The Austin Powers movies are fun if you are looking for something light with broad appeal

The new Knives Out is coming up. The first and second deserve a rewatch.

The first Matrix, too bad they never made any sequels.

The Mask of Zorro is my all time top guilty pleasure.

Bram Stoker’s Dracula is great and incredibly horny.

Princess Bride.

Hot Fuzz, gets better every time you watch it.

Labyrinth, yes plz.

Muppets Christmas Carol, later in the year, but like the best Muppets movie.

Wallace and Grommet, any but Curse of the Wererabbit is my favourite.

Rocky Horror Picture Show, depending on the group.

Similarly, The Room. Set up some spoon emojis 🥄🥄🥄🥄🥄🥄🥄

Anything with Tom Hanks. Apollo 13, Forrest Gump and A Man Called Otto if you need somewhere to start.

Puss in boots the last wish.

It’s really weird just how good that movie was

Some random movies I like off the top of my head:

The Princess Bride

Terminator 2

Kate and Leopold

Dogma

Memento

Oculus

Catch Me If You Can

Galaxy Quest

Matchstick Men

Kung Fu Hustle

Whiplash and Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri are the two best movies I've seen in a long long time

The Big Lebowski

Fargo

Pineapple Express

Anchorman

Die Hard/Die Hard 3

one of my favorites to suggest is a classic called Paper Moon.

It's black and white and has that slower pacing of some older movies. I think it also stands up and has the kind of comedy that endures. We watch it every year around the holidays.

You can also have a look at what some other watch parties are showing.

Here's a calendar of events on Mastodon & Bluesky

You can also use an online service to keep a wish list of films or see other people's lists. Many people use Letterboxd or Trakt. I've just started using the fediverse service NeoDB.
