I watched Jean de Florette part 1 and 2 back in the 1980's. I really liked them.

Without knowing your preferences my list necessarily reflects my preferences. Of the movies I've cited on the What movies have you seen recently? thread this year, I think the following are the ones I would "inflict" on an audience I was trying really hard to entertain:

○ The Accountant [2016] About an unlikely but authentic Autistic.
○ Alien [1979] & Aliens [1992] The entire Predator/Alien franchise has merit but these are likely the best.
○ Beetlejuice [1988] & Beetlejuice Beetlejuice [2024]
○ Black Sheep [2006]
○ Chappie [2015]
○ Coco [2017]
○ Diani & Devine Meet the Apocalypse [2016]
○ District 9 [2009]
○ Edge of Tomorrow [2014]
○ Ex Machina [2014]
○ Juan of the Dead [2011]
○ Kong: Skull Island [2017] The entire MonsterVerse franchise is very good but this stands out, I think.
○ Kung Fu Hustle [2004] The post lists two films, I only recommend the second.
○ Machete [2010] & Machete Kills [2013]
○ Mars Express [2023]
○ The Monolith Monsters [1957]
○ The Munsters [2022]
○ 30 Nights of Paranormal Activity with the Devil Inside the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo [2013]
○ The Quiet Earth [1985]
○ Watchmen [2009] Do not judge solely on the first half—polish increases as it moves toward its present.
○ The Zero Theorem [2013]

All are on disk in our collection.

Akira

The Lighthouse

Frisco Jenny

The Witch

People on Wrong Planet, if they are on the spectrum, ought to give "Keep the Change" a shot. It about two Aspie's that date in NYC. It is just the best movie ever.

Wicked (2024)

I usually hate musicals, but this one was really really epic.
