@francis Are there films you already like? People might be able to recommend others like them
@jalefkowit recent one coming to mind is 28 Years Later! though it doesn't have to be horror :)
@francis what kinds of stories do you enjoy?
@WizardOfDocs willing to give anything a go :)
@francis my childhood favorite movies that have really held up are Space Jam, Muppet Treasure Island, and Treasure Planet (also counting Yellow Submarine, though I first saw that at university)
pretty much all the Muppet movies from before 2000 are worth your time (though Muppet Christmas Carol still terrifies me)
the good James Bond movies are Goldeneye and Moonraker; On Her Majesty's Secret Service is my controversial favorite
@francis my wife and I have a regular online movie night that started in lockdown, but we don't have a comprehensive list anywhere of what we've watched
Movies to see so you can say you've seen them:
- Die Hard
- The Matrix
- Fellowship of the Ring (does not have to be the extended version)
Dumb fun cultural touchstones:
- Smokey and the Bandit
- Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure
- School of Rock
I'll probably think of more in both those categories later
@francis oh, and the original Star Wars trilogy (ep 4-6) plus Rogue One are worth your while, and opinions vary wildly about which of the other movies in the series are
@francis One of my all time favorites is, Raise the Red Lantern - an introduction to foreign film if you are getting into film. Also the two films, Jean de Florette and Manon of the Spring (in that order). Films I can watch over and over again.
