I could watch the first three Captain America movies back-to-back-to-back at the drop of a hat. Not gonna include the fourth one.

I love watching the Barbie Movies (the early 2000s CGI ones), especially when I'm sick.

Bottle Rocket (1996)

Early Wes Anderson movie has such a good vibe and always seems just what I needed when I put it on…

The Thing (1982)

It’s my favorite movie of all time and I watch it every October.

[–] Drusas@fedia.io 5 points 19 hours ago

I watched this for the umpteenth time just last night! Always a good one.

Constantine Matrix ... I do love Keanu, but I don't care for his latest movies much.

Alien

Aliens

Too bad they didn't make any more of them.

[–] dditty@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 7 hours ago

Yup really glad they never Resurrected the franchise

[–] BlameTheAntifa@lemmy.world 4 points 20 hours ago

Romulus is better than it has any right to be. The Alien 3 “Assembly Cut” is also decent. Not good, but not awful.

THE Suicide squad. It was so good that Tim Gunn earned the right to be boss of the DCU, and has proved it again and again.

[–] lemmyng@piefed.ca 29 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Hackers. Yes, it's corny - cheesy, even - but it had a great cast with awesome chemistry, and it did a great job at capturing the zeitgeist of hacker/punk culture. Plus so many memorable quotes...

[–] SynAcker@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 18 hours ago

You are forgetting the soundtrack! Its still amazing and slaps!

Coen Bros. films.

[–] Doubleohdonut@lemmy.ca 74 points 1 day ago (9 children)

The Big Lebowski. Simultaneously ridiculous and incredibly sophisticated. People who think its "just" a stoner comedy may have some more viewings to go 🙂

Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man.

Idiocracy

There’s something about that close-to-home dystopian outlook that calms me. Now go away, I’m batin’!

Liar, liar.

Nearly every single line in that movie that Jim Carrey delivers is not only funny but his delivery and antics are a work of art. It's like watching Messi dribble the soccer ball. Cary ewles gets an honorary mention for playing the straightman and absolutely killing it.
