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

When I'm sad or depressed, I rewatch Inside out (1 or 2) and it puts me in a content and indifferent headspace.

Buckaroo Banzai: Across the Eighth Dimension.

It's the quintessential 80s movie.

[–] Xaphanos@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

As an oldster, I notice that almost all of the movies listed here are more than 20 years old. Most of the cultural references on Lemmy are much more recent than that.

[–] nickiwest@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago
  • Lord of the Rings trilogy
  • The Matrix
  • Dodgeball
  • South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut
  • Best in Show
  • Captain America: The Winter Soldier
  • Pride and Prejudice (2005)
  • Jennifer's Body
  • Die Hard
  • The Cabin in the Woods

No matter what I watch, I get old regardless :(

[–] Legom7@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

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.

White Chicks

Mean Girls

The Devil Wears Prada

The Proposal

I like to shut my brain off and have simple entertainment that doesn’t require much thinking during watching watch time.

My favourite movie of all time is Enemy 2013 and Black Swan but these are movies that go under your skin and everytime I watch them I have to go into spirals of overthinking etc while the above mentioned movies don’t give me that.
