The wife and I have been having a difficult time finding movies worth watching. So I would like to get some recommendations from everyone here.
PS - If there’s a thread like this ready let me know where it is.

What genres do you prefer?
“Madness of King George” …great movie about King George III.
History, drama, sci fi, no super hero stuff (seen too many already).
Serenity, but only after watching the series (single-season ) Firefly. It’ll all feel like one big, wonderful movie that could’ve been longer.
The Conversation, Marathon Man, Day of the Jackal, The Parallax View, and Blow Out are great ones to start with. I’m into thrillers made when the audience had to be spoon fed everything.
Three days of the Condor and one of the all time classics, The Sting. Both great Robert Redford movies…
Top Gun Maverick
The Legend of Sleepy Hollow
Donnie Brasco
Heat
The Others
Dracula (Frank Langella version)
Man of Fire
The Boys from Brazil
Have you watched all the Kubrick and David Lean films? David Lynch? Brian DePalma?
If you’re talking about new releases, they are very slim these days but my friend and I saw Top Gun Maverick and Elvis recently and both were very good.
You can stream a bunch of good films of the past that were actually made to entertain like Godfather I & II, To Kill a Mockingbird and I just recently streamed one of my favorites Giant with Rock Hudson, Liz Taylor and James Dean.
Dr Strangelove is one of the best films I’ve ever seen. So many amazing scenes.
The Coke machine scene makes me laugh every time I see it.
“This is Spinal Tap” goes to eleven every time…
“Name of the Rose” … watch who controls the writing…
Mrs. Doubtfire—I still say Rest In Peace, Robin every time Aerosmith’s Dude Looks Like A Lady comes on the Radio.
Mask with Jim Carey and Cameron Diaz
Bruce Almighty
Strange Brew
Training Day
Casino
Good Fellas
Heat
