The Princess Bride
If you have seen it. You are happy to watch again. If you haven’t, you will love it.
Princess bride
I can’t believe how far down this is.
Jokes on you. Right now it’s the number one and number 3 spot on the list.
Almost as if the list changes…
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…
Papa, what’s “making out”? Eww, kissing.
Just made plans to go to a drive in theatre near me to watch all 3 movies
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.
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
My personal favorite is The Meaning Of Life. Not sure where that puts me.
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.
Golf clap?
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.
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.
I’ve used this movie for movie night multiple times and people who come always love it!
The Big Lebowski
I know quite a few people who can’t stand that movie. Now, that’s just, like, their opinion, man.
Some people also hate the Eagles and Malibu, man. It’s understandable.
I’m sorry, I wasn’t listening.
Count me as one of those people. I just don’t understand what everyone likes about it so much. It’s a highly quotable, but otherwise boring movie.
You’re out if your element, Donny
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.
It isn’t obvious but it’s pretty damn violent in some scenes. I didn’t realize until I tried this on my friend who couldn’t handle it.
I hate that movie with undying loathing.
Why?
Please tell us why? Pretty please with a cherry on top?!
Hahah why?
The Emperor’s New Groove.
Airplane!
12 Angry Men.
The problem with Airplane is that you have to pay attention to appreciate it. That’s a little harder to do with invited guests
The Police Squad TV show failed because nobody was used to paying attention to TV.
+1000 for 12 Angry Men. A fantastic drama for a group to watch together.
The problem with Airplane is that you have to pay attention to appreciate it. That’s a little harder to do with invited guests
Get drunk first. ;-)
Or make it a movie night about the movie.
Really, you need to pay attention to any movie if you want to know what’s going on. Except for primer.
Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home
Star Trek 10 - First Contact is also pretty solid.
isn’t the 10th movie is Nemesis? but I’m glad you added the title as well to clarify it’s not that what you had in mind, because Nemesis… well… definitely exists, that’s for sure.
You’re right. It was the eighth movie. My bad. I didn’t even remember Nemesis. It kinda is the Star Trek V but for TNG.
Morbius
It’s morbin’ time.
And then he morbed all over them!
Rocky Horror Picture Show — If they’ve seen it before they’ll still love it, if they hate it they can leave
I finally watched it. I left. Was probably best watched in its day.

Evolution.
Haven’t met anyone yet who hasn’t loved that film.
That’s the one with the aliens with the circular writing characters right?
edit: Oops nevermind, it’s the dandruff shampoo commercial. Despite that its a decent movie, I agree.
I think we’ve established that “ca-caw ca-caw” and “tookie tookie” don’t work.
Sean William Scott is probably the best part of that movie.
Honestly, probably the best part of any movie he’s in. Role Models was great, and Goon is amazing.
Big Lebowski
