The Princess Bride
If you have seen it. You are happy to watch again. If you haven’t, you will love it.
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 wonder how I would have turned out if more sheltered growing up. I think I was around 7 when i watched Childs play and Nightmare on Elm Street. Then here you are saying some flames killing a fake looking big rat might be too scary for kids.
I watched The Neverending Story in my 30’s and realized the Artax scene had caused me decades of nightmares.
Oh yeah. Nothing like a painful death by drowning in a swamp pit that you led your horse/pet/friend into. Did not expect that to go down.
I just heard an interesting fan theory, that the scene with Artax and the swamp represents being unable to help a friend or family member through depression. That for the friend it can be perplexing (move or you’ll die!), but it’s so hard to do anything for a depressed person in a slump.
Even funnier since I ended up being metaphorical Artax.
My husband has a close friend who’s currently going through a rough patch. We know our Artax will pull through, but it’s going to be hard going for a while. Meanwhile my husband is trying to at least keep in touch.
I watched all that stuff as a kid too, I remember having nightmares for weeks over Children of the Corn. I want to avoid that with my kid and let her choose when to watch that stuff.
Oh, I chose to watch it all. It’s just that my parents allowed it. Lol
Oddly enough, the only thing that I ever remember getting nightmares about was an alien abduction movie called “fire in the Sky” that said it was based on a true story. That one kept me up at night.
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.
Is there kissing?
Some day you may not mind so much.
21 Jump Street. Lighthearted, don’t need to worry about how deep it is or not, but it’s well-written, well-executed comedy, and I’ve already seen it a couple times and know that’s not just nostalgia talking.
I think a general group of adults would get a kick out of it.
Beyond the Valley of the Dolls
If they can’t vibe with that I don’t want them ever coming over again
I’ll be damned, nobody mentioned Lord of the Rings.
Lock the doors and show them the Extended edition, followed by The Hobbit extended edition.
It’s only 20 hours and 18 minutes.
Then we’ll probably get way past 30 hours in total for the extended editions.
My ex roommate made me watch the extended edition after I told him I never actually watched all the movies. I’m not mad at him. It was a weekend well spent.
Love of Tolkien is sadly not universal. I married a heathen that hates Lord of the Rings. 😩
That’s like a mouse not liking cheese.
I came here to say LotR. Whoever doesn’t vibe with LotR doesn’t have a place in my house.
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.
Ya got me, RRR?
I fell for that prank and by god I won’t let anyone else waist so much time for a joke.
If its not a joke, I really dont understand what anyone sees in this movie other than nonsense.
Its not a joke I genuinely enjoyed the movie.
I don’t know, I watched it on a well equipet home theater and had a pretty bad time 🙃
I felt the same when I watched “walk hard a dewey cox story”
That’s why I thought it was a joke.
I randomly stumbled on that movie recently and I agree. What a fucking film. It does 100 things I would hate in an American movie but somehow they pull it all off in a priceless and charming way
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.
Like incest, sexual assault, voyeurism, terrorism, and time paradoxes?
And machine-gunning the Doc.
Right BTTF is well known for glorifying all of these things
Still have to explain them.
Nope. Leaded gas
Just made plans to go to a drive in theatre near me to watch all 3 movies
Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery – because everyone loves a good whodunnit.
The orignal Frankenstein (1931) or Bride of Frankenstein (1935) movies from the Universal Classic Monsters franchise.
Call me old-fashioned.
Ghostbusters.
Pootie Tang.
What’s that phrase he says?
Sah dah tae?

Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers.
Get something so bad that everyone comes together to make fun of it, making the night more fun in general.
The most frequent reasons are that the card isn’t activated, the cashier is performing the wrong transaction and the amount that is charged is greater than the balance on the card or the processing machine for credit cards is increasing the amount of charge to put an order on the card, or to let a gratuity be paid.

UP
Mulholland Drive. Not only is it the best movie ever made, it also has everything: love, romance, crime, horror, humor, action, mystery, …
I can’t stand David Lynch and find nearly every thing he’s made insufferable. I will not be vibing with your choice.
obviously The Holy Mountain
This is the most insane movie 💀
it’s hands down one of the trippiest things I’ve seen
