The Movie Billy Bob Thornton Watched 14 Times in One Weekend
Some people easily watch the same movie two days in a row or more, while others need time before revisiting a film, no matter how much they liked it. Billy Bob Thornton clearly belongs to the first group, having watched one movie more than a dozen times in just one weekend.
Watching the same movie 14 times in 48 hours is unusual—bordering on daunting or even eerie. Sure, many fans attend back-to-back screenings of their favorites, but watching a film that many times is quite extreme. Thornton has always been known as an unconventional person, which explains this unusual movie marathon.
His quirks include fear of Benjamin Disraeli’s facial hair, antique furniture, and Komodo dragons, and he once saw spiritual parallels between My Little Pony and the Jonestown massacre. This context makes his movie obsession more understandable.
The Movie in Question
The film he watched repeatedly was not a classic or cinematic masterpiece. It was a comedic mystery with horror elements, starring Don Knotts in his first major role after the Andy Griffith Show. Knotts played a fool who spends the night in a haunted house.
“I love that movie,” Thornton said to Rotten Tomatoes, referring to the 1966 film The Ghost and Mr. Chicken.
Summary
Billy Bob Thornton's unique personality shines through in his choice to watch The Ghost and Mr. Chicken 14 times in one weekend, showing his deep and unconventional affection for the film.
