...just for the opportunity to experience it for the first time again, what would it be? And do you think it would still hit you the same way as it did originally, or would you be worried that it wouldn't have the same impact anymore?
For me, I'd like to forget everything I know about Star Wars; the original trilogy at least. Believe it or not, I've never seen any Star Wars films, but thanks to all the parodies and the memes and the quotes over the years I feel like I could probably recite the first two movies almost word for word anyway. That's one of the reasons I've never gone out of my way to watch them, because I feel like I already have. But it would be really nice to have the chance to watch them with fresh eyes and no idea of all the plot twists and iconic moments in advance.
I had the same kind of problem when I first played Undertale. I don't PC game, so I had to wait until it came to the Switch, and by then I'd already had the entire game spoiled for me by the internet, so I wasn't able to enjoy it near as much as I would have liked to.

None, I value my memories more than chasing fleeting highs.

Would love to erase Life is Strange just to experience it for the first time again

Every time I sit down to watch a movie, I have to mentally set aside everything I've heard or read or people have told me about everything, and only then can I enjoy a movie as it was meant.
It helps that I have a memory like a goldfish.

Though I get what people are saying about moving onto the next thing, and generally agree, I do know that the one thing I'd love to experience again like I had the first time is Veronica Mars. Even though I can rewatch and still get so much from it, it's never the same as my initial viewing. Especially the first season.

I'm not sure if it counts, but there are two badly-written Touhou fan animations (Koishi Komeiji's Heart-Throbbing Adventure & Diamond In The Rough) I'd nominate.
Let's just say they are the prime example of how NOT to write dark fanfic films in my eyes.

The ending of Twin Peaks The Return. I was so heavily invested by the end, that I had an emotional reaction I've never had from any tv show ever.
I actually researched the ending several times afterwards to specifically try and recapture that sensation, and never did.

The MCU. Particularly Avengers, Civil War, Endgame, WandaVision, Hawkeye and No Way Home. I have great memories of watching each of those for the first time and getting caught up in the excitement of not knowing what was going to happen next.

Not a favorite of course, but Man of Steel. Not just to knock out a bad/mediocre movie, but to knock out the Snyderverse nonsense and thus the Snydentologists cyber bullying everyone. Can. We. Not. |

game of thrones, yes it started so strong, grew stronger then went out with a half hearted sigh but it was still amazing tv to watch for 8 years that would probably provide the same reactions from me

Terminator 2 comes to mind. My first time watching it, I was blown away by what a fun, badass masterpiece of a film it is. I don’t think I’ve ever come out of a first-time viewing as geeked out and excited as T2.

I knew a little of what was to come in No Way Home, Doctor Strange 2, even the Rescue Rangers movie. So those, just so I can mark out for the obvious parts.

Major League: Back to the Minors. One of the worst movies I've ever seen and I NEVER want to see it again.

I’ve never watched it, but hearing that mama June made a sex take filled my brain with images that left me permanently scarred.

Okay, if we’re gonna count sports, then the entire 2011 MLB postseason. Starting with that final night of the regular season. |
