I know I've watched it two or three times over the years, but I don't 
remember it all that well.  And the bits I do remember are more towards 
the end when it gets goofy.  Anyway, I already put the list together.  I 
was looking to see where I could squeeze it in and turns out it was 
already on the list.  That doesn't guarantee I'll watch it, but at least 
I don't have to squeeze it in anywhere since it's already accounted for. 
  And if I follow the watch order I made, it's the first movie of the 
day, which is a huge plus.  I prefer to get the ones I'm least 
interested in out of the way first.
