The Avocado Weekly Movie Thread (06/02)

Movieacados! This week I am in full preparation for surgery mode. I received word that a major surgery I have been waiting for had a cancellation/opening for early June so I jumped on it. While I do not want to have it this is actually good news as I need it and sooner is better than later, so despite everything I am happy this one is finally moving forward and I can move on to the next chapter in my life, I actually have a plan now and things are going much better for me than last week. As for Weekly Movie Threads, I have decided to take inspiration from this and tailor a few threads to related prompts (vague or otherwise) and to write those up a little in advance in case I am otherwise unable.

So as my time off nears I am never one to miss a chance for proper preparations, I will be needing entertainment for my time off and recovery and a lot of it will be simple things like books, comic books, video games, and of course: movies! Movies are a great way to unwind, relax and just enjoy something. Either for the shut your brain off and enjoy the goofy action fun, or to become engaged in a gripping drama or intellectually challenging movie that will enrapt your attention for the majority of the run time, or my all time favourite: Escapism! Whatever the reason for watching these movies the important part is the watching/enjoying/what you get out of it as an end result, and for me I intend to watch a lot during recovery.

So that brings me to this week’s prompt: Recommend me a movie. I tend to favour nerd based genres but also like a little bit of everything especially the off the beaten path and original movies and I am even okay with it getting a little weird. Aside from that, discuss, have fun and what have you been watching?
