Feel-good : The Peanut Butter Falcon

Doc : Summer of Soul (...or, When the Revolution Could Not Be Televised)

Aside from Superman, Star Wars, and Star Trek films… we recently rewatched Wedding Crashers and My Cousin Vinny. Almost forgot how funny those were…

Bonkers: Sorry to Bother You

ljelkins.bsky.social•23 days ago

All my feel-goods target the nostalgia feelings: Star Trek IV, Secret of Nimh, Brave Little Toaster, Roger Rabbit

(though omg, Brave Little Toaster is a _trip_ to watch again as an adult, especially the music)

I also don't THINK 'Sorry to Bother You' will destroy your brain, and we were laughing uncontrollably, but YMMV?? It's a wild trip.

Best in show (for feel good)

I’ve seen that aaaages ago. Time for a rewatch!

The short film "What did Jack do?" on Netflix by the late David Lynch is worth watching for that last category. It's weird!

Sadly a very timely suggestion today. The world lost a truly unique mind!

renggli.bsky.social•42 days ago

Yes, I am a fan of his movies. The suggestion came to mind when I read the news of his passing.

I meant to tell you… I watched “What Did Jack Do?” A few days ago. Loved it. Still thinking about it. I also purchased “Catching the Big Fish” and am loving that even more. So free.

It's a memorable short! And it doesn't get old either. Glad you enjoyed it

Documentary: The Natural History of the Chicken
Bonkers: Marcel the Shell with Shoes On

Awesome! I loved the OG Marcel vignettes. Is the long form movie really worth it? Feels like the joke would get worn out pretty early.
