So after watching some random 80s and early 90s movies on HBOMax with my kids, I can now say with confidence that Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead >>> Adventures In Babysitting

That is a GOAT movie. We need a watch party for Don’t Tell Mom.
And holy shit the music is so good!!!
This track from the score instantly mesmerizes me
And Beat Goes Bang covered the definitive version of Draggin the Line, which I am having a devil of a time locating on YouTube :(
On my 2nd try to watch this, 45 mins boring AF, finally something happened
Just watched Gone Baby Gone. That was a mistake in these times.
Not watching that one twice. Great film.

I thought he meant Gone Girl, which I did not care for, but Gone Baby Gone is excellent.
I’ve never seen this series and am always too cheap to rent them. I guess I’d better check them out at some point huh?

All three movies are fantastic
They are amazing.
Watching Airplane again. Never noticed the stewardess making tab+miller high life on the rocks. What a movie.

One of my all time favorites. I feel like it’s appreciated as a modern classic in retrospect, though it wasn’t talked about much when it came out.
We watched The Invisible Man reboot tonight. Surprisingly good. Elisabeth Moss is elite.

Elizabeth Moss is just incredible. It sucks that this movie got released at the worst possible time.

Put on Naked Gun for my 30 year old partner. Held up surprisingly well. You have to be in the mood for Leslie’s cheese but they rapid fire the jokes so fast you’ll find something to enjoy. Fave moment was a few minutes in when I hear “Wait is that OJ Simpson?! He was an actor!?”
Watched Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs with my kids and every single person who made the movie must have been high on something.

I think that was the last or second to last movie I saw in a theater
Watched this last night. I present it as Exhibit B for your description.
Same. Last movie I saw in theaters.
Lol I didn’t notice which post you were all quoting and thought you were saying Cloudy With a Chance of a Meatballs was the last movie you saw in theatres!
If you’re an ironic or non-ironic fan of Zardoz, the director’s commentary may be worth seeking out, or at least the second half of it. Highlights include the director saying “OK, you can just fast-forward through this bit” and Sean Connery getting repeatedly trolled throughout the creation of the film. He hated wearing a wedding dress. He hated that scene at the end where he gets old and turns into a skeleton because it involved hours of him sitting still and a lot of makeup. They had to re-shoot that scene twice because the production team kept fucking up because they were hungover up. The director had difficulty importing guns into Ireland because of The Troubles, but one of the guys on set was an IRA man and he helpfully offered to supply them with weapons for the movie.
