The Princess Bride
If you have seen it. You are happy to watch again. If you haven’t, you will love it.
Princess bride
I can’t believe how far down this is.
Clue - it’s got a little bit for everyone.
Plenty of adult jokes and themes that toe the line, but subtle enough to go over the head of any kid that doesn’t already get it.
Honestly, the most objectionable thing for hyper-conservatives would probably be Yvette’s cleavage.
Monty Python’s Life of Brian.
Whoever doesn’t like it can leave.I prefer the holy grail but life of Brian is also a top movie
My personal favorite is The Meaning Of Life. Not sure where that puts me.
Hook. It’s always Hook.
That movie has a 29% rotten tomato rating…
How the fuck?
Aren’t those tomato meter scores the aggregate of critic reviews? On cult classics, low-brow, or franchises with baggage, the user reviews are way more likely to match the vibe of a movie.
Funnily enough, it’s almost the complete opposite for independent movies made for “film people”. Or plots that require critical thinking or deep attention (the latter is my own Achilles’ heel)–where the user score is garbage, but the critic score (and thus, the tomato meter) is more likely to match your own (if you’re into movies like that).
Rotten Tomatoes is, and always has been, an absolutely abysmal place to go to find out if a movie is good.
Plex uses it other than that I don’t give them a click
Hook! Hook! Give us the Hook! Hook! Hook! Show us the Hook!
Recently had a movie night where we watched Oscar. Only one person (the person that wanted to watch it) had seen it before, but it was their birthday, so we all sat down to watch. It is a fantastic comedy of errors movie with Sylvester Stallone. None of us could believe that we had never even heard of it before, because we all loved it so much, and laughed so frequently. Fantastic movie night movie. I can’t recommend it enough.
Excellent suggestion. One of my favorites.
I love finding those excellent movies that have somehow floated just below the surface of the consciousness of my sphere of community.
Kung fu hustle
Kung Pow.
I once forgot the name of this movie, but remembered the “one clean chunk” line and immediately found it again.
I’ve used this movie for movie night multiple times and people who come always love it!
Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home
Shawshank Redemption, for sure. It’s not just a masterpiece, it’s a masterpiece that has incredibly broad appeal compared to most other great movies.
That’s probably the reason why it has been the top rated movie on IMDb for decades even as trends, opinions, and tastes have changed dramatically over the years.
It isn’t obvious but it’s pretty damn violent in some scenes. I didn’t realize until I tried this on my friend who couldn’t handle it.
I hate that movie with undying loathing.
Why?
Hahah why?
Please tell us why? Pretty please with a cherry on top?!
The Big Lebowski
I know quite a few people who can’t stand that movie. Now, that’s just, like, their opinion, man.
Some people also hate the Eagles and Malibu, man. It’s understandable.
I’m sorry, I wasn’t listening.
Count me as one of those people. I just don’t understand what everyone likes about it so much. It’s a highly quotable, but otherwise boring movie.
You’re out if your element, Donny
The Emperor’s New Groove.
Airplane!
12 Angry Men.
The problem with Airplane is that you have to pay attention to appreciate it. That’s a little harder to do with invited guests
The Police Squad TV show failed because nobody was used to paying attention to TV.
+1000 for 12 Angry Men. A fantastic drama for a group to watch together.
The problem with Airplane is that you have to pay attention to appreciate it. That’s a little harder to do with invited guests
Get drunk first. ;-)
Or make it a movie night about the movie.
Really, you need to pay attention to any movie if you want to know what’s going on. Except for primer.
Morbius
It’s morbin’ time.
Evolution.
Haven’t met anyone yet who hasn’t loved that film.
That’s the one with the aliens with the circular writing characters right?
edit: Oops nevermind, it’s the dandruff shampoo commercial. Despite that its a decent movie, I agree.
I think we’ve established that “ca-caw ca-caw” and “tookie tookie” don’t work.
Sean William Scott is probably the best part of that movie.
Honestly, probably the best part of any movie he’s in. Role Models was great, and Goon is amazing.
LOTR: The Fellowship of the Ring (Directors Cut)
should be good in filtering out some of the people I wouldn’t want to interact with anyway
I’ll be damned, nobody mentioned Lord of the Rings.
I came here to say LotR. Whoever doesn’t vibe with LotR doesn’t have a place in my house.
