starting a screening series, looking for recs (hexbear.net)

had a couple of v pleasant movie watching experiences with others and realized I have been missing out on one of life's utmost pleasures, watching movies in a group setting. to remedy this, I am starting to screen movies on a schedule, two evenings a week, for myself, my neighbors (I live in a small apt complex), and select others to drop in on when they feel like.

seeking recommendations along two lines:

  1. What movies have you watched in a group setting that have absolutely killed?

  2. Every month will have a theme, and for November the theme is "just to feel" - v emotional movies. Doesn't have to be super sad, it could be joyful, but preferably not a children's/family film or an anime (sorry just not my thing, though there are exceptions of course - you can't do an emotional movies program without Grave of the Fireflies)

wuxia and kung fu movies tend to do well in group settings in my experience. people like watching badass stuntmen do amazing martial arts and nearly die. as far as emotional movies i think royal tenenbaums and some other wes andersons have some emotional heft without being so heavy that people won't want to come. the holdovers is another one like that and also has a holiday theme so it might be good for later in november
