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.

[–] craftyindividual@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

Truly recommend this, fun and touching.

[–] ivanafterall@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

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

[–] cashews_best_nut@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

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

[–] Syll@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago (2 children)

LOTR extended edition, any or all of them

[–] Syll@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] jeena@jemmy.jeena.net 0 points 2 years ago

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

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

[–] jeena@jemmy.jeena.net -1 points 2 years ago

Yes? Actually I only watch any movies once.

[–] jeena@jemmy.jeena.net 6 points 2 years 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!

[–] MargotRobbie@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

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

[–] nieceandtows@programming.dev 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Does Netflix have The Man From Earth?

[–] jeena@jemmy.jeena.net 2 points 2 years ago (3 children)

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

[–] nieceandtows@programming.dev 2 points 2 years ago

Try movie-web.app

[–] LazaroFilm@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

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

[–] Froyn@kbin.social 1 points 2 years 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.

[–] Markimus@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

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

[–] kindenough@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

Palm Springs

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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 2 years ago (1 children)
[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

All three? Damn, you've got good taste

It's... a lot of things

[–] ohlaph@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)
[–] jeena@jemmy.jeena.net 1 points 2 years ago

We'we already seen it.

[–] BiggestBulb@kbin.social 2 points 2 years 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 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years 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.

[–] ivanafterall@kbin.social 2 points 2 years 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.

[–] deegeese@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 years ago
[–] Hobart_the_GoKart@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

Probably too late, but I recommend Klaus on Netflix.

[–] Nemo@midwest.social 1 points 2 years ago

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

[–] KISSmyOS@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Leave the World Behind is 2h20 but it's really good, if you're into psychological horror.

[–] jeena@jemmy.jeena.net 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I actually wanted to see it but fiance doesn't want to watch movies which ale < 7 on IMDB. I guess I'll need to watch it myself some day.

[–] KISSmyOS@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I've stopped giving a fuck about IMDB ratings. So many great movies I would have missed.

[–] jeena@jemmy.jeena.net 2 points 2 years ago

I totally agree, she doesn't though ^^
