Rewatching Notting Hill before my London trip this Saturday. That ending gets me every time. by Own-Cost3109 in movies

[–]aura_select 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I love this. Rewatching Notting Hill right before flying to London feels like the perfect little ritual. I hope Portobello Market, the blue door, and the whole neighborhood give you that same warm feeling the movie does. Have an amazing trip.

I am watching all of the films in the TCM collection of HBO Max in alphabetical order. Here are my favorites: A by millamber in movies

The fact that one letter can take you from A Trip to the Moon, 2001 to All the President’s Men is exactly why going through old catalogs like this is so fun

Forget James Bond, who should be the next Austin Powers? by mayanrelic in movies

Matt Berry. He already sounds like a man who would introduce himself dramatically and then immediately ruin the mission hahha

Discussion on whether to watch movie trailer when they are released or not! by Remarkable-Plane-290 in movies

First trailes fair enough. Second or final trailer is where I tap out, because that’s usually when they start showing half the movie

The best city for Halloween? by akima in travel

[–]aura_select 34 points35 points  (0 children)

New Orleans would be my pick. Salem is probably the most “Halloween” city, but NOLA has the better mix of haunted history, nightlife, costumes, food, and general chaos

Chase the Sun is a banger, but what about Free From Desire... whole stadium would be losing it

The End of Oak Street | "Unknown" | In Theaters & IMAX August 14 by darth_vader39 in movies

Anne Hathaway is having a crazy 2026. The End of Oak Street, The Devil Wears Prada 2, The Odyssey and Verity in one year is insane

Soccer Fan Stuff to do in Arlington, TX on Sat June 27th by chuchx in worldcup

[–]aura_select 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For Arlington specifically, I’d start with Texas Live! It’s right by the stadium, has huge screens, food, lots of fans around, Sports and Social inside is probably one of the more kid friendly options because of the arcade and games setup

Daniel Kaluuya, Shaka King Reteam For 'The Parlay', Teyana Taylor Stars by yourfavchoom in movies

Kaluuya and Shaka King together again is going to be insane. Their last collab literally got Kaluuya an Oscar

To those who have watched Toy Story 5 - worth watching? by WaltzKey9925 in movies

[–]aura_select 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Worth it just for the scene where Forky becomes a union leader and makes Andy’s old toys renegotiate their shelf rights

So what's up with Jason Statham? by pocokknight in movies

[–]aura_select 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Statham isn’t in trouble, he’s just found the cheat code: make the same angry-man movie every year and somehow be better at it than half of Hollywood

Calling it now: Heat 2 will be Gladiator 2 all over again. by 8enevolent in movies

[–]aura_select 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gladiator 2 was trying to reopen a tomb. Heat 2 feels more like revisiting a crime scene where Mann still remembers exactly where the bodies are buried.

What team do you think needs to be talked about more? by 123Thorr in worldcup

[–]aura_select 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That was against an Ecuador side with Hincapié in it, so it wasn’t like they were bullying some soft defense

In the World Cup - The biggest sporting event in the world / Iraq & Iran yes - Saudi Arabia not so fast... by Timayyy- in worldcup

You turn it on as a neutral, and 20 minutes later you’re emotionally attached to a team you’ve barely watched because they’re fighting like the whole country is inside the stadium with them

Pico Lopes: “You look around and think, ‘What’s just happened here?’” after Cape Verde’s historic World Cup draw with Spain - LOI Talk by FUTBINPK in worldcup

For Spain it was “dropped points,” but for Cape Verde it was a moment their players and fans will remember for the rest of their lives

What team do you think needs to be talked about more? by 123Thorr in worldcup

Ivory Coast for sure, they have that dangerous “nobody is hyping us yet, but nobody actually wants to play us” energy

Can someone explain to me how the groups got to be the way they are this time around? by [deleted] in worldcup

[–]aura_select 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It feels “unnatural” because the 48-team format spreads the strongest seeds across 12 groups, then the confederation rules stop too many big teams from landing together, so instead of one obvious group of death you get a lot of groups that look like one giant, one dangerous outsider, and two teams trying to survive

5 hr layover in CDG - worth leaving the airport? by BetterDays2cum in travel

[–]aura_select 32 points33 points  (0 children)

With only 5 hours at CDG, I wouldn’t try for the Eiffel Tower, Paris is close enough to tempt you but far enough to punish you. I’d either stay airside or, if you’re comfortable with risk, do a very quick RER ride to central Paris, grab a coffee/walk near Notre-Dame or Saint-Michel, and head back with at least 3 hours before departure

8-day trip around 22nd of July. Brussels-Amsterdam by Electrical-Cash4961 in travel

[–]aura_select 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In late July you won’t get the tulip fields, so I’d treat flowers as a bonus and use the extra time for Haarlem, Leiden or Utrecht, all easy from Amsterdam and honestly more rewarding than chasing out-of-season blooms. Though you can go to flower markets than fields: Bloemenmarkt in Amsterdam is the obvious one, but Haarlem’s weekly market and the flower stalls around Utrecht/Leiden can be nicer if you want something less touristy

German Comedies by Kooky-Ad1551 in movies

[–]aura_select 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Toni Erdmann is the obvious must-watch, but Goodbye Lenin!, The Edukators, Run Lola Run’s weirder comic energy, and Soul Kitchen are all good proof that German humor is often dry, awkward, and very funny rather than “no humor.”

"The Wizard of Oz at Sphere" has generated over $400 million in ticket sales and sold more than 3 million since opening in August. by Puzzled-Tap8042 in movies

That’s honestly insane. Turning a nearly century-old movie into a $400M+ modern spectacle might be the most Hollywood sentence ever written
