For me it’s Chrono Trigger. I always want to play it. I want to show it to my children. I hope it will be regarded as a masterpiece for generations to come.
Some that I'm not seeing here much yet:
Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy, War of the Worlds, Minority Report, Gattaca, Heavy Metal, Repo Man, Starship Troopers, The Fifth Element, Tron, Tron Legacy, Independence Day, Idiocracy, Predator, Star Trek (2009), Escape From New York, Galaxy Quest, Total Recall, Close Encounters Of The Third Kind, E.T., Wall-E, Jurassic Park (1993), District 9, Robocop, Children of Men, Inception, and the Back To The Future trilogy,
I stopped drinking alcohol some years ago. Before that I hardly consumed any alcohol at all for many years, but in my college years and maybe some years after that, I drank socially like “everybody else”. But I gradually kind of got tired of dealing with the bad feelings (physical and emotional), so I drank less and less....
I intentionally stopped drinking about 10 years ago. I found that post divorce me was drinking more that I was comfortable with. So I stopped.
I do not think I was an alcoholic, but there seem to be many definitions for that word. I may start drinking again someday. But we will see, no plans now to start again.
I am not at all opposed to people drinking. I will even go with you and be the designated driver. But many bars really do not even try to accommodate non drinkers. I have had some fucking awful spicy virgin marys.
I do think that THC gummies are healthier than drinking. But I have really slowed my use of them because I think they were affecting my already bad memory.
My pick would be, dealing with the ‘wild west’ atmosphere. That being, before cyber bullying laws existed, you had bunches of people getting off scot-free with telling you to off yourself or call you a list of derogatory terms.

We had a couple of friends who took their families “glamping” a few weeks ago. They extolled the virtues of lower costs and the fabulous service, and even invited parts of our family to come stay with them for a couple of nights. This was not the first time we were invited to “glamping”, and it still left a bitter...
I do a lot of car camping in my truck at state and national parks. That is pretty frugal, especially if you don't get electricity. A non-electric tent site is usually under $25/night.
I do not get the impression that glamping is frugal at all.
As far as comfort goes, you can use an air mattress in a tent which rivals a regular mattress. All my fat ass needs is a 3" air mattress between me and the ground. Less than that and my back might hurt.
Most campgrounds have a washhouse with running water, sinks, flush toilets. You can go more rustic without that. I've done it but cannot say that shitting in a hole is much fun.
