So my cousin in in town next week. I thought we would head to the movies on Tuesday when we get discounted tickets. Any recommendations? I'm not into spooky, creepy, psycho things. Anything out that is based on real events or good books? I like things that are inspirational or cause us to reflect on how we would act in a given situation.
Actually, the film Overcomer is out. It is supposed to be inspirational and definitely family appropriate.
Okay, do you know what it's about specifically? Is it based on a true story, fiction?
Fictional I believe. It's been out a while so it may not be very flexible on times. Joker is definitely out if you don't want creepy and psycho. Judy is out right now. It is supposed to be about Judy Garland. I don't know how much it holds to her real life but you might enjoy it.\n\n
Oh yeah, I forgot that was out. I don't know much about her except that she was in The Wizard of Oz. My cousin might enjoy that.
You might enjoy Skid Row. It could be inspirational and motivating. It's not rated so I'm not sure that it would be family appropriate. It includes homeless individuals and recovering alcoholics. I'm not sure how rough the language might get. If your cousin is into more lightheared things you might enjoy the Addams Family or Lion King.
Yea, maybe. I'm tired of remakes though so the Lion King is out.
Are you in to Sci Fi? You might enjoy Ad Astra.
Nope, not a Sci Fi person. I like reality, not sci fi. I have a hard time getting into sci fi fiction. I'd rather see historical fiction than sci fi fiction.
Then you might like Downtown Abbey. It's more of a historical fiction that follows one family in England during the 20th century.
Hmm, maybe.
There's also Peanut Butter Falcon. It needs just the right kind of audience. It has a young man with Down Syndrome in the film. He's tired of his life in the nursing home and leaves (unknowingly to the nursing home staff) to achieve his personal goals. He ends up pairing up with a "small time outlaw on the run" and they have quite the adventures and learning experiences. This might be just the inspirational story you are looking for.
Yes- there are quite a few good options now.
So for inspiration you have Overcomer, Peanut Butter Falcon and Skid Row Marathon. For true stories you have Skid Row Marathon. Historical Fiction is Downtown Abbey. What are your thoughts?
Well, Skid Row Marathon covers two of my requirements. Seems like it might be the most inspirational, motivating and feel-good movie out there. Let's hope it lives up to the expectation.
All right then. I hope you enjoy the movie! Let me know if I can be of any further assistance.
