Movies The thread that helps one choose a movie to watch

[Kimchii]

Happy Sunday!

Have you middle-aged people with jobs and families found a hole in your busy everyday life? A hole where you can be completely alone for a couple of hours and just laze around and watch a movie without interruption?

This thread would be about us together helping the needy choose a movie to watch. The problem for me is that I don't know what I want to choose myself as there are far too many films and series in circulation that it makes me dizzy.

I thought the choice should be between 3 films. 3 choices that are presented with a picture of the cover. The covers should be about the same size (about 400 pixels in height) as the selections I will post now, just to make this thread reasonably orderly and pleasant to look through.

Then I start with 3 choices that I'm curious about, but only have time for one.

1. Farang (2023)

2. Longlegs (2024)

3. Knox Goes Away (2023)

2 girls, 1 cup.

Until you've watched that, the rest is insignificant.

Just don't. Don't.

I think I saw a bit of it when I was young. There was a bit of a documentary style to it like Trailer Park boys?

Longlegs sucked

I want to know as little as possible about the film, but I have read on a couple of occasions that it is overrated and that you should lower your expectations as it is not a new The Silence of the Lambs.

But I'm still considering watching it since Nic Cage is in it and I just can't get enough of him.

Gummo and Trailer Park Boys should never mentioned together. It's an insult to Gummo

And not really. Well Kinda... no.

I went in knowing nothing, saw 1 trailer and liked the music they used for the scare scenes. Nothing in the movie was scary.

People are just going over board because it's Nic Cage.

Duly noted.

Cage is one of my absolute favorites and I think people have got very high expectations for him again as several of his newer films have turned into better films as it seems that he gives 100%. I thought he was simply phenomenal in Dream Scenario (2023).
