My note went VIRAL!
Now it's time for cinema
A few weeks ago I shared a note about rating childhood movies, and seeing all the replies has been one of the most interesting things I’ve engaged with in a long time.
There were so many legitimately interesting options that I realized it would make for an amazing and nostalgic movie list, so I parsed through every reply and restack I could find and compiled them all here for me and you.
I plan on doing some movie nights, and have my wife and kids browse through the list as if we were visiting the local movie rental shop. No movie critic nonsense scores, just your heartfelt recommendations.
I must say, a lot of these are underrated but some of you just shared some movies that are far far from terrible. Looking at you Renei who suggested Shrek, I hope Lord Farquad throws you in jail.
If you want to make it interesting and watch a movie you maybe would not have picked, I have numbered them all and linked a random number Generator below.
Have some fun!
