Hey! I'm looking to watch a movie this weekend; got any recommendations?
I'm here to help. Tell me about the last movie you watched and really enjoyed?
I recently watched Barry Lyndon. It made me feel really pensive and reflective, and the period aspect was comfy.
It sounds like you enjoy period and historical dramas. Downton Abbey is a period drama film in theaters right now that I think you might enjoy.
Actually, I don't think so. I've never watched the TV series and my friends who have had very mixed feelings about it. Plus, I'm not really interested in that specific historical period. It always makes me feel very cold and sterile. I can be picky about my historical periods like that.
I understand. Well, there's not any other period pieces playing in theaters besides Downton Abbey, so let's find another type of film you'd enjoy. Tell me about another film that you like.
I really enjoyed watching Get Out. It was pretty funny, scary, and also had some interesting political commentary.
I see. You might enjoy some of the horror releases then. What do you think of IT Chapter Two?
Well, I've never seen the first IT, so it seems like a bad idea to just jump straight into the sequel...
Definitely true. In that case, what about something like Countdown?
I don't think I'd be interested. The rotten tomatoes score is pretty awful... I guess if there's nothing else, then maybe I would watch it to see just how bad it is.
I'll remember that, but hopefully we don't have to go there. Luckily, there are other options. What do you think about Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark?
It sounds ... ok. But not quite something I'm in the mood for. It seems like just regular horror. I want something that might make me think, if you know what I mean.
I think I have the perfect option for you then: The Lighthouse is a psychological horror movie that also has very good reviews. Would you be interested in seeing it?
That actually sounds perfect! I remember my friends said they really like it and that it was gripping, but also really thoughtfully executed; kind of like Get Out. I hope I like it as much as them. Thank you for helping me find a movie!
Excellent! It's no problem at all; I'm glad to have helped. I hope you enjoy it too!
I'll talk to you again soon. Bye!
Looking forward to it. Bye!
