I’d recommend asking this over at !moviesuggestions@lemmy.world.

As for my answer:

• The Departed
• Parasite
• Django Unchained
• The Princess Bride
• Arrival
• The Intouchables
• Ben-Hur (1959 version)
• Fargo
• Amadeus
• Little Miss Sunshine
• The Matrix

There are more, but that’s a solid selection IMO.

I’m gonna categorize things, as that’s how I would want to see my info while planning. These are just in order of how they came to me and not of importance.

Comfort

1. Pillows: Sure, hotels and motels have pillows for you, but you have to be there to use them. I recommend everyone bring at least one pillow. If you have room or a demand, bring more than one. Being able to nap or just get a bit more comfortable in the car goes a long way.

2. At Least One Pair of Lightweight Footwear: Comfort is important while on a trip. You want to be able to have something to wear while you’re just moving in and out of the car, hotel/motel, or even walking around most indoor attractions. Breathability and lack of weight can help keep people from dropping down into “grumpy pants territory,” while on your trip.

Safety

1. Emergency Kit: It is crucial that you have one of these in your car. You want to be prepared for the worst of things and hope you don’t have to use it. Nearly all of them have these stample items in them:

• Emergency Water: The American Red Cross says that you should pack 1 gallon of water per person, per day.
• Emergency Food: Non-perishable and easy to prepare items. Since it’s just a road trip, you can keep the freeze dried food packs at home. But think about how much of the non-perishable foods you would need for each person to survive for three days if you got caught in a storm or disaster.
• Durable Flashlight: A good flashlight should last you over a decade of use. A lot of people (and myself included,) recommend a highly recommended headlamp. Think durable camping headlamp or flashlight when searching.
• Extra Batteries: Batteries are needed for a lot of things, such as your headlamp or flashlight. Just be mindful to cycle them out of your Emergency Kit every few years as they use their charge over time.
• First Aid Kit: An absolute have. The American Red Cross sells a variety of First Aid Kits on their website store. Of course, you could make your own or get it from elsewhere, but the list of content in the kit is something to go off of while choosing/making yours.
• SPF 30-50 Sunscreen: It’s never a bad idea to have a bottle of SPF 30-50 sunscreen in your car and/or in a travel bag. Even if it’s cold out or winter time, the sun’s UVs are still out. And that’s what you want to block long exposure to. Turns out, SPF 15 blocks 93% of UVB rays, SPF 30, 97% and SPF 50 blocks 98%.

2. Tools and Items:

• Multi-Purpose Tool: Better to have one and not use it, than it is to need it and not have one.
• Emergency Blanket(s) (aka Space Blanket): This is a great thing to have in your car or with you while camping as it’s low-weight, low-bulk, and heat-reflective. “Their design reduces the heat loss in a person’s body, which would otherwise occur quickly due to thermal radiation, water evaporation, or convection.”
• Water Purifier: It didn’t seem like it, but if you ever go backpacking more than a few hours away from civilization, I recommend getting a water purifier stick. Do your research. There are plenty of low quality ones out there.
• Tire Repair Kit: Most cars have one, but if you don’t, get one suitable for your car. It’s best if you have learned how to fix a tire on your car before you’re out there. I wise tip I learned from online, was to keep a large section of cardboard folded and put it in your car. You can use it as a mat to keep your tools and body heat from being lost and your clothing from getting dirty. An alternative to this would be to have AAA or something similar, where you could call them to come out and fix it for you.
• Plastic bag(s): It’s wise to have a few of them while on a trip as you can use them for loose trash, organizers, dirty clothing/shoes, etc.

Trip Planning

1. Map it Out:

• Trip Planner: There are plenty of websites that can greatly help you plan your trip by mapping it out, giving suggestions of places and things to do, and often general info about the area. I’d recommend checking out several and see if they help you out any.
• Gas Price Finder There are several websites or apps that offer updates to gas prices by location. Some even offer a trip planner to assist in this. And while it’s not gonna have you saving enough to go see your favorite band/artist in the fancy seats, it will at least help you not spend so much during your trip.

I can’t help but think that a toddler wrote this comment. As if to say, ‘If you don’t have snacks, then why go on the trip. And if you don’t have a good selection of snacks, I’m not going.’ xD

But in all seriousness, having healthy snacks like a few bananas, trail mix, plain or low salted nuts, and some deli meat sandwiches, all stored in a cool with 3-5 ice packs, is very wise.

Adding to this. Even if you’re not in the pictures, take them. Psychologically, pictures can ‘jog’ our memory and bring forth details, emotions, etc. that we experienced during and around that time.

I found this to be a good read on the topic. https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/longing-for-nostalgia/202401/looking-at-your-photos-can-be-uplifting-enlightening-or?msockid=05ea5f1c09a3646b2d67494a085b656b

MAKE SURE YOU BACK THEM UP! I can’t stress this enough. Those memories can be lost forever if you’re not careful and set up and use an image backup system of some kind. And please, please, please. Don’t just save them to one device.

Long story short: A good friend of mine and his parents would periodically take photos of us while we were over there gaming, hanging out, and celebrating things over the years. Unbeknownst to us, our friend was only saving them to his laptop. Nowhere else. Not even to an email account. So when one of his ‘newly’ made “friends” borrowed his laptop to make some music on it. It went missing for over two months and my friend tried many times to get a hold of this dude to get it back. Finally, my friend got hold of him and just begged for him to just let him grab all of the images and irreplaceable things from it. My friend didn’t care about the monetary loss. He just wanted those photos back. The dude told him that he had pawned it a few weeks ago. It was gone. Nothing to do and nothing to save. Years of us having game nights, hanging out, and celebrating a few birthdays… gone forever. So… BACK, UP, YOUR, PHOTOS!

You deserve this for your comment.

Thumbnail:

It sadly does not. IIRC: lemmy.world devs removed this function a few updates ago because it was using up a lot of server CPU. I’d like for them to resolve it in the next update.

It relates to the video that OP shared here. It’s the thumbnail of the video.

I’d like to see more videos posted with their thumbnails on Lemmy. So I periodically comment on videos that don’t have them yet.

Here is the video’s thumbnail.

I use an Extension called vidIQ to find and use the video thumbnail easily. The current thumbnail will be shown just below the video view count, on the right hand side on PC.
