Les Miserables viewing #21

Can you believe it's been six years since the Les Miserables movie came out? It seems like only yesterday doesn't it? Can you believe I saw it 20 times in the cinema? That was my record until 2017 when I saw Wonder Woman 24 times.

So I didn't think I was gonna get to see Les Miserables in the cinema again 6 years but a cinema in Cardiff is doing Musical Mondays right now where they show a bunch of old musicals every Monday.


Currently they're also showing The Rocky Horror Picture Show, The Wizard of Oz and The Greatest Showman (Which by the way is a totally overrated movie, and P.T Barnum is so not a guy who deserves a movie made about him. Seriously I don't get why people love The Greatest Showman)

So anyway...even though I've already seen it 20 times in the cinema and I have it on DVD, Blu-Ray and digital download, and I have 3 versions of the novel I still paid to see it in the cinema for the 21st time!

Call me crazy if you want, but I figured why not you know? If they're gonna go to the effort to re-show it then I might as well make the effort to see it again. It was actually really cool to see it on the big screen again.

It's so much better than that Crappy BBC version. So, so much better.

But 21 times people! I saw Les Miserables in the cinema 21 times! That's how much I love it!
