Is it normal to put off watching a film cos it's too good to watch at just any time?

If there's a really good film that I've been looking forward to, then I kind of put it on a pedestal and think that that film is so good that I have to pick the perfect time to watch it. So I'll pick a weekend night when I'll have the house to myself or sometime like that. But then when the time comes, unless I'm in the perfect mood to watch it (I'm not in the least bit tired or depressed, etc.), I'll put it off yet again, thinking that if I watch it now it'll be spoiled since I'm not in the perfect mood. It's gotten to the point that even when I am in a great mood, this little nagging voice will try to convince me that I'm not and will try to find some excuse why I shouldn't watch the film now.

I guess it's not just with films that this happens with, it happens with any thing I've been been excited looking forward to. But it happens with films the most often.

      Lots of films, sometimes I'll put off watching a film for years. I'm way behind on all the super hero films and the Disney films. Plus any classic film that I just haven't gotten around to watching yet I'll put off literally for years (some examples off the top of my head: Reservoir Dogs, TRON, Conan the Barbarian, Dr. Strangelove, Robocop).

    I honestly don't know if what you're doing is normal or not, but I do the exact same thing. OMG!

    What film is it? I think it’s pretty normal, in fact it’s something I see myself doing, for me if it’s a big movie or a classics or one of my absolute favourites I will put it off until later like a weekend night like you said, or wait till a long weekend perhaps where I may have more time to cook my favourite meal.

    If i have had a really good working week with longer hours etc that is another scenario I would wait for, that’s exactly how I view it and yes I understand the little voice nagging away haha, so yes it’s normal in my opinion.
