Addictive Films

ADDICTIVE FILMS.............We All Have Them!!!!
We all have experienced some films that were good one time or another, a few that were even great and some on rare occasions that were even phenomenal. But every now then a film comes along that has an affect on you. Completely and totally unexplainable, the film has a personal addictive quality to them.  So much so that no matter what you are doing at that time; no matter how many times you have seen it………………each and every single time you see it on TV, hear it on TV, even if you may be in the other room, you pause to go watch it again,……….. Even if it’s just for a few minutes or a few scenes, you watch it again probably for the 231st time. But who’s really counting anyway.
But that’s not all; sometimes you may be completely unaware that some how either by intent or subliminally you begin to actually whisper a few lines of dialog verbatim. Oh, yes, word for word to that exact same cadence, same accent and sometimes even mimicking the voice of the actual actor performing. 
Sick huh?.................Oh, so you’re saying it’s just me now that has this problem?
