If you’re like me you find yourself often wanting to watch a good movie but can’t decide what to watch and with so many options streaming it can seem impossible to decide at times.

So this thread is for you to drop suggestions, can be super popular or rarely known, the one criteria is it needs to be a movie you think most would enjoy on a whim, not some nuisance filled art film 1/10 people enjoy.

I’ll start the recommendation with: Minority Report

The town, the departed and Sicario are my “goto’s” when I can’t find anything to watch.

I prefer to go find obscure scifi movies to watch for free on YouTube. Pretty much any one.

Just put on any Jason statham movie and have a grand ole time. You’re guaranteed fun and at least one dead Asian.

Watched 'Parasite' recently, and although I haven't actually seen any of the films it beat out for best picture I think it's probably deserved. I've loved all of Bong Joon-Ho's prior films for their uniqueness and absurdism and this was no exception. The best I've heard it described is as a more perfect version of Snowpiercer. Highly recommended.

LA Confidential...
I'm surprised when I bring it up as one of my favorites and many people have not heard of it or forgot about it.

"Creep." A stellar horror film that I wish I could see again for the first time. I can't recommend "Creep" highly enough. It's a wild, unnerving ride.

"Paddleton." You'll be stunned by what Ray Romano can do in a dramatic role. There's gut-wrenching tension near the end.

Watch both of these films, ASAP.
