Some people want to be able to watch a movie “for the first time” all over again. Others want to forget a rubbish one. If you could remove just one movie from your memory, which would it be?

    That movie is a tool, a very useful tool.

    My friends kid started smoking weed and getting into trouble at 14 he was bitching about it to me and I said “Make her watch Requiem, I’m a grown ass man who did drugs and that movie makes me scared of drugs”

    Few weeks later he had to pick her up from a friends house when the parents caught them smoking a joint after dinner at a sleepover.

    She was all surprised he wasnt yelling and screaming and said “So, am I in trouble?” He just said “Nah, lets go home and watch a movie.”

      In high school, most of my friends were into weed and normal shit like that. But then, our group started to get into ecstasy. After a few particularly weird e experiences, my ex and I were sick of it. We decided to decline an invite to go take ecstacy with some friends and watch this film instead. To this day, I have never touched ecstacy again. It reprogrammed us!

        I wouldnt do his parenting a disservice by saying that the movie did the job for him, but it certainly gave him a jumpoff point for “Do you get why you doing drugs is a big deal now?” And “do you get why we are scared of where you doing drugs could lead?” His daughter certainly pumped the brakes on the rebellious behavior.
