I would recommend The Fallout 2021 on HBO Max, and The Half of It 2020 on Netflix

Scott pilgrim vs the world! Or the usual suspects.

I'm gonna recommend maybe too many, but hopefully I can give you enough to go on that instead of feeling overwhelmed, you can find one or two that intrigue you: 1 - "Walk Hard" - rockumentary on the life of Dewey Cox. Perfect casting, perfect writing, perfect music. Perfect movie. The cast is stacked and deep but John C Reilly still carries this movie, that's how good he is and how important he is to it; none of the rest would matter if he didn't nail every aspect of this role and he knocks it out of the park. It's crazy how much range and talent he displays; it's a comedy, so it's not crazy that he didn't get nominated for an award much less win, but my god, if you're not going to award Reilly for this performance, why even have acting awards? 2 - "Mr Right" - Action RomCom with the romantic leads played by one of my favorite actors Sam Rockwell at his Rockwelliest. He's opposite Anna Kendrick, which is why I'm surprised this movie seems to have gone as unnoticed as it did. Kind of a spiritual successor to Grosse Pointe Blank (not a lot of Action RomComs). It's fun, Kendrick is the type of character you'd expect from her, Rockwell - as I previously mentioned - gets to be very Rockwell. It's a good time. A bit formulaic, maybe, as most RomComs are (even Action RomComs) but that's kind of the charm, isn't it? It doesn't necessarily surprise you, but it's comforting more than boring. 3 - "A Knight's Tale" - just a really fun movie that doesn't take itself too seriously; it's got heart and is just a fun movie. It's hard to compare a movie to "The Princess Bride", but it definitely has *some elements* of "The Princess Bride", IMO, with regards to being charming and funny. Excellent cast: Heath Ledger and Alan Tudyk (Wash from Firefly); Paul Bettany hamming it up in the best way possible as Chaucer. Lots of fun. (Have you seen it? I think you said you'd seen it, but I'm not remotely confident about that.) 4 - "Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang" - excellent comedy noir starring RDJ and Val Kilmer. Incredible writing/dialogue. Very sharp, witty, funny dialogue; RDJ and Val Kilmer have a great dynamic. It's really fun, some fourth-wall breaking in a pretty unique way. 5 - "Lucky Number Slevin" - another great noir with a powerhouse cast: Josh Hartnett, Bruce Willis, Lucy Liu. A few others that... not really spoilers, but w/e, spoiler adjacent? So I won't spoiler the whole cast. Excellent writing/dialogue as well; not quite as funny as KKBB, it's very clever/witty rather than outright funny. Still a very good movie though (obviously, else I wouldn't recommend it). I might like it better than KKBB, but KKBB is maybe a movie I'd feel safer recommending to you? I feel pretty confident you'd like both, but maybe slightly more confident in KKBB. A few hidden gems: 6 - "Stretch" - a perfect Patrick Wilson vehicle (get it? Vehicle? He's a limo driver. Stretch. You get it.) A few other great actors in it; one is definitely a spoiler, I think, so I'll skip that. A great Jessica Alba performance; she doesn't do a ton but she's great with what she has (she may not be good enough to do more? I'm not sure if she's a great actress; it's hard to tell with the material she's gotten. Or at least that I've seen her in.) Stretch limo driver, has a bad day... I guess you can say it's a spiritual successor to Die Hard? In a way. It's just such a perfect Patrick Wilson role, and the other actor in it is *perfect*; the first time I'd seen him allowed to be really weird (similar to how Brad Pitt and Colin Farrell can be *so* interesting when they're not forced into a stereotypical leading man role). Nobody has heard of it but it's very good. I would kill to have you watch it, but mainly that's just because I have some personal issues I need to work out. Seriously though, I just don't imagine you'll ever get to a movie this unknown; even much more prolific reactors aren't ever going to watch "Stretch", I certainly don't expect you to, only doing one movie a month. 7 - "7 Days in Hell" - a perfect sports documentary. A fascinating look at one of the most grueling tennis match in history. You definitely don't have to be a sports fan to enjoy it - I am, but not at all a tennis fan; it's just a great movie. Highly recommended. Great, great characters, really fascinating story... but again, it's a movie nobody seems to have heard of, and something tells me you are incredibly unlikely to watch a sports movie, much less a sports movie nobody knows about. But I like it so much I'll recommend it anyway.

I would recommend Fight Club. Also, if you are up for a new TV series, I like Doom Patrol. :)

Les Reece

Boondock Saints, it won an academy award for best movie ever made

Will

Jojo Rabbit! Surprisingly brilliant movie with Taika Waititi, Scarlett Johansson and Sam Rockwell.

Colum Lennon

I recommend Airplane! It's just stupid funny

Erik johnson

The usual suspect, crazy twists.

Krazy Karl

From 1979: The In-Laws, with Peter Falk and Alan Arkin. Very underrated comedy gold, but make sure it's the 1979 version, not the new version. Also, from 1976: Murder By Death, another almost unknown classic.

Thomas Yanez

Probably better saved for Halloween-y reactions, but "The Thing" (1982) and "An American Werewolf in London".
