Today is the first day of our holidays. Tomorrow we pack to go to Germany. We're trying to get the baby to sleep since 8pm, now it's 11pm and it looks like he will fall asleep soon.

We could watch some movie on Netflix which is not too long, like 1.5 hours. Which movie do you recommend?

Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves.

Yes, this one will likely be so much more fun than you are expecting. I loved it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Truly recommend this, fun and touching.

I wasn't expecting much but really was one of my fave films of the year.

LOTR extended edition, any or all of them

[–] Syll 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Didn't read the time piece. Super Mario Brothers movie is pretty good

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

Already seen it with the older daughter, it was pretty good.

So? You only watch good movies once...?

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago

Yes? Actually I only watch any movies once.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

In the end the baby fell asleep at 11:30 pm so there was no time for any movie left, we fell asleep exhausted. But we downloaded some of your suggestions so perhaps one of us will have time to watch something on the plane.

Thanks for engaging and giving so many different tips!

Does Netflix have The Man From Earth?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Sadly no, I guess I'd need to find it somewhere at the seven seas.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Try movie-web.app

[–] LazaroFilm 1 points 1 year ago

To find where a certain movie is available I use Just Watch

If you're sailing anyways...
Moon with Sam Rockwell
Midsommar
What we do in the Shadows (the original movie, not saying the tv series is bad)

For "seasonal appropriate" - White Christmas
For "silly appropriate" - Any of the old "Road To" movies.

This is spinal tap, Metallica's some kind of monster or This is Anvil.

It's the same film, one is a mocumentary, the other is an unintentional comedy because no one is self aware, and the other is a self aware comedy documentary.

All three? Damn, you've got good taste

[–] MargotRobbie 4 points 1 year ago

I heard Barbie is pretty good. It's only 2 hours, and it premieres on HBO Max today.

We'we already seen it.

[–] Markimus 3 points 1 year ago

In the Tall Grass is very good, though it's 1h 41m

Palm Springs

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

how are you traveling? snakes on a plane; airplane!; speed; planes, trains and automobiles; air force one; pelham 123..., all good 'pre-trip' movies, and each worthy of a re-watch.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

8-Bit Christmas is, in my opinion, an instant classic. A lot of people still haven't seen it since it's pretty new, but definitely worth a watch.

You could watch Pitch Black (not sure if it's on Netflix). Vin Diesel kills it as the main character

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Probably too late, but I recommend Klaus on Netflix.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

The Yugoslavian film Underground, if you can find it. Hilarious and heartbreaking by turns, with a splash of Magical Realism.
