Old movies that you've recently watched thread

Snow day viewing of A Christmas Story with the kid. He’d never seen it, though I wondered if a vision of 1950s Americana would be relatable to a zoomer. Turns out, tongues stuck to frozen flagpoles, overly-bundled-up children, and Santa planting a boot in a kid’s face are timeless.

I can't remember the last movie I went to, I walked out on the Hobbit, that was a minute ago.

I saw the Hobbit movies (well the first two).  Not good.  They felt that they needed to stretch a single book into a trilogy, so they added a whole bunch that wasn't even in the book, and dragged it out.

Watched it at home.  Don't know why I even watched the 2nd after watching the 1st.  I'm embarrassed.

I think I saw all three Hobbit movies... the only memorable thing about them is Tim from The Office as Bilbo Baggins.
I could definitely watch the LotR movies again at some point, maybe when there’s a Star Wars lull.

Star Wars disco music playing.

I loved the Tolkien books. LOTR movies are not bad, but I saw them all at home and I was beery so I was dozing off a few times during them.

You know my feelings—I’m usually the ultimate book snob, but LotR was wildly better in movie form! The books were a snooze-fest even sans booze!

Speaking of...I read the new book adaptation of Pan’s Labyrinth with the kid, then we recently watched the movie. The movie is great, but it’s a million times better if you’ve read the book (the book layers in even more myth and magical realism and adds depth to characters).
