Hey! Could you recommend me a good movie playing in theaters that is very thought provoking and would make me think about it after long after I've left the theater?
Certainly. So you want a movie that's thought provoking and basically leaves a lasting impact after you leave the theater? Let me see here. I've found Zombieland Double Tap. How does that one sound?
Well that movie is basically satire and I don't see it being very thought provoking. Plus I don't want comedy. Give me something darker. What else do you have?
So you don't want comedy either? Something darker. What about Maleficent: Mistress of Evil? It isn't comedy and it's darker.
Yeah but it seems to be more like fantasy. I don't want fantasy. Basically, no Disney movies. Any other recommendations?
Let me check. How do you feel about Terminator: Dark Fate? It's not comedy and it's so dark, it even has dark in the title?
But it's not the kind of movie I'm searching for. Remember, it has to be thought provoking.
Got it. I've found the Addams Family. I'm sure it has the potential to be thought provoking and it's definitely a dark comedy.
No comedy. Think of it like this: no cartoons. No sci-fi. More down to earth yet impactful. And I don't want to feel humorous while watching it.
Down to earth and impactful. And you don't want to feel humorous. Let's see. How about It: Chapter 2?
You're on the right track. But I want something character driven where I can feel a strong connection to the main character. Plus just a little more down to earth.
Alright. I'm thinking Gemini Man may be the perfect choice for you!
It's not as down to earth as I'd like. The action seems a little too over the top. Plus I don't feel it would have me thinking about it long into the night. You also know I like to see movies that scored well on Rotten Tomatoes and that movie didn't sit well with critics.
So no to Gemini Man. You want a film that scored well on Rotten Tomatoes. How about Ad Astra, even though it takes place in space, it's still down to earth in the sense of realism? Also, it scored an 84% on Rotten Tomatoes.
True. But let's hear one that actually takes place on earth. Something that can actually seem realistic. Something that leaves me feeling a variety of emotions. My friends and I love flat out psychological movies. Let's hear a good psychological movie that my buddies and I can dissect for weeks on end.
Ah ha! I have the perfect movie for you. Joker. It's down to earth and will certainly have you talking about it long after the movie is over. It's dark, serious and will have a heavy impact on your emotions! You and your friends will spend a great deal of time dissecting every aspect of it and it also scored a 69% on Rotten Tomatoes.
