I do this for a few things, movies in particular. For me most recently, I'm planning on watching Bo Burnham's Inside this weekend, for the first time since I watched it shortly post-release. I wasn't really intending to wait *checks watch* nearly 3 years on that one, but I definitely felt it needed some space before a rewatch.

Anyone else treat certain pieces of media similarly?

Final Fantasy VIII. I want to play it all the time and i wish i could erase the plot from my memory and play it again for the first time.

I remember the annoying protagonist, the stupid magic draw system, the crippling final dungeon. I don't remember the plot.

I'm not saying it's a masterpiece. It carries nostalgic and sentimental value for me. I like it.

Easily one of my favorites too. It was my first FF so I don't see a lot of the flaws others claim to.

I have the opposite problem with FFVIII. The only thing I remember is:

Moody teen saves the world with his oversized sword-gun.

Full disclosure, this one is big on the nostalgia for me as well.
