What’s the weirdest movie you’ve ever watched?

I grew up as a teenager with a military father, so we moved a lot so it was always moving to a new place and figuring out where you were. I was very systematic in the way I did things I like to know where I am and before I could drive, I would ride my bike out six or eight blocks and either direction and know every street on my way back and then expand that when I started driving, it was the same way, but I would do it with a car and I would start with a mile and 2 miles and 3 miles and tell you you knew the map this is before GPS and for everything else so you knew where things were. You could discover them that way and it was just very systematic in the way I did things and still do things.
