Something like Airplane or Clue is always going to be a feel good time.

Hot fuzz, Airplane, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Spiderman Into the Spiderverse, Zombieland, How to train your dragon.
There's more but those are the top ones.
Edit: how did I forget Eurotrip
Yeah I watched How To Train Your Dragon in 3D in VR and it was great, 10/10 movie. The soundtrack is really good too, I've been listening to it quite a bit.
Kung fu Hustle, great soundtrack, great fight choreography, great comedy. One of my all time favourites.
If you're into this, Shaolin Soccer is amazing, too!
Thanks for the recommendation! I'll check it out
It really is! Such a surprise, that movie was.
Conan the Barbarian or Big Trouble in Little China.
Conan the Barbarian is one of my favorite movies ever. Ive watched it at least 7 times. No other fantasy film ive seen has managed to have the vibe of it.
My top three for this would be:
- Scott Pilgrim vs The World
- Snatch
- Shawn of the Dead
I see Starship Troopers mentioned in the comments too, that's a good one. I think I'd also shout out Super Troopers as well. Weird that all these movies start with "S". I guess I like movies that start with S!
Came here to say Scott pilgrim, could watch that movie on repeat it's so good!
- Hellzapoppin (1941)
- It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World (1963)
- A Shot in the Dark (1964)
- The Three Musketeers (1973)
- Flash Gordon (1980)
- Ghostbusters (1984)
- Repo Man (1984)
- Kick-Ass (2010)
Upvote just for Hellzapoppin. The rest is >chef's kiss<.
Starship Troopers!. Would you like to know more?
Even better if you read the book first and completely hate it.
Maybe not worth that though.
It’s easy it be able to enjoy the book and movie as what they each aspire to be and treat them separately.
We’ll never get a movie rendition of the book (which is more than just putting power armor in it), but that’s alright.
If you like the book, I consider it part of the power armor trifecta along with Forever War, and Armor.
For general military scifi I recommend Tactics Of Mistake which is basically the applied Art Of War but in space. There is also Old Man’s War and if you just want power armor schlock, the original series of Halo books are better than they have any right to be.
Pacific Rim
The Karl Urban version of Dredd
Road House
Tropic Thunder
I LOVE Dredd!! Saw some clips of it on youtube which made me curious. I was blown away by the film, and I immediately showed it to all my friends. Great film. Ill try watching Road House, I remember seeing bits of it on tv years ago
- Soapdish
- Monty Python's Life of Brian
- 9 to 5
- What We Do in the Shadows
Kill Bill (2003)
Amélie (2001)
Fargo (1996)
If you like Amelie, try Pushing Daises (tv - sadly it falls apart in later seasons and iirc was cancelled, but nonetheless) and The Brothers Bloom (movie 2008)!
Ah, yes I've heard really good things about pushing Daisies,, def need to check them out ✨
Kill Bill is always controversial when I say it's one of my favorite movies but it's just sooo good!!! I can get why it's not for everyone though
Yes - definitely 💕 I love how colourful and theatrical it is, amazing music, mix of being wacky and silly but with full series dead-pan delivery~
In 2002 I bought a PS2 which came with the Charlie's Angels DVD, and I watched it a thousand times, I feel like it has a similar vibe hehehe
O Brother Where Art Thou
Con air is an amazingly funny movie to watch with friends. You also get to marvel at the ridiculously star studded cast for such a stupid movie.
And anything where Nicolas cage chews scenary with a stupid accent is an instant classic.
Watched that with a bunch of friends one time. What a nuts but entertaining film. Bless John Malkovich for trying so hard in that movie lol
He really does go much harder
I will turn on The Count of Monte Cristo at the slightest provocation. It's just so watchable!
Kung Pow: Enter The Fist
The name's Betty, you son of a pig. The name is Betty.
- Beverley Hills Cop
- Die Hard
- Lethal Weapon
- any Star Wars Movie (yes any)
- Life of Brain
- Starship Troopers
Great list, I'd add Demolition Man. 90's action cheese at its finest.
I would not mind Demolition Man on that list. Now that you are mentioned that movie, there is a distinct lack of Arnold Schwarzenegger on my list! So:
- Total Recall
- True Lies
- Last Action Hero
Ooh, the choice is tough. Am I happy, sad, drunk? Maybe Jaws, possibly Young Frankenstein, is it a Casino day? Probably it’ll be Aliens
It was starting to get pretty long so I chose 5 :)
- Monty Python and the Holy Grail
- The Incredibles
- Fracture
- Red
- Moneyball
Clerks for me.
Gather friends. Watch Birdemic. Profit. :)
Edit: the company is essential for it.
Tropic Thunder, Borat, Kung Pow
I am absolutely head over heels for The Apartment directed by Billy Wilder. It's dated but it's still very funny and touching.
Trying to think back to when I worked in a video store and what me and my mate would chill out to.
Hercules Returns Mystery Science Theater 3000 - The Movie
The Long Kiss Goodnight.
It’s a great movie, and fantastic to introduce to people. How in the world this movie is not more well known is beyond me.
Geena Davis plays Lady Jason Bourne. Samuel L. Jackson is her sidekick, and all the dialog is written by Shane Black (the guy who wrote Lethal Weapon, Nice Guys, and touched up Predator’s dialog).
