Recommend a film that came out on tape or DVD (if tape I'm sure there's a DVD I can get) so I can get it out at the library

Thanks

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.

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. :heart:
