I learned Spanish by watching one movie 50 times

This seems like overkill to me, but Lamont is speaking very highly of this method. I personally rewatch movies extremely rarely, and the number of movies that I have seen more than once is very small, so the idea of watching one movie 50 times is rather nauseating.

I do, however, concur that re-consuming A/V media in an L2 is beneficial to me, as I noticed that I tend to struggle with correctly interpreting grammar the first time around.

50 times sounds quite nauseating to me too. Having watched his original Spanish livestreams I'm quite impressed. I might give it a go, though I think my limit would be 10 times before moving onto something new. I guess I could probably do Shrek or something for the memez, I watched the crap out of Shrek 2 when I was younger.

I recently revisited some episodes of La Casa de Las Flores and understood almost everything, it felt like magic. This was after intensively studying almost every episode of season one and revisiting the first episodes.

I think it would take me longer to study a whole movie, a few sittings at a time but once I've gone through it once I'd probably be okay to watch another 9 times. I might consider it as a small challenge, i have about 1600 hours to fill so doing something like this wouldn't be the worst, it might not be the best. If I try it atleast once, I may see if it's worth it or not.
