The Princess Bride

If you have seen it. You are happy to watch again. If you haven't, you will love it.

If kids are around, probably Howl’s Moving Castle or another Studio Ghibli movie.

If I am gearing for adults, a comedy like Chef where the premise is lighthearted but not a total snooze fest.

[-] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 43 points 6 months ago

another Studio Ghibli

Grave of the Fireflies it is!

The Incredibles or Megamind

Got Superheros? Check.

Got Supervillain? Check.

For kids? Check.

Fun for adult as well? Check.

Non-marvel/DC? Check.

It's perfect.

[-] Landsharkgun@midwest.social 16 points 6 months ago

Megamind. Just Megamind. The Incredibles is good, but Megamind is first class.

Monty Python's Life of Brian.
Whoever doesn't like it can leave.

I prefer the holy grail but life of Brian is also a top movie

Recently had a movie night where we watched Oscar. Only one person (the person that wanted to watch it) had seen it before, but it was their birthday, so we all sat down to watch. It is a fantastic comedy of errors movie with Sylvester Stallone. None of us could believe that we had never even heard of it before, because we all loved it so much, and laughed so frequently. Fantastic movie night movie. I can't recommend it enough.

I know quite a few people who can't stand that movie. Now, that's just, like, their opinion, man.

Shawshank Redemption, for sure. It's not just a masterpiece, it's a masterpiece that has incredibly broad appeal compared to most other great movies.

That's probably the reason why it has been the top rated movie on IMDb for decades even as trends, opinions, and tastes have changed dramatically over the years.

Lock the doors and show them the Extended edition, followed by The Hobbit extended edition.

It's only 20 hours and 18 minutes.

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.

Rocky Horror Picture Show — If they've seen it before they'll still love it, if they hate it they can leave

Raiders of The Lost Ark.

It's a timelessly classic action/adventure movie that anyone can enjoy. It has memorable characters, great set pieces, an interesting story, an incredible score, and Harrison Ford.

I'm surprised I scrolled a decent way through the list and hadn't seen it posted yet.

[-] slumlordthanatos@lemmy.world 16 points 6 months ago

I amar prestar aen.

The world is changed.

Han matho ne nen.

I feel it in the water.

Han mathon ned cae.

I feel it in the earth.

A han noston ned gwilith.

I smell it in the air.

Much that once was is lost, for none now live who remember it.

Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (1971)

Great for kids, and the dry sarcastic humor is great for adults. All around great movie.
