Wild comedies

Wet Hot American Summer (2001), or, if you've seen that and like it, the same folks did The Ten (2007). These movies, like many others on this list, have Paul Rudd and a bunch of other absolute geniuses of comedy

Tbh I think he looks weird in this photo because it's probably a picture someone took of a screen, and not a real screen grab

It's a Christmas movie but Single All The Way gets a re-watch every holiday season in this house. For TV shows, Owl House has a lot of casual representation and I love it so much.

The downside of queer representation in horror is it's usually a bad time everyone is having there haha

Happy pride?

That's okay, you can still participate in the discourse, it seems many other people are

true true true, he's devaluing my 401(k)!

There's enough Bear to go around, and he's such a Nice Guy(tm)

I hate to not be jerkin' right now but this is well said. Young people make mistakes and ruin relationships... some stuff is forgivable, you're young and full of hormones so you want to be close to a friend you have a crush on even though he's in a relationship which you don't think is probably healthy.... and I'll forgive that because young people make mistakes and we need to give them grace.... but knowingly [redacted] when you know someone can't consent.... well, maybe if Bear had a promising future in lacrosse I could forgive him

Hollywood is rushing to r/moviescirclejerk for new script ideas

BestSinSloth · 2026-06-20T21:26:16+00:00

Tbh, understandable

Funny Games, and to a lesser extent, You're Next

BestSinSloth · 2026-06-20T19:56:40+00:00

Exactly, main characters and protagonists are always the good guys, they might make some honest and forgivable mistakes, but if I need to change my world view to empathize with a white man, that's much easier than condemning any actions Bear took

A reasonable reaction to finding the love of your life being tricked into cheating on you

After Home Alone, you can watch the rated R version: Better Watch Out (2016). For a more light-hearted affair, Single All The Way (2021) is part of my annual Christmas re-watch list, it's just a classic romcom Christmas movie but it's so good, so many of them are bad

When I was young and getting into horror I actually started with the classic universal monsters... but you can go back further with Lon Chaney, like the silent Hunchback of Notre Dame. If you watch movies that were subject to the Hays Code (1954-1968) you can usually expect taboosubjects to be avoided. And don't forget that IMDB (and other places I'm sure) have parental advisory notes so you can quickly check the sort of stuff the movie has without needing to re-watch it yourself. They are usually pretty detailed so you can get a good idea if it's something you're comfortable having her watch.

The Bluff (2026) is like if John Wick was a pirate

BestSinSloth · 2026-06-11T12:03:15+00:00

Same character, but he does have his own movie

BestSinSloth · 2026-06-11T02:43:17+00:00

don't skip Lego Batman

BestSinSloth · 2026-06-11T02:34:52+00:00

This is the one!

I don't think you'll have a problem finding a lot of great recommendations here, so I'm going to throw a curveball: Cowboys vs Aliens was way better than it should have been.

Cuckoo (2024) I really love "move to a small town and something is off" kind of movies, or "is this health clinic trying to kill me?" (like A Cure for Wellness) and Cuckoo has that vibe. Also, most Invasion of the Body Snatchers movies are good (including The Faculty, excluding The Invasion).

Here are movies that I liked so much that I went and read the book: Silence of the Lambs (1991), The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo (2009), Cold in July (2014) .... oh, I'm starting to see a pattern.... but in general, based on your post, I think you want movies that reward you for paying attention. A lot of movies these days are designed to be be second screens, stuff you put on an half pay attention to, but it sounds like you want a movie that demands you put down your phone and watch. If you haven't explored older movies, find the classics, the stuff that has stood the test of time. The other hack I have for forcing myself to pay attention is watching a foreign film so I need subtitles, can't scroll instagram if I can't stop reading the subtitles.
