The SO had never seen it. I felt obliged to educate him. But I might kill him in self-isolation if he tells me to get my shine box one more fricking time.

List so far:

Goodfellas
Silver Linings Playbook
The Avengers
Little Women (90s version)

Just watched Jojo Rabbit. It was great, and the cast was awesome. I highly recommend it for those that haven’t seen it.

Just watched Shotcaller based on someone mentioning it.

Holy shite, is that ever a scared straight movie.

Afraid your kid could end up in Prison?

Have him watch that movie. It's like a Saturday Afternoon Special.

Citizen X (1995)

Good movie that most probably missed the first time around or were too young to watch.

Recently watched and think fairly highly of:

John Wick 2 & 3
The Red Pill (Amazon or Youtube) - slightly political but though provoking
Good Omens (Amazon, only one season, easy to binge)
General Magic - documentary on the silicon valley company that made the iphone a decade and a half too soon and failed
Silicon Valley - binged the last season, pretty solid
The New Pope - binged this one last, was a strange use of very good acting talent. I may have missed something but I don't think it fully worked in the way they intended.
