Have a day of data wrangling ahead of me, so am watching movies while I do it.

I have commenced with Twister, and plan to watch Deep Impact after that.

Other suggestions for hilarious and excellent movies to watch?

Deep Impact is a masterpiece! What about The Day After Tomorrow?

Edit: if I remember correctly, seeing Deep Impact at the movies was my first ever date with my first ever girlfriend. We held hands, they were cold and sweaty

Edit #2. No it was actually The Day after Tomorrow!

Oh my gosh mine was the day after tomorrow too!

I'm digging the disaster movie vibe. The perfect level of bullshit to follow with as I keep half an eye/brain on my data....

The Core is an absolute classic

[–] melbourne_wanderer@aussie.zone 3 points 10 months ago

ooh haven't watched that in ages. Good shout

[–] SituationCake@aussie.zone 4 points 10 months ago

San Andreas would fit the theme.

[–] TinyBreak@aussie.zone 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Armageddon and Independence day.

If you want something more recent, Moonfall is truly. something.

[–] melbourne_wanderer@aussie.zone 3 points 10 months ago

I think with all these suggestions I may have to make Monday a day of data wrangling, too...

Sancta Sangre and Hamon Hamon.

[–] melbourne_wanderer@aussie.zone 2 points 10 months ago

Never heard of Sancta Sangre but it is going straight on my list to watch with a mate who I know will just love it! thanks
