Wednesday Weekly Blogging Challenge: Reread Books or Rewatch Movies? Why or Why Not?

 

The Wednesday Weekly Blogging Challenge is hosted by Long and Short Reviews. They offer this blog hop as a weekly prompt to help you gain new friends and visitors. You don't have to participate every week, but if you decide to post and join the blog hop for a week, Long and Short Reviews requests that you share your link in their weekly post on their website (which will be the top post on the home page each Wednesday morning).

Back to Wednesday again for this week's Wednesday Weekly Blogging Challenge. What a great way to celebrate Hump Day, though I usually work weekends. 

This week we are prompted to answer: Reread books or rewatch movies? Why or why not?

I do both as often as I can. I used to read the Anne of Green Gables series and the Little House series annually. I've read The Thorn Birds half a dozen times. As far as movies go, I have watched The Sound of Music so many times that I have lost count. When I met The von Trapps late in 2007, after the release of their album, Snow: New Songs of the Season, they were unimpressed by my dedication to the movie. LOL! I didn't know until today that they disbanded in 2016. Other movies I've rewatched:

• Anne of Green Gables and its sequels
• The Wizard of Oz
• Elf
• Polar Express
• Beauty and the Beast with Emma Watson and Dan Stevens
• The Downton Abbey movies
• Let It Snow and The Christmas Pageant (Hallmark movies)

I reread and rewatch because I always find something new I didn't notice before or that hits differently with fresh eyes and ears. 

What books or movies have you rewatched? Or do you prefer not to?
