    The Incredibles or Megamind

    Got Superheros? Check.

    Got Supervillain? Check.

    For kids? Check.

    Fun for adult as well? Check.

    Non-marvel/DC? Check.

    It’s perfect.

            Correct. In my opinion, Megamind relies a bit too much on the humor, which is still pretty great and holds up however many years later.

            But Incredibles relies more on the story and dynamics of the family, and imo will hold up through time a bit better for that.

            I love both though.

    Raiders of The Lost Ark.

    It’s a timelessly classic action/adventure movie that anyone can enjoy. It has memorable characters, great set pieces, an interesting story, an incredible score, and Harrison Ford.

    I’m surprised I scrolled a decent way through the list and hadn’t seen it posted yet.

        Because it’s dated. People have a hard time watching movies filmed on older technologies

            It was made then. Doesn’t mean it holds up as well.

            Look at both the robin hood movies released the same year.

            Uma thurmans looks like shite, kevin costners holds up a lot better

                Are you saying Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio was not a good maod marion? Or that Alan Rickman should have played Robin Hood?

                Rickmans Sheriff would be a tragedy not to have. But Mary was a better actress for the role in PoT. Uma would have been completely miss cast for that script

                Just trying to understand your vision

                  I liked Uma’s Maid Marion and Rickman as the Sheriff.

                  I can see Rickman playing Robin as a harrassed executive, with Jack Black as an overly imaginative bard who comes up with the laughing and swaggering schtick.

                  If you want a really off the wall version, try ‘Robin And Marion’ with Sean Connery and Audrey Hepburn. I particularly enjoyed Connery and Robert Shaw having a rematch after their ‘From Russia With Love’ fight.

    Recently had a movie night where we watched Oscar. Only one person (the person that wanted to watch it) had seen it before, but it was their birthday, so we all sat down to watch. It is a fantastic comedy of errors movie with Sylvester Stallone. None of us could believe that we had never even heard of it before, because we all loved it so much, and laughed so frequently. Fantastic movie night movie. I can’t recommend it enough.

    Harry Potter. It’s a good movie, everyone know about it. It has some family friendly themes, with some action, romance, fantasy, and since people know about it it’s easy to immerse yourself in the story or just pick up if you miss a part (for bathroom or kitchen breaks) it’s fun to watch sober or high.
