Moooulllttteeee Paaassssssss
The Fifth Element
wow the 5th element for me too. Always thought I was weird but his movie is great
also tropic thunder lol
The Big Lebowski. Simultaneously ridiculous and incredibly sophisticated. People who think its “just” a stoner comedy may have some more viewings to go 🙂
Yeah, well, you know, that’s just, like, your opinion, man.
I never realized it was considered a stoner comedy! It’s quite a bit better than one I’ve seen in that category!
It gets the stoner comedy reputation as the dude is stoned throughout. He’s a character in the movie though, not then full tone. That’s probably why it’s so good. It blends so many genres with an interesting interweaving plot and wonderful dialogue.
It’s a deserved reputation as it’s great to watch stoned. Especially when the dude is confused and so are you. Or the psychedelic sequences. However it’s also not deserved as it’s so much cleverer than that with differen levels. A stoner comedy doesn’t normally have a coherent plot and levels.
Interesting. When my husband suggested we watch it, ages ago really early on in our relationship, I had asked him what category it was. I also asked him just now. Just now he went “Oh that’s difficult but broadly speaking it’s a comedy”. I said “I asked that question of you when you showed it to me like 15 years ago. So you know what you said then?” “No, what did I say then?” “You called it a dark comedy because someone died” (because I was and am sensitive to that) He nodded and said “Makes sense”
Don’t be fatuous.

I don’t think the Dude could be his illegitimate son since that’s part of the reason Maude referred him to that doctor. He wouldn’t have been very “thorough” if he missed that they were related.
That’s going off the deep end for me. I prefer the interpretation that its a video essay on masculinity. “What makes a man a man?” is the central tenet of that movie, and personally, knowing that was a really crystallizing moment that made all the bullshit fall aside. I read a beautifully succinct essay about this somewhere and will look for the link.
Roll tide.
Lord of the Rings
Die Hard
Groundhog Day
Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back
Megamind
Pirates of the Caribbean (2003)
The Princess Bride
The thing about Groundhog Day is that you only have to watch it once to have seen it several times.
I live that movie every damn day
Wish they’d make a new release for the 4k version of Pirates. From what I’ve heard the one out now is pretty bad in terms of color grading and detail.

I raise you The Holy Grail.
Blasphemer! You’re only making it worse for yourself!
Blazing Saddles
Monty Python and the Holy GrailSuper troopers
Harold and Kumar go to white castle
Ghost busters
Big Trouble In Little China.
Marathon Man [Dustin Hoffman, Lawrence Olivier] seems to have been designed for multiple viewings. A character seen briefly in one scene turns up later in the movie. A quick telephone call becomes incredibly important but you have to be paying close attention to every minute.
The Thing (1982)
It’s my favorite movie of all time and I watch it every October.
I watched this for the umpteenth time just last night! Always a good one.
Looks like i just found my people.

It’s wild how relatable it still is nearly 30 years later.
PC load letter? What the fuck does that mean?
I could set the building on fire…
The good old Blues Brothers boys.
“No, ma’am, we’re musicians.”
Idiocracy
There’s something about that close-to-home dystopian outlook that calms me. Now go away, I’m batin’!
I like money.
Its a little darker but have you seen god bless america?
I have not, but I’ll check it out some time. The trailer makes me think of NBK.
NBK?
Natural Born Killers. I think it’s the whole “killer duo” and cultural obsessions that linked them together for me.
But it’s been a while since I watched NBK, too, so maybe I’ll have to do these two back to back!
Hackers. Yes, it’s corny - cheesy, even - but it had a great cast with awesome chemistry, and it did a great job at capturing the zeitgeist of hacker/punk culture. Plus so many memorable quotes…
You are forgetting the soundtrack! Its still amazing and slaps!
Hack the planet!
CLI + VR and specially GPUs to be able to hack in those UI… For a moment while watching Superman (2025) I had those flashbacks (Luthor’s employees in fight scenes).
Shit I haven’t seen the new Superman, is it any good?
I’m also giggling at the thought of spending that kind of money on a VR headset just to use for a console lol
Super cliche answer but:
The Shawshank Redemption
