What movie should me and fiance watch tonight?

Today is the first day of our holidays. Tomorrow we pack to go to Germany. We're trying to get the baby to sleep since 8pm, now it's 11pm and it looks like he will fall asleep soon.

We could watch some movie on Netflix which is not too long, like 1.5 hours. Which movie do you recommend?

LOTR extended edition, any or all of them

Didn't read the time piece. Super Mario Brothers movie is pretty good

Already seen it with the older daughter, it was pretty good.

In the end the baby fell asleep at 11:30 pm so there was no time for any movie left, we fell asleep exhausted. But we downloaded some of your suggestions so perhaps one of us will have time to watch something on the plane.

Thanks for engaging and giving so many different tips!

Why on earth would anyone want to go to Germany?

It's a nice country and my parents live there. We have a baby and they never met him so we're going for three weeks over Christmas so they can meet him and us.

I heard Barbie is pretty good. It's only 2 hours, and it premieres on HBO Max today.

This is spinal tap, Metallica's some kind of monster or This is Anvil.

It's the same film, one is a mocumentary, the other is an unintentional comedy because no one is self aware, and the other is a self aware comedy documentary.

Does Netflix have The Man From Earth?

Sadly no, I guess I'd need to find it somewhere at the seven seas.

If you're sailing anyways...
Moon with Sam Rockwell
Midsommar
What we do in the Shadows (the original movie, not saying the tv series is bad)

For "seasonal appropriate" - White Christmas
For "silly appropriate" - Any of the old "Road To" movies.

In the Tall Grass is very good, though it's 1h 41m

You could watch Pitch Black (not sure if it's on Netflix). Vin Diesel kills it as the main character

how are you traveling? snakes on a plane; airplane!; speed; planes, trains and automobiles; air force one; pelham 123..., all good 'pre-trip' movies, and each worthy of a re-watch.

8-Bit Christmas is, in my opinion, an instant classic. A lot of people still haven't seen it since it's pretty new, but definitely worth a watch.

The Yugoslavian film Underground, if you can find it. Hilarious and heartbreaking by turns, with a splash of Magical Realism.
