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.

[-] ivanafterall@kbin.social 2 points 10 months ago

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

[-] craftyindividual@lemm.ee 2 points 10 months ago

Truly recommend this, fun and touching.

[-] cashews_best_nut@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

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

[-] Syll@lemmy.world 10 points 10 months ago

LOTR extended edition, any or all of them

[-] Syll@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

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

[-] jeena@jemmy.jeena.net 0 points 10 months ago

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

[-] jeena@jemmy.jeena.net 0 points 10 months ago

I've already seen it.

[-] astanix@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

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

[-] jeena@jemmy.jeena.net -1 points 10 months ago

Yes? Actually I only watch any movies once.

[-] jeena@jemmy.jeena.net 6 points 10 months ago

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!

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.

[-] jeena@jemmy.jeena.net 1 points 10 months ago

I've already seen it.

[-] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

All three? Damn, you've got good taste

[-] nieceandtows@programming.dev 4 points 10 months ago

Does Netflix have The Man From Earth?

[-] jeena@jemmy.jeena.net 2 points 10 months ago

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

[-] nieceandtows@programming.dev 2 points 10 months ago

Try movie-web.app

[-] Froyn@kbin.social 1 points 10 months ago

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.

[-] LazaroFilm@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

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

[-] MargotRobbie@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

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

[-] ohlaph@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

2012 Ice Age of course.

[-] jeena@jemmy.jeena.net 1 points 10 months ago

We'we already seen it.

[-] kindenough@kbin.social 3 points 10 months ago

Palm Springs

[-] Markimus@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

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

[-] crypticthree@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Baby Oopsie

[-] jeena@jemmy.jeena.net 1 points 10 months ago

This looks terrifying :D

[-] crypticthree@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

It's... a lot of things

[-] BiggestBulb@kbin.social 2 points 10 months ago

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

[-] ares35@kbin.social 2 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months 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.

[-] deegeese@sopuli.xyz 2 points 10 months ago

Home Alone

[-] ivanafterall@kbin.social 2 points 10 months 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.

[-] Nemo@midwest.social 1 points 10 months ago

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

[-] Hobart_the_GoKart@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago

Probably too late, but I recommend Klaus on Netflix.
