What film should I watch tonight?

Not too scary, not too tricky to follow, possibly funny (but not teen/ American Pie wanking joke type funny). Probably recent rather than a ‘classic’.

Have you seen Dinner for Schmucks? It’s funny and really entertaining.
I didn’t think I would like it but I enjoyed it enormously and it the added bonus of Paul Rudd.
It’s on Netflix.

The Favourite?

Game Night was good. Watched that the other week.

If you have netflix, Captain Fantastic is quite good and was easy to follow with some funny bits.

isseywith4vampirecats · 19/09/2020 12:20

the night at the museum films are good

I thought the wrong missy on Netflix was hilarious. I am easily amused though lol

SebastianTheCrab · 19/09/2020 12:41

Knives Out on Amazon Prime is brilliant. Watched it the other week. Old school murder mystery (not gory at all) with an amazing cast.

Die Hard - it'll put you in the mood for Christmas 🎄 Xmas Grin

GazingAndGrazing · 19/09/2020 12:51

The call on Netflix, not funny but brilliant

SummerHouse · 19/09/2020 12:56

The new Jumanji films are great. Can we also talk food. Chocolate raisins and peanuts gets my vote.

FourEyesGood · 19/09/2020 13:08

Seconding ‘Knives Out’. It’s funny, beautifully shot and a nice blend of predictable and twisty.

longtompot · 19/09/2020 13:09

Another vote for Game Night. Hilarious film.

The new Jumanjis are really great fun to watch too.

We watched The Old Guard last night and that was good. A lot of action, some ouchie closeup scenes.

Jenniferturkington · 19/09/2020 13:31

Thanks for the suggestions. I’ve seen Knives Out and really enjoyed it!

Die Hard is not a Christmas Film  [angry]@pussycatinboots

MrsMaglev · 19/09/2020 13:49

Game night is brilliant!!

ifiwasascent · 19/09/2020 13:49

@pimble die hard is most definitely a Christmas film! A simple favour is brilliant. Following as I'm also on the hunt for a film tonight!

EmmaStone · 19/09/2020 13:51

On the Basis of Sex. About Ruth Bader Ginsburg, starring Felicity Jones. Fitting given her passing yesterday.

TastelessBracelets · 19/09/2020 14:04

What We Did On Our Holidays
Mall Cop (no, don't)
Hunt for the Wilderpeople

OhYouBadBadKitten · 19/09/2020 14:09

If you don't mind fake gore, then I'd recommend 'what we do in the shadows' the film version on prime. It's a very funny (well I thought so) vampire mockumentary.

OhYouBadBadKitten · 19/09/2020 14:10

I loved the Eurovision Fire Saga too.

Whohasnickedmyvodka · 19/09/2020 14:11

Project x very funny

cloudjumper · 19/09/2020 14:19

The Greatest Showman
Steel Magnolias
Despicable Me

Jenniferturkington · 19/09/2020 14:33

Ah yes, Eurovision was funny in a ‘so bad’ sort of a way!

Get hard

Will Ferrell and Kevin Hart.

I liked What we did on our holiday more than I thought I would. Funny and bittersweet, and just a good British film.
