how old are fans?


I was just wondering how old fans of this movie are? whether you were the same age as the characters/older/younger?

I was 23 when it was released.

I was 25 when I first owned & start re-watching it on dvd. I could somewhat relate, it's tuned to a 90's universe.

I was about 21 when it was released And have loved it since I first saw it then - I'm 34 now.
Also love the comic.

I was 9 when it came out. I first saw it in my early teens and really disliked it, I found it boring and tedious. I then caught it on late night TV three-four years ago and it immediately hooked me and really changed my mind. I have watched it once or twice a year since, most recently saw it yesterday. Still really like it. I'm now 21.

When it came out in 2001, I was 42. I'm now 56. I loved it then and I love it now. It's one of my fave films of the past decade!

I'm 64 and just saw it today for the first time. I liked it a lot.

I was 43 when I saw GW on release and I love it more now than I ever have - it's one of my top 10 movies, a classic. Love when Enid wants to follow the Satanists and when Seymour says "Jeez-us!"

I first saw the film about 8 years ago at the end of my 40s. I'd missed it on first release and watched a library DVD of it. I'd read the original comics in Clowes's Eightball in the 1990s, so I got into it from that angle.

24 or 25 when I first saw it. 37 when I re-watched yesterday.

I wouldn't call myself a fan, but I do rate this movie (and this type of movie) highly.

I first saw it in 2004 on TV when I was 14, but I didn't get it. But then I watched it again about a year later and really enjoyed it, and then I watched it for a third time a few months later and I've loved it since. I was about 15 when I really enjoyed it, I guess it spoke to me at that age. I've never managed to get anyone into it though, despite telling them how good it is! They don't believe me.

I first saw Ghost World when I was 65 and loved it. It's funny, insightful and surreal on so many levels. I like the characters. These are people I have seen and known in real life. The movie inspired me to get the graphic novel it came from. That is great as well.
I feel that anyone of any age can watch and enjoy any movie ever made, if they have an open mind.
