top 6 memorable unplanned movie experiences

ok that sounded weird.
and it's 6 because i suddenly remembered one more and it couldn't be left out.
hey, its 1.20 am in the morning, give me a break.

anyway, here it is:
1. High School Musical 3
this post was triggered by this article of this movie, reminding me that we cringed to no end because of point #2 *shudders*. it got worse from there.
watched it with lalataya and nenek in our early collage years. was bored as shit after school and needed a 'fun' shitty movie to laugh at. sadly, this was our last resort. 


 2. Rain Live Performance 2009
ok so it's not exactly a movie, but so what. i'm highlighting 'experience' here, and this definitely was that.and more.
watched it with lalataya and chita after intense doses of 'tuhan' streaming and our spontaneous urge to indulge in more. would never forget our purchasing process at the dvd store. each bought our own out of 'fear' that we'd someday want to watch it at the same time and end up killing each other for it. 
and watching it with chita was the best (her deadpan one-liners worked wonders).
blacked out twice. after that we went back to our own rooms...
...but then litya found 'Love Song' MV. at 3am in the morning.
many t-shirt rippings happened from that moment on at future koreake sessions.


3. Burn After Reading
watched with haga kara and ata.
heavy, light, depressing, bursts of unexpected laughs, dark humor, and very--surprisingly--depressing towards the end, after the overall tone it gave us. 
all because of that part where we were caught off-guard (though it wasn't the ultimate highlight of the movie's intention, but still-).
brad pitt was awesome as hell playing a douchey idiotic but lovable character.who knew.
best part: "you fuck!"
'nuff said.


4. 3 Iron

out of all, this was the random-est.  
watched with pandya and kiki, both who, at the time i wasn't that close to (the others couldn't make it and me and kiki were bored off our asses). my first korean festival movie. fuckin disrespectful annoying ibu-ibu & bapak-bapak crowd.very beautiful movie about a guy who lives out in other peoples empty houses and instead of stealing stuff, he fixes broken items around the house as a sign of gratitude for staying the night. 
best part: 
                                       
(makes more sense in context)


5. Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy
watched with nenek at our kosan.
a random movie she had at that time and was surprisingly good but light(we were caught off guard from our first impression of the poster. we thought it was some boring sci-fi that we wouldn't understand). first time we saw zoe.
*bonus: after listing down this movie (which i haven't thought about in a while) on my manual notes, i miss-clicked this tab:


6. Shaun of the Dead
watched with haga ata and giri at haga's house one day after (high)school.
was stupidly funny--but a bit "..........." at times-- the whole way...until near the end they decided to chuck real gore shit down our throats. that was just...evil.
we were gloomy for the rest of the day.
