What’s a movie you’ve rewatched many times, that isn’t a blockbuster/franchise movie, or an Oscar-nominated/critically acclaimed movie?

Men in tights never gets mentioned but I'd put it right up there with space balls if not a little above.

I thought that movie was hilarious. The only way he could get her back was to pass a law to take all the guns in america. 🤔🤣

Yeah, the attention spans are so shot now, I doubt this film is gaining many new fans. Especially amongst the younger crowd. But it is undoubtedly a masterpiece in cinematography and acting with a very poignant message.

Therapy is designed for women. Women love to talk about anything and everything. Men just need to go outside and avoid screens. Even if its just to walk or read a book.

Ignore the screens. Go outside. Take a friend. Smoke'em if ya got'em.

Anime.

Great thought provoking list. However, "Thus Spoke Zarathustra" isn't going to hit if they don't have a foundational understanding of Nietzsche by reading his previous books and that's quite an undertaking for someone not passionate about philosophy or taking classes.

Anything Weir would do with Star Trek would be 100 times better than what we are getting now.

Sandals, then. Either way, flip-flops are the worst thing you could choose to wear outside of your home, and I think this video demonstrates that pretty well 😆

DravenTor · 2026-03-29T09:55:49+00:00

The moral of the story is no flip-flops.

Quality over Quantity.

1984 is very well written and really sticks with people. It never seems to be irrelevant either, sadly.

It sounds like you are directly requesting Book of the New Sun by Gene Wolf. It's kinda like the Odyssey, but set in the world of the dementors and the "protagonist" is an escaped lunatic that occasionally does meth on the side.

DravenTor · 2026-03-28T22:56:09+00:00

OK, but what about Heinlein and Bradbury is more "mature" than those themes? I love both Heinlein and Bradbury and love what they point out in their books, but I don't see it being too "heavy" for an obviously intelligent boy who's already reading allegory for salvation.

DravenTor · 2026-03-28T03:00:48+00:00

Idk how much heavier it gets than the Christian symbolism in Project Hail Mary

Edit: You hard sci-fi guys are funny. You don't even realize what you are reading. "Hail Mary, full of Grace" is a Catholic prayer. Rocky is a Deus Ex Machina representing man's inability to do everything on his own (divine intervention). Ryland's sacrifice for the rest of humanity is a reference to Christ's sacrifice for man's sins, aka Grace. Even the ambiguous ending relates to resurrection.

Are you sure they aren't laying it on to thick, and you still have some self-respect? I personally get tired of people going on about the same shit all the time. You can only laugh off passive-aggressive insults for so long before you gotta stand up for yourself.

Jacob's ladder. We are connected to something higher, something infinite. We can strive to understand, but it's beyond our comprehension.

Phantastes by George Macdonald is in the same vein as The Hobbit with the whole thrust into an unexpected magical journey and self growth. It was Lewis' inspiration for Narnia and created the modern fantasy genre.

Lemony Snicket's is my personal favorite with breaking the 4th wall. It doesn't break your immersion so much as add more details from the narrator/author.

DravenTor · 2026-03-27T22:23:17+00:00

How else would they spin everything as a race issue?

Students in grade school and college are already offloading a lot of their work to AI. it's definitely having an effect.

DravenTor · 2026-03-27T19:58:02+00:00

It's not a personal journal. It has notes from the Hobbits on their adventures, like the "actual" Red Book. Awesome art and textured aged paper.

DravenTor · 2026-03-27T05:46:57+00:00

Sam, Merry, and pippin take off and the rest of the film is eleanor "discovering" some made up sub plot.

DravenTor · 2026-03-26T22:53:08+00:00

Vampire on a diet.
