    Clue.

    Sometimes my friends and I just sit around quoting it until we've made it through the entire movie, so maybe there's no point in rewatching it, but we do anyway.

      Hackers. Yes, it's corny - cheesy, even - but it had a great cast with awesome chemistry, and it did a great job at capturing the zeitgeist of hacker/punk culture. Plus so many memorable quotes...

        Buckaroo Banzai: Across the Eighth Dimension.

        It's the quintessential 80s movie.

              Rear windows is such a fantastic film. It surprised me how well it holds up.

                It gets the stoner comedy reputation as the dude is stoned throughout. He's a character in the movie though, not then full tone. That's probably why it's so good. It blends so many genres with an interesting interweaving plot and wonderful dialogue.

                It's a deserved reputation as it's great to watch stoned. Especially when the dude is confused and so are you. Or the psychedelic sequences. However it's also not deserved as it's so much cleverer than that with differen levels. A stoner comedy doesn't normally have a coherent plot and levels.

                Interesting. When my husband suggested we watch it, ages ago really early on in our relationship, I had asked him what category it was. I also asked him just now. Just now he went "Oh that's difficult but broadly speaking it's a comedy". I said "I asked that question of you when you showed it to me like 15 years ago. So you know what you said then?" "No, what did I say then?" "You called it a dark comedy because someone died" (because I was and am sensitive to that) He nodded and said "Makes sense"

                  Moneyball - very good choice.
                  I'd like to add "The Big Short" as well.

                    Liar, liar.

                    Nearly every single line in that movie that Jim Carrey delivers is not only funny but his delivery and antics are a work of art. It's like watching Messi dribble the soccer ball. Cary ewles gets an honorary mention for playing the straightman and absolutely killing it.

                      Evolution.

                      It knows what it is, and nobody in it is under some illusion that they're making some masterpiece of cinema. That is not at all a criticism or even backhanded compliment. I like when the actors have fun with the things they're working on. I mean, who doesn't love seen behind the scenes of Ian Mckellen slapping a dummy of Sean Aston around.

                      It's fun, it's ridiculous, and it leans into it a bit.

                      Plus they came up with the Thanos Weakness a long time before the avengers fans.

                                  When I'm sad or depressed, I rewatch Inside out (1 or 2) and it puts me in a content and indifferent headspace.
