mindset (for example, religion) frequently has an opposite effect.
I only realized a few years ago that two of the movies my dad loved (Goldfinger and High Plains Drifter) comprised the (supposed) "hero" perpetrating actual rape on-screen and it being portrayed as a perfectly acceptable thing for a (supposed) "hero" to do.
My son and I enjoy throwing Mr. Miyagi quotes at each other, even though I definitely like the movie more than he does. What he really loved was Real Genius. He had more fun with that movie than I did.
Ehh, with me, it was mostly second hand exposure with a lot of the stuff my dad watched growing up. I was lucky enough to have the choice to just leave and not watch it.
Though the second hand exposure is kinda nuts considering I'm pretty sure I've seen every episode of MASH at least 2-3 times. That, and now I'm pretty sure I've seen every episode of Emergency too. Doesn't help that they come on around the same time I'm helping in the kitchen, but still, it's crazy.
Lol, for me it would be Bonanza, MASH and the odd episode of The Rifleman. But the similarly it was usually because my dad put it on during his lunch break (small town, easy drive) and when I was home during the summer I'd just go in the kitchen to clean or get water and suddenly I've spent an hour watching TV Land shows
Old movies didn't have nearly as much political virtue signaling that new movies have.
New movies have a "diversity quota" where they literally put a numbers on the cast members and production crew members based on their race, gender and so on. They try to quantify how diverse things are.
