Constantine Matrix ... I do love Keanu, but I don't care for his latest movies much.
When I'm sad or depressed, I rewatch Inside out (1 or 2) and it puts me in a content and indifferent headspace.

As an oldster, I notice that almost all of the movies listed here are more than 20 years old. Most of the cultural references on Lemmy are much more recent than that.

I like to shut my brain off and have simple entertainment that doesn’t require much thinking during watching watch time.
My favourite movie of all time is Enemy 2013 and Black Swan but these are movies that go under your skin and everytime I watch them I have to go into spirals of overthinking etc while the above mentioned movies don’t give me that.
No matter what I watch, I get old regardless :(
