(15,625 posts)1. Harper Valley PTA - not much in the way of action, but it's not overly distracting if I put it on while I'm working on something
2. The Three Amigos - absurdist humor (you shot the invisible swordsman!) and sending up of traditional Mexican bandito movie tropes
3. A Night at the Opera - "Let there be music in the streets, drinking in the saloons, and necking in the parlor (to dignified musical conductor) Play, Don."
4. Jack Frost - Not the Michael Keaton movie or the horror movie, but a Russian-Finnish co-production from the 1960s about some of their folktales. It was riffed by Mystery Science Theater 3000, but the cinematography is first class, and the story so charming that I bought the DVD. I can watch either version.
5. Captain America: The Winter Soldier -I'm an avid Marvel movie fan so I could pop in anything after 2008's Iron Man and be happy with it, but the action and humor (Cap and Black Widow toss a baddie off a roof to intimidate him, knowing that he'll be caught by Falcon, and while waiting for them to appear, calmly discuss Widow's attempts to get Cap a date) was top-notch.
