The Princess Bride
If you have seen it. You are happy to watch again. If you haven’t, you will love it.
Is there kissing?
Some day you may not mind so much.
It’s got romance, action, comedy, fantasy, safe for kids and families… Covers most groups
The fire swamp is a little intense for the little ones, but for teens and up it’s a great choice.
I think it’s fine for kids younger than teenagers. Maybe around 8 and up. By the time they are teenagers, most kids are watching anything and everything, included R-rated movies.
Fifth Element
It has the multi pass to everyone’s heart.
Super green.
That’s what I was thinking
Korben my man. I-I-I-I have no fire.
Princess bride
I can’t believe how far down this is.
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!
Sadness entered the chat…
Those movies are so great. Probably stick with the G and PG options if there’s a young kid in the mix (thinking of Princess Mononoke, which is PG-13, IIRC). The PG ones often have just the right amount of “safe-scary” elements that it absolutely grabs their attention. Great movies for grown-up/kid conversation-starters to boot, just due to the deep, rich, human themes they explore.
Human centipede.
You just said “vibes”, not “good vibes”.
Costume design was a highlight
This comment is such a Red Flag :-)
This reminds me of one definition of art: that it creates an emotion or reaction in the viewer.
Not that this movie in particular is art lol. Feels like a fetish film, if anything.
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.
Nope. Leaded gas
Right BTTF is well known for glorifying all of these things
Still have to explain them.
Papa, what’s “making out”? Eww, kissing.
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.
Hell, I’m always down to watch Incredibles just for the soundtrack and Edna Mode.
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
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.
Hook! Hook! Give us the Hook! Hook! Hook! Show us the Hook!
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.
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 watched that when it was released, and I can’t remember that much about it. But I do remember everyone in the theater just laughing our asses off. For some reason I always kind of put in the same basket as Men at Work.
I love finding those excellent movies that have somehow floated just below the surface of the consciousness of my sphere of community.
3 nominations for the Razzie?
Wildly undeserved IMO.
Young Frankenstein.

It’s Frankenstein!
What the F?
Where!?
Probably pornhub.
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.
Big Lebowski
Brandt can’t watch, though, or he has to pay a hundred.
ultra-awkward wheeze-laugh we’re all very fond of veroxii, such a free spirit!
