As I settle in for an uneventful NYE 2023 "celebration" I am humbly asking fellow FReepers who are well versed in the vices of (esp) sloth and gluttony to offer their own personal recommendations for good weekend killing movies. Many thanks in advance. Stay safe...my couch is safe.

Sounds like a Lord of the Rings marathon for starters.

[FlingWingFlyer]

The wife and I have been enjoying a Denzel Washington Marathon. I didn’t realize he made so many movies and I’ve got all of them.

Give us a hint of your want, thoughtful movies, escapist horror or old Westerns, great comedies, old or new, foreign OK, action or war movies?

Atlas Shrugged I, II, and III

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

What are you interested in?

As we own upward of 20,000 movies/TV shows we can probably find something to suit your tastes.

I’m open to anything except horror and urban american black dramas (gangs, rap, prisons, or Smollett smutt).

[Libloather]

Jump on YouTube - best B movies going. I recently got stuck on an old TV show called UFO run by an organisation called Shado. The moon babes have purple hair.

I’ll recommend some foreign cop TV series you can binge watch, some with subtititles. Note, there are no 90lb female kung-fu cops kicking butt.

The Fall
Wisting
Trapped
Hidden
Shetland

You could binge-watch all three seasons of Dead to Me with Christina Applegate. We just watched it last week.

The third season in real life she had contracted MS and her appearance was drastically different, but she was a trooper and finished the third season in extreme pain. She will probably never act again.

You have to watch the ultimate NYE movie, set in NYC, “The Hudsucker Proxy.”

You know, for kids!

Me and my wife are truly small change and we have quite the collection of DVDs.

Easily hundreds, many still unopened.

I am the only person here that watched those movies. I have the DVDs and soundtracks.

My wife did go with me to see part three.
