i love it when like. a gaming youtuber is always doing challenge runs of a game or something to that effect, but the video is just... more than that. it's interesting already when they detail their attempts and point out highlights or go into the specifics of the run like discussing rng or whatever, but when there's major production value - more than just a few well-edited montages, going as far as adding a narrative to the challenge - i adore that shit. takes the video beyond just a simple "can i do this?" idea to a story worth experiencing in and of itself. i need to find more youtubers that do this.
#some notable examples of this:#though not really adding too deep of a narrative to most of his videos Joov is great at adding that extra Pizzazz to them#for project zomboid - ricksdetrix has really good challenge runs already. he makes videos that i enjoy watching#farrr more than. hmm. Other zomboid youtubers. but his latest series really cemented that for me#another notable example is SQz - specifically the hoarder video. there's cutscenes. CUTSCENES.#speaking of cutscenes i'm watching a stardew video rn (shocker) by argonmatrix about catching every fish in a single day#and. bro. BROOOOO. so much time and effort went into this i am astounded.#there's a whole fucking cutscene done in the style of the game. AND IT'S IN-CHARACTER.#if anyone has any recs of people that do this PLEASE drop em !!!!! im a sucker for this shit!!!!

tali i have kind of a weird question? growing up my family never watched a lot of classic/common movies (we were FIRMLY a veggie tales house) so I have No Clue what like half of the movies you mention are? like I've never seen footloose or what a wonderful life or die hard? or practically... anything you've ever talked about :(
(also ive never seen mean girls but thats a oersonal failure cas I just. forget to watch it?)
do you have a fav/good movie i should start with cause I feel like I'm missing out on so much :(
hi honey!! you’re so valid, and i had LOTS of veggie tales experience growing up. i know you asked for one, but i went a lil ham on this list because you’ve unknowingly touched on one of my favorite hobbies
okay so i have a big list for you, but it’s in really manageable chunks!! i went to theatre school at the school that houses the Best Cinema School in the World (fight on, usc) and i have Opinions™!!
if anyone has any other recs not on this list, drop em in the replies!!
i’ll put these in order of my preference/pop culture relevance, so it’s all subjective and idk what your taste is like, but if you have any questions im always here for you!! i’ve added a few notes and disclaimers along the way
this is a really good list to go off of, in general!
okay so here are my top seven films that i never get tired of watching, in order.
skyfall
that thing you do
captain america: the first avenger/captain america: winter soldier
inglorious basterds*
the sound of music
knives out
blazing saddles**
* inglorious basterds is a quentin tarantino movie, and tarantino isn’t for everyone. his films are always really bloody, intense, and rife with bad language. i don’t like him personally, but i love his work. this is, in my opinion, his best and funniest work
** blazing saddles is a mel brooks movie, and he’s REALLY offensive and inappropriate in his satire. it’s definitely an iconic comedy, but not to everyone’s taste. it’s one of those movies where you’re actually allowed to laugh at the really horrible jokes because it’s an equal-opportunity offense-fest lmao
so here are some other genres and films that are a good foundation!
IN GENERAL!! i don’t like remakes. if there’s an older version of the movie, watch that one. trust me.
i’ve also bolded a couple of key favorites on this list
romantic comedies
my best friend’s wedding
the ugly truth & 27 dresses (katherine hiegl movies ROCK)
sleepless in seattle & you’ve got mail (meg ryan and tom hanks own my ass)
when harry met sally
movies based on books/short stories
to kill a mockingbird
the book thief
the hunger games trilogy
divergent
chronicles of narnia
pride and prejudice (2005 or the bbc miniseries)
3:10 to yuma
based on a true story
ford v. ferrarri
three billboards outside of ebbing, missouri
moneyball
zero dark thirty
the king’s speech
black mass
apollo 11
documentaries*
ken burns’ civil war
ken burns’ baseball
paris is burning
blackfish
free solo
the hunting ground
* please be advised, some of these documentaries cover some disturbing and distressing subjects. please engage responsibly!
superhero movies
iron man
the dark knight*
wonder woman
scott pilgrim vs the world (okay give me this one)
spider man 1, the amazing spider man, and spiderman: homecoming (all different spidermans, all great movies!
deadpool**
* tdk is really really dark, but the performances are immaculate. ** deadpool is wildly inappropriate, so don’t take the R-rating lightly! it’s so funny though. so so fucking funny.
teen favorites

she’s the man

some of these movies don’t get everything right. if you do choose to engage, engage critically and let the art make you feel something.
tom hanks movies
yes he gets his own category
joe v the volcano
castaway
big
saving mr banks
movies where the government saves matt damon
the martian
saving private ryan
interstellar
jason bourne (technically he saves himself, but he’s still funded by the government)
war movies
fury
band of brothers
full metal jacket
the last full measure
war horse
1917
hacksaw ridge
westerns
django unchained
the magnificent seven
true grit
the good the bad and the ugly
a fistful of dollars
old hollywood
an affair to remember
breakfast at tiffany’s, roman holiday (audrey hepburn is an icon of the era)
any alfred hitchcock movie, but psycho and rear window are my faves
these movies don’t get everything right. they are a product of their time and often come with insensitive and unironically offensive cultural baggage. if you so choose, engage critically. you’re still allowed to enjoy the movies, just understand what’s not acceptable!
christmas movies
it’s a wonderful life
white christmas
a christmas story
the holiday
die hard (some people don’t think this is a christmas movie. i disagree.)
the family stone
a year without a santa clause
halloween movies
hocus pocus
beetlejuice
anything by tim burton - the nightmare before christmas, the corpse bride
the shining
the blair witch project
get out
cult classics
the rocky horror picture show
the room
reservoir dogs
jennifer’s body
point break
these are WAY more fun with friends - please quarantine responsibly, but it's so worth the wait to watch this with a big group of people.
