Reply to Favourite Movie of All Time by [deleted]

The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King

This is my favorite theatrical experience of all time. A grand-scale epic firing on all cylinders from performances, direction, writing, production design, VFX for the time, score, cinematography, etc.

The first 2 were incredible experiences as well, but I stand by Return of the King being the most emotional and heartfelt of the 3.

Soaring moments like the Ride of the Rohirrim, Aragorn’s speech, and Sam’s “I can’t carry it for you, but I can’t carry you!” Quieter moments like Gandalf’s talk with Pippin about death or Frodo’s departure.

I could go on and on but 20 years on and it’s still my favorite to this day.

Reply to This probably sounds stupid, but how do you guys watch all of your movies? by Mindless_Bad_1591

I watch movies mostly by renting or purchasing on iTunes. They have most things I have ever wanted to watch.

There’s honestly not a lot of great movie selection on the popular streaming services.

Mubi or Criterion Collection are good though.

But tbh I watch as many movies as I can at the cinemas, especially at film festivals as sometimes those movies never have a life on digital.

Grosse Pointe Blank might interest you, depending on your age.

Runners-up are The Adventures of Baron Munchausen, A Fish Called Wanda and Ghostbusters.

I have ADD (diagnosed in the 90s myself) and these are cross-genre movies I watch again and again. They're visually attractive without beating you over the head with it. The stories are well-paced as journeys and there's a certain amount of equality between all speaking characters. All relevant, all interesting people even if we focus on the protagonist.

It's a tough endeavor, not going to lie. I don't even have ADHD but just like a lot of folks, the phone can be a really easy distraction and I have to battle myself to not get distracted by it too much. Hang in there!
