Hook. It’s always Hook.
Hook! Hook! Give us the Hook! Hook! Hook! Show us the Hook!
That movie has a 29% rotten tomato rating…
How the fuck?
Rotten Tomatoes is, and always has been, an absolutely abysmal place to go to find out if a movie is good.
Apollo 13.
Mostly factual, great pacing, gripping story, excellent acting, and an honest feel-good ending,
In fact, that and The Incredibles are two movies that I could show to almost any crowd with confidence.
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.
I hate that movie with undying loathing.
If kids are around, probably Howl’s Moving Castle or another Studio Ghibli movie.
If I am gearing for adults, a comedy like Chef where the premise is lighthearted but not a total snooze fest.
another Studio Ghibli
Grave of the Fireflies it is!
Back To the Future
Watched recently with my 8 year old and while it’s certainly still a justifiable classic, there’s still some things that are pretty problematic in this movie that made it a challenging watch with a kid…
Like incest, sexual assault, voyeurism, terrorism, and time paradoxes?
And machine-gunning the Doc.
Right BTTF is well known for glorifying all of these things
Still have to explain them.
Nope. Leaded gas
The Incredibles or Megamind
Got Superheros? Check.
Got Supervillain? Check.
For kids? Check.
Fun for adult as well? Check.
Non-marvel/DC? Check.
It’s perfect.
Megamind. Just Megamind. The Incredibles is good, but Megamind is first class.
Megamind is far more rewatchable than Incredibles
I politely disrespect your opinion
Correct. In my opinion, Megamind relies a bit too much on the humor, which is still pretty great and holds up however many years later.
But Incredibles relies more on the story and dynamics of the family, and imo will hold up through time a bit better for that.
I love both though.
Harry Potter. It’s a good movie, everyone know about it. It has some family friendly themes, with some action, romance, fantasy, and since people know about it it’s easy to immerse yourself in the story or just pick up if you miss a part (for bathroom or kitchen breaks) it’s fun to watch sober or high.
I would noped out immediately
The Princess Bride
If you have seen it. You are happy to watch again. If you haven’t, you will love it.
Road to El Dorado, Emperors New Groove, Megamind. Those are pretty damn reliable.
