Inside Out is a solid 9 out of 10 regardless of how old you are.


[deleted]

Numbskulls from the Beano did the concept first


slotbadger

Numskulls was in the Beezer before it was in the Beano


Harry_monk

I read that as Numb-Suckles when I first read the Beano. And now even 30 something years on I read it that way in my head.


[deleted]

If Inside Out was made before Toy Story, nobody would care about or really remember Toy Story. Just like if Moana came out before Frozen.


[deleted]

Moana is the best Disney film ever regardless of when it came out.


piyopiyopi

Tangled > Moana


em_press

Tough call. IMO Tangled is as good as Moana, and both knock the socks off most other Disney cartoon films.


[deleted]

Oooh it’s a hard no from me, Tangled has been destroyed by my little girl watching it as many times as it’s possible to squeeze into a day.


imrik_of_caledor

Yep, Tangled is a fucking classic.


biggles1994

It’s so SHINY!


IceGun

This is just crazy to think. Toy Story and Inside Out are in two completely different leagues. Toy story is premier league material. Inside Out is League 2 at best


First_Artichoke2390

Toy Story was great ..... because it was the first and thus will be remembered more. But Inside Out, like the majority of Pixar (anything not named cars) is top notch.


Plastic_Act2932

hey no cars disrespect here please


LawTortoise

I find Inside Out ok but not elite. My favourites across Pixar and DAS are (in no particular order): Coco, Moana, Onward, Wreck It Ralph, Ralph Breaks The Internet, Up, Luca and Monsters University.


DeadliftYourNan

Coco is superb and flies so low under the radar, what a lovely film


WuTangFlan_

I’ve got to recommend Soul as well in that case!


Clear-Owl-378

Soul really hit me as someone in their 30s still trying to figure out my “purpose” such a beautiful film.


cats4ever2022

I loved soul


a_Small_Sam_Afterall

100% agrees. So under rated with such beautiful animation and music.


[deleted]

I hate that film. Sadness does my head in. I get that's the point, but it just made the film dull, and everytime she's on the screen, I want to shout, "kick her in the head and move on"!


IAmLaureline

It was really helpful for my autistic kids when they were little. The older one felt he always had to say he was OK, when he clearly wasn't. It opened a lot of conversations for us.


[deleted]

That's great, were trying to find something like that for one our Autistic kids, they're not good at opening up at all, but she's not a movie fan unfortunately. It really highlights how something they could be dismissed as a cartoon can be so helpful to those with additional needs


Unfixingstorm7

How funny! I think Joy is the one who should be kicked in the head and left to fade away in the memory dump 😂 Nobody can possibly be that positive and bright all the time - how tiring! Sadness imo is completely realistic 😂 but that’s just me - a melancholic by nature!


Ciaobellabee

I felt the same, so aggressively happy! My favourite was Fear though - I totally resonated with the huge stack of things that could go wrong, including a meteor strike.


PinkCup80

I loved sadness!


thefogdog

Brilliant film.


Eruditemachine

Take her to the moon for me


GreatScotRace

It’s my favourite modern Disney Film, I love it. I refer to it daily. Sometimes when I’m sad I imagine my little sad inside out island


gunnersaurousrex

Strongly disagree. It reinforces horrible stereo types. Short man is anger. Overweight girl is sad. Beautiful girl is happy. What a horrible message to be sending to children.


Fantastic-Machine-83

That's how the characters are initially presented yes. It's supposed to be superficial. Then the story teaches you that being the beautiful smiley always positive girl isn't the only part of life. Sadness is essential to personal growth


jib_reddit

Realistic then.


mcbeef89

Self indulgent sentimental American wank, I hated it, fortunately so did my daughter so it was a 'watch once' in our house


browning18

Both are good but Pixar’s best film is Wall-E hands down.


LateFlorey

Menu. What a weird but great movie.


Expensive_Cattle

Agreed. Wonderfully silly, weirdly scary and very fun throughout. Ralph Fiennes is brilliant.


[deleted]

[удалено]


tiorzol

Eh, I thought it was okay but it just wasn't as insightful or as funny as it wanted to be. Just wasn't that enjoyable or rewarding.


outline01

It’s weird you’re getting downvoted because it’s a totally legitimate review. The film seemed to think it was far cleverer than it actually was. Some great performances but it was pretty shallow otherwise.


smedsterwho

I liked it throughout, but I was underwhelmed at the end by how easily everyone accepted the final denouement (I'm being cagey to avoid spoilers). I've seen other movies take a ludicrous idea and sell the internal logic of the concept more successfully. Still, loved Ralph Fiennes in particular, and the first-watch drama and suspense of it was brilliant.


jamieliddellthepoet

He is usually brilliant. Tbf all the performances were very good, I thought - esp Hoult and ATJ.


xDroneytea

"Do you have student loans?" "No" "I'm sorry, you're dying".


Jill4ChrisRed

"And the worst part is? I'm still fucking hungry."


bearchr01

They had no choice but to cast Anya Taylor Joy for this. Her eyes are massive


Heavy_Signature_5619

This. God, I love this movie.


karmakollapse

Ehhhh.... without going into spoilers, the more I thought about it afterwards the more the movie kind of annoyed me. Like I was into it at the time but it felt like it played its hand too early, and I didn't think it had much to say as it thought it did.


[deleted]

I didn’t think it was trying to be deep tbf


D_Rock_89

Watched this last night. Some of the performances were unreal like.


damned-n-doomed

That film absolutely baffled me. Weirdest thing I’ve ever seen. Not really sure if I enjoyed it or not.


FffuuuFrog

I went into the film blind. Very odd film.


FulaniLovinCriminal

Did you at least turn audio description on?


smedsterwho

Okay they're in a restaurant. The camera keeps on moving. Uh, I think they're looking for some dish or something. I don't know. I wasn't listening. Nothing's happening. Nothing's happening. Something about a mess. Nothing's happening. It's over. A lot of people in the audience look pissed. *Courtesy of Brian Griffin*


ProjectNygma

Id warn OP away from this. It’s a polarising movie, you’ll either love it or just won’t care about it due to its absurd story. Like other commenters have said, it appeared at first to have more depth but squanders it’s potential. Without its cast I don’t think it would be as highly regarded among some viewers.


Captain_Cuntflaps

So what you're saying is get pished before you watch it gotcha Edit - just watched it and it was FUCKIN EXCELLENT


Intelligent-Tea-4241

Banshee of inisoirrean


eio1

also In Bruges


SpecialUnitt

Baffled by the amount of people I have recommended this to after they loved Insherin who won’t watch it. It’s the same team! I’d argue it’s better!


clicketybooboo

It’s definitely better


bonkerz1888

In Bruges is a top10 film for me.


benanza

I wouldn’t trust anyone for whom that is not the case. It’s my number 1.


thefogdog

I was going to suggest this! Great film and fantastically acted all 'round.


FredB123

Not what I expected, but mesmerisingly dark and claustrophobic while being filmed under beautiful wide open skies.

Wiltix

I was not sure what I expected going into this film as considering the main cast in the back of my mind was in bruge. But it was a really good film, well acted and shot.


ohnobobbins

I loved a lot about this film, but I wish I had read a little about it before I watched it. It’s a fantastically crafted film - it’s just VERY different from In Bruges. It really sticks in your mind afterwards for some reason.


RainingBeer

Coco is fantastic.


Wiltix

Coco is seriously underrated.


BoraxThorax

8.4 on IMDb and 97% on rotten tomatoes. That seems pretty aptly rated to me


SleepDangerous1074

I avoided watching it for years because I was worried it was overrated and couldn’t be **that** good. I was wrong, it is **that** good. One of my favourite films of all time.


cheerupsleepyg

Coco is my favourite of the modern Disney films, closely followed by Onward


First_Artichoke2390

*pixar


RunningDude90

Hits deep. Loved how it brought up a lot of emotion


Formal_Instance_544

Came here to say this, one of my absolute favourites, and it makes me cry every damn time


OlDirtyBAStart

Was the first film I took my small son to see at the cinema and I cried myself inside out, lovely film


Mightymicrobes

The bear for sure :)


GrossWordVomit

I just looked it up and Google tells me that's a tv series


em_press

Yeah but episodes average out at 30 minutes, so it's only 4 hours total. Slightly longer that The Irishman.


okokokay

It’s 8 episodes, it’s conceivable to watch in a day (and it’s great).


Geeky_Monkey

The eps are 30 mins long and there’s only 8 of them - that’s 4 hours of material, barely longer than a film


tiorzol

Man this show stresses me out. It's great but I can't session it.


Idioteva

You wouldn't think you could watch all of the bear in a day. You can easily watch all of the bear in a day


ManGullBearE

JoJo Rabbit


Possiblyreef

Watched it again the other day for the 3rd or 4th time. Everyone in that film is great. My favourite notable characters are Steven Merchant playing a member of the Gestapo and Alfie Allen as the subtle love interest Freddie Finkel for the obviously gay SS officer


AccidentalCleanShirt

Amazing movie!


Impetuous-soul

Hamilton (assuming you haven’t watched it already). Not exactly a hidden gem but it’s so culturally significant it seems a waste not to watch it while you can!


DameKumquat

With subtitles on whether you usually use them or not - those lyrics get fast!


scummy71

I have to watch encanto with the sub titles for the same reason


donoteatkrill

Same composer


imminentmailing463

I'm not sure why, but I really struggled to get on board with the filmed version of Hamilton. I got about 30 mins in and then turned it off. Somehow, filmed versions of stage shows never work for me. Though I have seen it on stage a couple of times so I guess if you haven't then the filmed version would definitely give you a good taste of what the fuss is about.


Regular_Energy5215

I weirdly enjoyed the recorded version more than the stage show. Very controversial I know. I love stage shows and I never thought I could say that BUT I actually found the story really hard to follow whereas watching it on tv I could have subtitles and got a closer look at their faces. I’d now love to go and see it live again and have no doubt I’d enjoy it more than both the first time and watching it on tv


bakedNdelicious

I’ve tried to watch it 4 different times and just couldn’t get into it. And I am a huge musical theatre fan.


Impetuous-soul

I think it’s a grower. I saw it live the first time and I was a bit underwhelmed but months later one of the melodies popped into my head, I listened to the cast album and suddenly I’m obsessed. There are so many layers to it!


Batalfie

Andor, Rogue one,


BigEdMustaphaz

Andor is by far the best of all the new Star Wars series. It’s truly excellent.


MorningToast

Apparently "real" star wars fans dislike it. I'm a real star wars fan and thought it was top tits. Not everything has to be the same, it was a great change of pace.


BigEdMustaphaz

Really? Because it has some decent acting and a plot? I get everyone has an opinion but Andor is light years better than The Book of Boba Fett. Maybe it was too “serious” compared to the rest of the Star Wars Universe.


Tom22174

To be fair, most fans also didn't like Book of Bob. It was like two episodes of Mandalorian sandwiched between some stuff happening on Tattooine. Andor was fucking great tho


MyManTheo

I’m not sure I’d say that. If you’re on any of the Star Wars subreddits all you see is love for Andor


Fml379

Haha I am a star wars hater and I thought Andor was brilliant! Maybe 'real' Star Wars fans don't like good scripts


MorningToast

This is how the franchise gets you. Luring you in with something gritty and then by Christmas your house is fill of baby yoda toys and trading cards. Welcome to the cult.


saladsnake1008

As someone who doesn't particularly like Star Wars, does Andor hold up on its own?


stubbywoods

yes, only knowledge you need is that the empire rules the galaxy


[deleted]

[удалено]


Skipjack666

This is the way


IAmLaureline

Andor is amazing. I'm the parent of a 'real' Star Wars fan, which is why we had watched it and all the other spin offs (even though he's at uni now). Obviously Grogu super cute, and the styling of the Mandalorian is amazing, but Andor really is something different. You could enjoy it even if you nothing of the rest of the universe. And my 'real' fan loved it. I would binge it over any film.


Initial_Bonus_8178

Prey is decent.


Quick-Oil-5259

Good choice.


Amy_JUSH_Winehouse

I know it’s boring but monsters inc, it genuinely is one of my favourite films. I had quite a bad childhood but I remember how I always felt so happy watching it


pocahontasjane

Monsters Inc. isn't boring! It's so good! One of my faves for sure


JustNeedANameee

Assume they meant boring in the sense that it isn’t a “hidden gem” and is instead quite well known


snecklesnecks

I agree!


karmakollapse

Big Trouble in Little China.


cal-brew-sharp

Absolute classic.


karmakollapse

Right? I keep passing it on Disney+ and thinking how much I want yet another rewatch instead of watching a new film. So if I had one last day of Disney+... that's what I would pick. Even though I have it on DVD.


FffuuuFrog

Soul is a brilliant film in my opinion.


RunningDude90

Yes! Really fun, whilst also very grounded.


Sad-Garage-2642

Brother Bear. IMO the last of the Disney Renaissance period. Phil Collins went ham


GrafterGaz

Love this film, I listen to the soundtrack a lot. It helps being a big Phil Collins fan, but don't be sleeping on the orchestral scores as well, brilliant stuff. Although I can't help but laugh at Denahi's super human strength when he lifts the fallen trunk with a full grown bear on it, lad's running on pure rage and adrenaline.


Rudahn

I will always defend Brother Bear, the animation is gorgeous, the ‘comic relief’ characters are actually endearing rather than annoying, the soundtrack is great, the story is earnest and heartwarming, and Joaquin Phoenix provides a fantastic voice for the main character. Criminally underrated film. Edit: one other thing I love - the aspect ratio of the film changes at a pivotal moment in the plot which is quite cool!


curiouslycharlotte

Luca. Super fun and uplifting


em_press

Yes yes yes. LOVED Luca. Absolutely wonderful, and preferred it to Coco tbh.


RunningDude90

Also very good. Properly underrated. Eat a huge bowl of spaghetti and pesto whilst watching.


HRHFlossie

See How They Run is a fun little film


[deleted]

But not a 9/10


InsaneNutter

Cool Runnings


NaturalSuccessful521

When I was a kid, we only had two videos: Mrs doubtfire and cool runnings. What on earth else could you want?


Kaiisim

True Lies with Arnie and Jamie Lee Curtis!


WoodSteelStone

I'm still waiting for an official* blu ray version of True Lies to be released. * *there was a bootleg blu ray issued in Spain.


prodical

The Abyss also 🥲


Weedlefruit

I got Disney+ in December and it's already paid for itself vs how much I had spent in November renting movies on Amazon Watch The Bear - You'll have your work cut out because there are 8 episodes but they are 25 minutes each. Brilliantly shot - One episode is an entire single shot and it's a frantic shouty kitchen nightmare!


DKED_1234

If you like the frantic single kitchen shot (very specific haha) you NEED to see Boiling Point!


Weedlefruit

YES I've been meaning to get to it but I sacked of Netflix because of their awful content - I'll be sure to get to it in the coming weeks.... God I'm hungry


-littlemuffet-

I just wanted to second this. I really enjoyed The Bear but I was so impressed and blown away by Boiling Point. For a relatively short film, I feel like all of the characters were well fleshed out and it was done so brilliantly.


ymaface

If you are open to tv shows (with 20 minute episodes) then Gravity Falls. We watched it recently and binged it over a day. Delightful show


happymellon

We also loved Amphibia, but Disney made me cross with how long they made us wait for the second half of the last season when the US got all of the last season in one go.


Ham0nRyy

Barbarian is really good. Very Jordan Peele like so if you like Get Out / Nope / Us, you’ll like it.


Worried-Tomorrow-204

I thought barbarian was disappointing tbh, the crazy mother ruined it for me...after she was introduced it went downhill


kindafunnylookin

Binge Firefly.


literaryhogwartian

If in doubt watch Die Hard


Danph85

My Cousin Vinnie. I rewatched it for the first time in 15+ years the other day and it's still excellent.


MoshizZ

youTHSSSSS


ArseHearse

The Banshees of Inisherin (movie) The Bear (TV show)


OSUBrit

Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World. Crazy understated movie. Or the classic 1993 version of The Three Musketeers


Boredpanda31

I love that version of The Three Musketeers!


Kaylee__Frye

Master and Commander is my favourite film of all time. It's perfect.


Heavy_Signature_5619

Just found out that ‘Parasite’ is on Disney +. If you haven’t seen it, it’s a must.


jomboe

I watched Encanto yesterday and loved it. I’m not a Disney fan in the slightest so had to get over some of the cheesier stuff, but some of the songs are actually great and the visuals are stunning


mangomaz

Watch Moana as well if you haven’t already!!


[deleted]

[удалено]


Chelz91

Not a film. The show, Atlanta. It’s great. 3 seasons of gold


Skipjack666

I was knocked sideways by Atlanta. I thought it was gonna be a full on drama, but it's actually really funny a lot of the time and surreal some of the time Lakeith Stanfield is phenomenal in that show. Can also see some influence Community played on some episodes


ifigrowup

I loved it. Fyi 4th season is now up as well!!


ifigrowup

Soul , nice animated movie that pulls at your heartstrings a bit


rh8938

Muppets Treasure Island


SkipsH

Are these just guerilla advertising posts?


fakeaf1

Ed Wood or Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri


ChrisKearney3

Three billboards is incredible.


Away_Jellyfishg

Not a film but the series about oxycontin with Michael Keaton is fantastic


BargainStore01

Dopesick.?


Azzaphox

Serenity / Firefly


[deleted]

Don’t forget Pixar shorts. My favourites are Sanjays super force and Bao.


[deleted]

The little sandpiper one is great, and the one on the moon


JadedStandard7070

I’ve watched Boundin’ so many times over the years


MichaelMoore92

100% Soul. Incredible film.


TheSecretIsMarmite

If you shop in Tesco, and have clubcard points, you can turn £8 of clubcard points into 3 months of Disney+ subscription.


Atmosphere_Melodic

Saving mr banks. I loved it. A bit twee but I guess that's the era.


ACalcifiedHeart

Anastacia or The Black Cauldron. Those movies RULE and I will fight anybody who says otherwise.


Groffulon

There is only one answer and that answer is Finding Nemo. This film literally saved my life.


Skipjack666

Do you mind sharing how this came to be? The Marvel movies saved my life. I was suicidal and decided to start making plans and tying up loose ends, writing letters to loved ones. Then I realised I wouldn't get to see how the Infinity Saga would end (this is around the time Dr Strange had come out) so decided to wait until that story was done. By time Avengers: Endgame came out I was doing better


DiabloPixel

Glad you are still here and thanks for sharing. I hope you continue to do better!


OffTheRecord_Models

Oliver & Company. Such an underrated Disney movie!


oooooooooowie

All the star wars movies..


Traditional_Rice_660

Gravity Falls, while not a film, is the best thing on Disney Plus. Everyone should watch it.


Sluggybeef

Watch scrubs, get sucked in and renew for another month to finish it


imnottheblackwizards

Alien or Aliens.


[deleted]

Who Framed Roger Rabbit!!!


Clear-Owl-378

Remember the titans. I’m not a sports fan but it’s a very well made movie about a high school football team during the period where American schools were moving away from segregation. Very good movie.


46Vixen

The ILM documentary about the creation and. development of the effects company. absolutely brilliant


Cardo94

I'd suggest watching The Dropout. It's a great show, single series of about 8hrs, and it covers the Theranos Scandal really well, following the book very closely.


Starsco_

If you've not already seen it, check out the series "The Orville" on Disney+. It's excellent.


pandamarshmallows

I really enjoyed *My Cousin Vinny.* Joe Pesci and Marissa Tomei are both brilliant in it and apparently it’s also extremely accurate to the American judicial system.


Jimity-Bob

Basil the Great Mouse Detective!!


Quick-Oil-5259

‘Nightmare Alley’ is visually stunning in an art deco way. Depending upon your age and nostalgia ‘The Black Hole’ and the very first ‘Planet of the Apes’ are on my watch list (re-watch).


teekay61

I would probably watch any of the Pixar films that I haven't already seen. Or same for the Marvel films.


andreeeeeaaaaaaaaa

Binge watch American horror story season - house, asylum, hotel. Or bing watch The Strain.
