    The Princess Bride

    If you have seen it. You are happy to watch again. If you haven’t, you will love it.

        Is that a line from the Tom Cardy’s song? I definitely heard that before, somewhere.

      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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

        Rotten Tomatoes is, and always has been, an absolutely abysmal place to go to find out if a movie is good.

    Its a really long movie but it’s got everything. RRR

    Its got bromances, romances, comedy and tragedy. It’s got plenty of over the top action and musical dance numbers. 10/10 movie.

      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…

    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.

    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.

            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.
