@Sunsy All righty - once I do watch it, I'll definitely think of you. Because I'm a nice guy.

Oh absolutely, the AMC in my area is like 10 minutes away from where I live, to the point where we could just go in whenever we please. That experience of yours does make going out to see a movie a heck of a lot more exciting, I think. Especially if it's a movie you're really looking forward to seeing. It's kinda like how I'd get excited for going on summer vacations and stuff.

Yeah, it's gotta be! I've grown up with Disney movies that have been around a lot longer than I have, after all. lol

@MarioLover92 Given our taste in animated movies is similar, I have a feeling you'll like it. Trolls may start off about a group of cute creatures who love parties, singing, and dancing, but over the course of the movie, the story has some heart to it.

Yeah, it's like you get used to going to the local AMC. I still remember traveling quite a bit to see the Star Wars re-release with my dad, and I still remember that day. Same with seeing Ratatouille, which was the same theater. Funnily enough, that theater became an AMC in recent years. The trips taken made seeing them more special. Even when Trolls 3 comes out November 2023, I have a feeling it will be a fun time, but most likely it will be at the nearby AMC. I think I'll have more memories of the Trolls World Tour trip due to the trip my friend and I took to get there, and chatting during the ride, and visiting a nice little town with an old fashioned theater.

Definitely. Now that I think about it, I think Ratatouille might be the first Pixar movie I've seen in a theater. I think Disney, my first might be Dinosaur during a class trip. Now that I think about it, I'm very happy a Trolls movie is my first DreamWorks movie I've seen in a theater, amazingly enough, it's the one that originally skipped theaters too.

Well @Tremblucay: you've convinced me. I'm going to be watching Luca for the very first time tomorrow and I'm very excited. I'll probably report back here once I'm done watching it because I'm expecting a very good time all around!

Lol, glad I was able to convince you to give it a shot, but please be honest with your feedback. 😉

@Sunsy Oh that's good to hear. It does help to have an engaging story no matter what kind of movie it is. That's cool, I haven't seen too much of the Star Wars movies, just a couple of ones from the original trilogy, namely A New Hope and Empire Strikes Back.

I don't recall seeing any Pixar movies in theaters, I wasn't exactly too huge into theaters back then at least, but I've seen Toy Story and A Bug's Life many, many times back in my younger days, lol. I'm sure I still have my childhood VHS tapes somewhere too. The vast majority of movies that I've seen were just at home. Whether they were VHS, DVD, or blu-ray.

@Fizza Have fun watching it! I've seen Luca recently and I loved it.

@Kermit1 I love Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. It's been forgotten to history, unjustifiably.

@Fizza Hope you enjoy Luca, easily one of my favorite movies. Especially since my mother's side of the family is Italian, so I had a good amount of fun with it.

@MarioLover92 It does there's a good story about finding happiness in Trolls. It's also a musical. The characters sing quite a bit, mostly well known songs, but there's two original ones, Can't Stop The Feeling and Get Back Up Again.

Yeah, I'm kind of casual when it comes to Star Wars. I enjoy them, but they never been movies I would rush out and see. I've seen the original and prequel trilogies, and saw A New Hope as a re-release, and The Force Awakens in theaters. They made a new Star Wars, so might as well see it in theaters at least once.

Yeah, VHS was how I saw most Disney and Pixar movies as a kid. The only Pixar movies I've seen in theaters include Ratatouille, Inside Out, Cars 2 and 3, Toy Story 3 and Finding Dory. Disney movies in theaters, I've seen Dinosaur (as mentioned before, class trip), Zootopia, and Frozen II. If you want to count it, the live action Aladdin.

I seem to have a trend, when I like the first on DVD or VHS, I end up seeing the sequel in theaters.

@Gryffin I was able to predict the ending first viewing, I still love the film though. I mean the dinner scene still puts tears in my eyes lol.

Looks like Kieslowski's Three Colours trilogy is getting a 4k cinema release this summer.

They're some of the best films ever made - wonderful performances and brilliant cinematography and lighting.

Personally, I think Blue is the best - and a contender in the best films ever category - but all three are excellent.

I would recommend A Short Film About Killing and A Short Film About Love by the same director, although both need nerves of steel to stay the course

@Rambler What is the common consensus of which one is the best? I always thought Red was regarded as the best one but they are all worth a watch, it's almost as good as the other great French franchise Minions!

@jump it seems to be Red, Blue, White, if only because Red is the most slick, and white is the most like his Polish films (so not slick at all).

Blue for me as it has Juliette Binoche in it, and it's about the healing power of music, and it is almost overwhelming during its first reel, whereas Red is more considered.

...Killing is amazing - you should watch it if you haven't seen it. The colour scheme is astonishing. They filtered out most colours leaving a mushy green residue that infects just about everything. It was a catalyst for the end of the death penalty in Poland, and it is utterly unflinching.

...Love is equally good, but is utterly miserable if that can be seen as a positive.

What's that parkour/ MMA film again? B13? I've seen that loads without actually sitting down to watch it.

@Sunsy Ah OK, gotcha. Good to know. Yeah, I never was the biggest Star Wars guy myself, but I did play a few games like Shadows of the Empire on the N64. That was years ago, though.

Yeah, I think many of us got to see Disney movies with those VHS tapes that they'd release back in the 80s and 90s. Especially in the 90s when Disney started to get mega popular again. That's cool, you've seen way more in theaters than I have, lol. At least we've both seen Frozen II in theaters.

Unpopular opinion: Iron Man 3 is a masterpiece of a film and I'm tired of people saying it's not.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAy there.

I seem to like it more than others as well. Tony's relationship with the kid was both funny and sweet.
Also, Tony having to rely on his smarts instead of his suit for most of the film was a breath of fresh air.

Speaking of Disney films in theatres, the Lion King was apparently the first movie my parents ever took me to, though I was so young I don't remember the trip AT ALL.

I remember seeing The Little Mermaid in a theatre (though I think it was a local theatre showing somewhat older films, as it originally released a couple years before I was born), and I'm fairly confident we seen Lilo & Stitch when it was new as well.
