Have a day of data wrangling ahead of me, so am watching movies while I do it.

I have commenced with Twister, and plan to watch Deep Impact after that.

Other suggestions for hilarious and excellent movies to watch?

The Core is an absolute classic

Deep Impact is a masterpiece! What about The Day After Tomorrow?

Edit: if I remember correctly, seeing Deep Impact at the movies was my first ever date with my first ever girlfriend. We held hands, they were cold and sweaty

Edit #2. No it was actually The Day after Tomorrow!

I'm digging the disaster movie vibe. The perfect level of bullshit to follow with as I keep half an eye/brain on my data....

Oh my gosh mine was the day after tomorrow too!

San Andreas would fit the theme.

Sancta Sangre and Hamon Hamon.

[–] melbourne_wanderer@aussie.zone 2 points 8 months ago

Never heard of Sancta Sangre but it is going straight on my list to watch with a mate who I know will just love it! thanks

Armageddon and Independence day.

If you want something more recent, Moonfall is truly. something.

[–] melbourne_wanderer@aussie.zone 3 points 8 months ago

I think with all these suggestions I may have to make Monday a day of data wrangling, too...
