Empire Records just felt good and I think it could pull that off with a crowd.

The Princess Bride, because no-one could hate The Princess Bride!

Haha, it boils down to a few choices for me, including a few non movie series.

My immediate answer: Violent Night. It's such a good, weird Christmas movie with Santa being a badass, an actual engaging story, tons of gore and tons of humor. You can't go wrong with David Harbour either. In my opinion, it has a lot going for it that makes it worthy both in and out of seasonal viewing.

If we COULD choose non movies, just as added fluff to my post, I'd choose either Fallout or Impractical Jokers. A second choice for me would be The Nightmare Before Christmas. It's quick, simple, stylish and a fun watch.

Roller Town. Largely because I'm trying to introduce more people to the fever dream of a movie that is Roller Town.

Free on YouTube, highly recommend if you're into comedy and absurdity. Just go in blind, have fun!

Beyond the Valley of the Dolls

If they can't vibe with that I don't want them ever coming over again

I'm gonna go off the beaten path a little here and go with Jonathan Demme's "Something Wild", chances are the guests haven't seen it and that film is one helluva ride, it's got a little bit of something for everyone - comedy, romance, thriller, you name it.

Well growing up in Utah there's a lot of people that would not tolerate anything. Gotos are Princess Bride, Sandlot, most Disney movies.

Mrs Doubtfire is a classic that's still funny today
