What kind of movies do you like? Or your up for anything?

American Hustle is great. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Hustle

The Intouchables. You’ll like it.

Big Night, available on Netflix.

1983 ok? The Big Chill.

The Power of the Dog

You’ll either love it or hate it. I loved it.

The Banshees of Inisherin

I have seen the Big Chill and used to go to the movies a lot as a teen and in college. It was after that that my viewing fell off. So really 1990 and after would be the recommendations I'm looking for. IIRC, I've wanted to see A Beautiful Mind but never did. I wanted to see Green Book but never did. I did see Hidden Figures and enjoyed it.

Shrek

Recent releases we've enjoyed - CODA and A Man Called Otto. Indi favorites - Amélie, Dean Spanley and Everything is Illuminated.

Dances with Wolves

Silence of the Lambs

The Body Guard

Schindler's List

Philadelphia

Four Weddings and a Funeral

Good Will Hunting

The Truman Show

The Sixth Sense

From 1990-1999. Selected from the highest grossing films of each year that I saw, and got something out of them.

A few of our older favorites to re-watch occasionally: The Princess Bride, Moonstruck, Big Fish,

Do you do Netflicks, Kanopy, or other rental/ streaming source?

Hmmm...maybe I should've set the date later? rob, I've seen all of those but the last 2. I've seen Moonstruck. No, I don't do any streaming services.

I have not seen The Princess Bride, Big Fish, CODA, A Man Called Otto or any indie movies. I have not seen Shrek, Banshees of Insherin, Power of the Dog, Big Night, The Intouchables or American Hustle.

These are great...I can see I'm going to have to build a list.

I've wanted to see A Beautiful Mind but never did. I wanted to see Green Book but never did.

Both were excellent!

A Man Called Otto

Equally as good is the original book adaptation, A Man Called Ove. (Swedish).

Some good picks above. I would add, from the 2000s (and of course all this is dependent on the kind of films you like): The Departed, Almost Famous, The Devil Wears Prada, Catch Me If You Can, Atonement, Finding Nemo, and Amélie.

And another vote for Big Night, one of my all-time favorites.

Queen's Gambit

The Pianist

Almost Famous

Juno

Sideways

Brokeback Mountain

Up

Million Dollar Baby

I was making a Greek dinner the other evening and we were inspired to (again) watch My Big Fat Greek Wedding while eating our dinner on trays. What a great, enjoyable, wonderful, happy movie!

Another great movie is Broken Bridges with Toby Keith, Kelly Preston, Burt Reynolds and cameos with Willie Nelson, BeBe Wyans, etc. Great story and some seriously great music!

More: Hidden Figures; Hook; The DaVinci Code (with Tom Hanks- I love this movie!); De-Lovely (Kevin Kline and Ashley Judd were fantastic in the story about the brilliant and complex Cole Porter); The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel; Bohemian Rhapsody.

We just again watched The Greatest Showman the other night. So well done with Hugh Jackman!

Suggestion to watch A Man Called Ove before the American Otto version.

Lisaam, I agree 100%!

The Ghost and the Darkness

Tombstone (with Val Kilmer in it)

Scent of a Woman

Shining Through

Secondhand Lions

The Gift

Wind River

Dances with Wolves

Robinhood ( Kevin Costner)

Steel Magnolias (the original)

for syfy all the Alien movies and all Predator movies

What Lies Beneath

Gladiator

(boy there was a slim time in movies between 2000-2006, though I love the Pirate and Harry Potter movies, so I was happy)

Hitch

Everyone else loved the Da Vinci Code, but I didn't see it, but I did like Night at the Museum (I like an unseen premise, so if you are more traditional, skip it)

*Kung Fu Panda

*WALL-E

*Up

2000-2009. The last three are animated. I see why you might've dropped off watching movies. There were some slim pickings if you aren't into action/hero movies.

Have you seen Fargo?

I will suggest one action/hero movie-Black Panther

Fargo and anything else by the Coen Brothers or with Frances McDormand.

Also Terry Gilliam's Brazil. For animation try the Toy Story films.

Big Fish was really good.

Some excellent older indie films I discovered during 2020 lockdown and really liked were The Hippopotamus(2017), Toast, Flashbacks Of A Fool, and The Extra Man(2010)

I'll think of more and post later

Why not start with your own list of movies you've never seen? There are some good ones there.

Absolutely, Katlan! Secondhand Lions (a longtime family favorite) and Tombstone! Val Kilmer was fantastic in that movie!

I'm not much of a moviegoer, but I did see and absolutely love "Driving Miss Daisy" with Morgan Freeman and Jessica Tandy, although it might be a bit before your specified timeline.

And "Pretty Woman" with Richard Gere and Julia Roberts is another I really enjoyed.

Rusty

Thank you all for these suggestions...probably easier for me to list the ones in the suggestions I have seen...the rest I have not...

Driving Miss Daisy

Pretty Woman

Fargo

DaVinci Code

Up

Steel Magnolias

Dances With Wolves

Scent of a Woman

A Man Called Ove

My Big Fat Greek Wedding

Hidden Figures

Sideways

Brokeback Mountain

This one is pretty funny. Kevin got a free copy at work, and we both loved it.

We liked this one a lot, directed by Terry Gilliam of Monty Python

I liked this one quite a bit and watched it twice. Directed by Tim Burton

I liked Miss Peregrine's too - it was very well done - an intriguing story too.

If you're OK with family/animated movies, you might enjoy Coraline - which is a movie I have rewatched often and enjoyed every time. The animation is fabulous, and the story is from Neil Gaiman.

Do you ever use IMDB.com? I use it frequently - it has details about just about any movie or TV show you can think of, and all the people who've made them. There are also user reviews there, and links to published ones as well. It's a great resource, when trying to decide what to watch.

We have all of the Harry Potter movies on disc and watch them multiple times, as well as the Lord of the Rings movies - all early 21st Century releases. We also have Thor, as he is my favorite super hero. Spiderman is one of the best, but the Batman and Superman movies are also good. I'm not a fan of action movies in general, but these are worth watching.

I really liked Avatar and Beowulf as well. I particularly like ancient stories, myths, fantasies, and legends, and that might not be an interest of yours.

I've only seen four of the movies that others have recommended so far.

Since 1990 (a mix of genres) in roughly chronological order

• Groundhog Day
• Schindler's List
• Jurassic Park
• Leon, the Professional
• The Usual Suspects
• Lone Star
• The Matrix
• The Sixth Sense
• Fight Club
• Shrek
• The Lives of Others
• V for Vendetta
• Brokeback Mountain
• Lars and the Real Girl
• Zombieland
• Iron Man
• Get Out

If you need a movie on the good in people, may I recommend Mrs Harris Goes to Paris.

84 Charing Cross Road, i love this one.

Crossing Delancey, so sweet.

And for fantasy, Midnight in Paris.

Draft Day and Moneyball. I have little interest in sports but these are excellent movies.

Best in Show. The cast!

Julie and Julia. It’s just fun. and like Best in Show, has Jane Lynch.

Legally Blonde is just so fun.

Sixth Sense!

The Notebook is a favourite as well as The Green Book, about a jazz pianist. Mr Church is also excellent. If you like action, Mr and Mrs Smith with Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt is good.

Did anyone mention Knives Out, and the followup, Glass Onion? Great old-fashioned mysteries.

And Ford vs Ferrari. I would normally stay away from a movie about car racing, but this one is wonderful. Carroll Shelby and the rivalry with Ferrari at LeMans.

Thanks for the reminder, bpath - all the Chris Guest movies are so funny, with great casts! I think A Mighty Wind and Best In Show are my faves.

Of movies I've seen recently, Vengeance is probably my favorite. It's funny, has sort of a surprise ending, and I loved the scenery. (Who knew the desert in Texas was so spectacular!) For an older film, I've seen Bill Murray's The Man Who Knew Too LIttle a few times and it always makes me laugh until I can barely catch my breath. Sometimes I watch clips from it on YouTube as a little pick me up.

The mention of Kevin Kline, above, reminded me of Life as a House - loved it!

Wow, this is a great list! Thanks so much!

Here are a couple more that I thought were excellent.

Hugo https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hugo_(film)

War Horse https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_Horse_(film)
