No matter how silly, Napoleon Dynamite leaves me smiling and feeling good every time.

I’m glad you like it but for me it will always be the most overrated movie of the last 25 years.

[–] Mrmojo4700 (21706) 3 years ago

I’m not even sure what it’s IMDb rating is, but for me it really encapsulates the high school experience with all the different “classes” of students.

Makes me laugh too!

What are your thoughts on BASEketball?

Hunt for the Wilderpeople Was such a great surprise for me!!

O Brother is one of my all time favorite film.

[–] [deleted] 3 years ago

I was expecting greatness from ..Wilderpeople and I wasn’t disappointed. Taika Waititi is the KING of feel-good movies, hence his films appearing on my list three times!

Paddington (2014) & Paddington 2 (2017). I don't really care for "mushy" films. They're just not my thing. I have a really low cringe threshold. And most family friendly I've come across (with the exception of a couple of Pixar films) are cringe inducing.

But these 2 were such a fun surprise. They're an absolute delight to watch. So darn wholesome. Would definitely recommend. Literally the entire family had a blast. 9/10
