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 have plenty more but this is just off the top of my head.
For me is the Back to the Future trilogy but I usually watch just the first one..every year
Buckaroo Banzai: Across the Eighth Dimension.
It's the quintessential 80s movie.
When I'm sad or depressed, I rewatch Inside out (1 or 2) and it puts me in a content and indifferent headspace.
White Chicks
Mean Girls
The Devil Wears Prada
The Proposal
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.

A Silent Voice/Koe no Natachi
I'm currently learning Japanese, and this has been my go-to to rewatch without subtitles, picking up a little more each time I revisit it.
Baby Driver, The Gentlemen
Couldn't even get through one whole watch of Baby Driver, tried several times but cringe quit sometime before the midpoint every time.

I must have seen Old School at least twenty times.
It was pretty much the perfect movie before streaming services existed and you were too lazy to go to the video store or P2P-download another movie because you'd rather hang out on your friends' couch and smoke weed all day.
