1. Knives Out (2019)
A twisty whodunit that turns everyone into a detective. Pause halfway and have everyone name a suspect.
2. The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014)
Wes Anderson's fast, colorful caper; light, funny and visually unlike anything else.
3. Back to the Future (1985)
A classic that works on every generation. If someone in the group hasn't seen it, that's your excuse.
4. Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle (2017)
Big, silly adventure for nights when the group is tired and just wants a good time.
5. Inception (2010)
For groups who love the after-movie debate. Don't close the room when the credits roll.
6. Parasite (2019)
Comedy, suspense and a punch to the gut; the room goes quiet together and has plenty to say after.
7. Get Out (2017)
Horror with a mystery at its heart, and moments you'll want to yell at the screen together.
8. Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018)
An animated film adults love as much as kids, packed with jokes and striking visuals.
9. The Intouchables (2011)
A warm, funny French film about an unlikely friendship, for when the group wants something uplifting.
10. The Hangover (2009)
A raunchy comedy for groups of friends who like their jokes unfiltered.
11. The Lizard (Marmoulak, 2004)
An Iranian comedy whose lines people still quote; perfect for a Persian-speaking group.
12. The Tenants (Ejareh-Nešinha, 1986)
Dariush Mehrjui's classic comedy, a safe pick when tastes in the group differ.
