Do you ever watch it outside of Xmas?
My kids do! My daughter is absolutely mental for Christmas. I’ve been getting the “only x days to Christmas” for about two months now and herself and my youngest watched it about two weeks ago.

Good choice! It’s so happy

Such a fun film.
Back to the Future
It’s a classic! Do you like the sequels?
I do. The first film is perfect, or nearly so. It’s charming, full of details, funny, and obviously hugely influential. But I find it also perfectly captures that upbeat 80s vibe. It’s endlessly quotable.
The sequels are not necessary but well executed, about as good as sequels can get. I probably liked Part 2 more as a kid, but I still enjoy them both. I find the self-referential time-loop history-repeating-itself stuff both appropriate and limiting. But they’re fun. I’m still disappointed we never got those hover-boards.
That’s my thinking too! I think the second one is great fun, it gets a bad wrap but it’s just good fun.
A Knight’s Tale!
Chef is the bestest answer to this question. All day. A film with no major conflict where things only improve for the characters until the credits roll.
Which Chef? There are quite a few!
Chef is a 2014 road comedy-drama film written, produced, and directed by Jon Favreau, who also stars in the film as a celebrity chef who quits his job at a popular Los Angeles restaurant following a public altercation with a food critic and begins to operate a food truck with his friends and his young son. It co-stars Sofía Vergara, John Leguizamo, Scarlett Johansson, Oliver Platt, Bobby Cannavale, Amy Sedaris, Emjay Anthony, and Dustin Hoffman, along with Robert Downey Jr.
