This is a remarkably good list. I know you’re getting a ton of recommendations OP, but this is really a very comprehensive one with an absolutely excellent balance of “real good quality” combined with “easy and rewarding to watch.”
Thanks for the complement!
As much as I love Kung Pao, I would replace it with Airplane because Kung Pao is just so dumb and divisive. I know people who love that movie and I know people who absolutely hated it. You have to be a certain age (under 12 imo) to really appreciate it.
Airplane however, is timeless regardless of how old you are when you first watch it.
Airplane didn’t make my list only because I forgot/didn’t think about it but defiantly should be there.
Really this list is only a small selection of movies I love and could think of right off the bat. I missed a huge portion of great recommendations. Ill leave them for others to fill in as there are a ton of great comments filled with great movies already and im sure there are more to come.
Im bookmarking this thread so I can get some ideas of things I haven’t seen yet or things I must have in my collection.
I decided not to comment on “complement”, but now I think you’re doing this on purpose.
One of us only tells lies and the other only truths… Truth be told I’m a shit speller for sure and my unmedicated adhd defiantly doesn’t play nice with dyslexia nor proofreading. If it is something important like legal docs or code documentation i send that shit off to a family member or friend so they can have a good laugh at my expense before they tell me to fuck off and figure it out on my own.
You know what, I’m going to say that’s the right word in this context.
