The Movie Billy Bob Thornton Watched 14 Times in One Weekend
Some people don’t mind watching a movie two days in a row or even more, while others prefer some time before revisiting a film, no matter how much they liked it. Billy Bob Thornton clearly belongs to the first group, as he watched one movie over a dozen times in a single weekend.
The idea of seeing the same film 14 times in just 48 hours sounds daunting and unusual. Many have attended back-to-back screenings of films they love, but more than ten times is quite extraordinary. Still, judging Thornton is difficult since he’s known for his unique personality.
Watching a movie so many times may seem crazy, but when the viewer is someone who is afraid of Benjamin Disraeli’s facial hair, antique furniture, and Komodo dragons—and who once compared My Little Pony to the Jonestown massacre—it starts to make sense.
The Film He Obsessed Over
Was it a timeless classic or an iconic masterpiece? Surprisingly, no. Thornton dedicated his weekend to a comedic mystery with horror elements starring Don Knotts in his first major role after The Andy Griffith Show. The plot centers on an idiot who spends a night in a haunted house.
“I love that movie,” Thornton told Rotten Tomatoes, referring to the 1966 film The Ghost and Mr. Chicken.
Summary
Billy Bob Thornton’s devotion to a quirky comedy-horror film reveals his unconventional tastes and unique personal quirks.
