We’ve seen most of those. The Mask is a good one we haven’t watched (which reminds me…Roger Rabbit). My son wants to watch Arachnophobia, but my wife does not.
When the women were out of town a few months ago, I showed him Us, Get Out, and Alien.
I think they catch most of the sexual references now. They definitely didn’t in Big or when a ghost undid Ray’s belt in Ghostbusters when we first watched them.
My then tween girls enjoyed Monty Python and the Holy Grail as well as Napoleon Dynamite.
Edit: plus Ferris Bueller, Freaky Friday, Mean Girls, Caddyshack.

All good I would also add Ready Player One to the list, another Spielberg one from 2018 that my daughter and I both liked.
LDO the Harry Potter series of course
Galaxy Quest needs to be on this list if its not.

Would also add Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. The unique animation style and music alone make it worth watching. Also has great acting talent, including the Golden God Nicolas Cage as Spider-Man Noir.
If you watched the Tobey Maguire Spider-Man movies, there are a couple of amazing jokes in the first few minutes, especially if you hated Spider-Man 3.

dammit I still haven’t seen this
Bro it’s good. Real good. Done by Lord and Miller, the guys who successfully rebooted 21 Jump Street and then got fired from Solo: a Star Wars story two weeks before filming would have finished.

Oblivion
8/10
I never got why the Rotten Tomatoes and other reviews gave this such a low score. It’s not like ground breaking or anything, but for me it seemed like a perfectly serviceable sci fi movie.
Shout out to Andrea Riseborough and Olga Kurylenko for both looking beautiful in it.

I’ll second this. It’s a good film.

Spiderman Into the Spider Verse is a lot of fun.
I also absolutely love the first Lego Movie. Way way more than I thought I would.

I lolled hard first time I saw the film at the 1:47 mark. Still cracks me up

Your review gave me the impetus to actually watch this (Tomb Raider), and I agree it was a surprisingly decent bit of adventure nonsense. For anyone else considering it, it has a great bow & arrow vs multiple sub-machine guns fight, which goes as you’d expect (1-0 bow & arrow ldo). Also a solid 20 minutes that’s a shameless rip-off of The Last Crusade. If those aren’t recommendations, what are?
Also, on the sequel, I have no idea if it’s still on, but a quick google suggested bona fide genius Ben Wheatley (Kill List, A Field In England, High-Rise) is doing it. Very exciting news.

I think it’s that after I’d seen it once, it was more predictable than I realized. Doesn’t reward repeat viewings, which is generally a bar a movie must clear for me to like it. Looks great, good music, Tom is Tom, Morgan Freeman is Morgan Freeman. The script and twists aren’t even bad, just seen all of this many times before.
It was weird because it’s based on a philip k dick short story, but I can’t find a reference to that anywhere.
I missed that. Which one?
I can’t remember the title but it’s a story where:
A guy is terraforming a planet after humanity has won a planetary war, only to find out he’s been tricked and is really terraforming earth for the aliens that actually won
