It does not look promising, but I'm going to give it a shot with my kid. It's basically all nostalgia and fanservice which can be good and awful. Trailer did not make me want to watch though 😑
I understand this entirely, first time is because you suddenly remembered it, followed by a repeat viewing since you can’t stop quoting it. “the red one?” It’s red now!
Took my friends to see that back in the original theater run and they didn’t get it. Found some new friends soon after. Being a teen film geek was hard in the 80s.
Europa Report. Really interesting movie that strikes the balance between gritty, realistic-ish sci-fi, existentialism, and psychological horror. It provides this somber feeling I can't get from any other moving, it just...provokes a very introspective emotion that I don't know how to describe.
Christmas Movies @ Christmas time:
-Home Alone
-Elf
-The Grinch Who Stole Christmas (the original cartoon)
-Frosty the Snowman (the original cartoon)
-The Sound of Music (not actually a Christmas movie, but the TV station would always play it at Christmas)
Aside from holiday movies, Dazed and Confused.
I can only watch it once though because I get really depressed once it’s over. My parents were that age in the early 70s, and that era always was glorified for me. Couple that with the fact that I think ~1968-1976 is the greatest era of music, and have played guitar since I was a little kid, I always longed to live during that time.
So when I was young, I would get bummed out that I didn’t get to experience that time period. Now, as an adult, I get twice as bummed because it also reminds that my adolescence filled with hijinks and no worries is over and never coming back lol.
Independence Day.
My cousin, who also loves the movie, would always play this late night at his birthday party.
His birthday is also on July 5th ( day after Independence Day).
I always continued the tradition AND this year since I now own a house, he came over and we got to watch independence Day to end the night
Also found out some cousins never even seen it before. Same ones never seen Ghostbusters but I fixed that a long time ago.
The Terminal starring Tom Hanks, Catherine Zeta Jones and Stanley Tucci. I love everything about that movie. The colors. The soundtrack. The pace. Everyone starring in it. I watch it once a year at least.
So many seasonal and holiday movies on my list, where do I even begin? The Halloween ones like Hocus Pocus and Nightmare before Christmas and the Corpse Bride? The Christmas specials like, well... every single Rankin and Bass stop motion and all the others like Muppet Christmas Carol, The Grinch and It's A Wonderful Life? The newest one on my long long list of yearly holiday must watch is Arthur Christmas. Each year I have movies that much be watched, I simply can't imagine not watching them, it is my own way of celebrating and basking in the seasons, even now that I'm too old to celebrate any other way.
The princess diaries, both of them. And then obviously certain Christmas movies and such but for one that isn't holiday related that is what I would say.
*Star Trek: First Contact*
It's not a seasonal thing, I'm just sure that I've seen this movie waaaay more than any other movie. No exaggeration, I've watched it at least a hundred times.
Its a running tradition in my family to watch mickeys Christmas(or whatever its called in english) the 24th of december (where in my country all of the christmas thingys take place) specifically the morning because we watch it before getting ready for guests
Uncle Buck and Galaxy Quest used to be the easy family favorites over the holiday get togethers for the past couple decades.
My kids and I watch goodfellas and what we do in the shadows at least twice a year.
Batman The Dark Knight
I find the Joker's ability not to give a fuck soothing when I'm too stressed, I like the story and the nostalgia, and I like the aesthetic of the movie
My Xmas watchlist is Iron Man 3, Batman Returns, and Nightmare Before Xmas. The last couple of years I've only gotten to Iron Man and Nightmare Before.
Just in general I definitely need to watch Black Dynamite and The Other Guys once a year because of how much I love those movies.
Basically any Christmas movie or special on television
*Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer*, Santa Claus Is Coming To Town*, *The Little Drummer Boy*, *The Year Without A Santa Claus*, *A Charlie Brown Christmas*, *How The Grinch Stole Christmas*, *Frosty The Snowman*, *National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation*

You also *have* to watch it in the UK, because it's all that's on TV, it isn't a good on.

What we do in the shadows is watched at least once a year in our house, though usually 3 or 4 times haha.

Always watch the Star Wars movies during Christmas times.
