had a couple of v pleasant movie watching experiences with others and realized I have been missing out on one of life’s utmost pleasures, watching movies in a group setting. to remedy this, I am starting to screen movies on a schedule, two evenings a week, for myself, my neighbors (I live in a small apt complex), and select others to drop in on when they feel like.
seeking recommendations along two lines:
-
What movies have you watched in a group setting that have absolutely killed?
-
Every month will have a theme, and for November the theme is “just to feel” - v emotional movies. Doesn’t have to be super sad, it could be joyful, but preferably not a children’s/family film or an anime (sorry just not my thing, though there are exceptions of course - you can’t do an emotional movies program without Grave of the Fireflies)
First off: hell yeah, it’s great to watch movies in a group setting.
Second off: it’s going to depend entirely on the preferences and vibes of the group. But allow yourselves to vary the genere, and to not get into a rut where you’re watching too many “good” or “bad” movies in a row. We occasionally overindulged in weird B movies, and I put my foot down at one point and asked to watch something actually good.
We kicked off our group watches with RRR, which was a great flick for a group setting.
