We love movie recommendations here at Polygon. Whether it’s horror, sci-fi, action, comedy, thrillers, or just the best of the year, we’re always trying to introduce readers to new and exciting movies they’ll love. But now we want to find the perfect movie for you. (That’s you.)
That’s why we have this regular open thread dedicated to helping you, our dear readers, find the perfect watch. Looking for a sci-fi movie that will make you contemplate the wonders (or horrors) of the world? We’ve got you. Looking to brush up on world cinema? What about some comfort food? We’ve got you there, too.
From 3:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. EST, I will be in the comments section down below answering your questions and fielding requests for what you should watch at home. This is also a great place to share what you’ve been watching, if you want to talk about that with your fellow Polygon readers! Participation is very welcome, even without questions.
A little bit about me, your curator: I’m Toussaint Egan, a curation editor here at Polygon. I’m fairly omnivorous when it comes to what I watch, but my main areas of interest are sci-fi, horror, animation, thrillers, and documentaries. Some movies I’ve recently watched and enjoyed are Bitter Lake, The Apprentice, Presence, and The Gorge. I’ve also been rewatching the Harry Potter series with my wife.
Now it’s time to turn it around to you. What would you like to watch this month (or what are you planning to watch)? Leave a request in the comments and I’ll get to it between 3:30 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. EST. Details help — let me know what you’re looking for, some idea of your taste as a viewer, and any other relevant info you feel like sharing (like the streaming services you have access to).
Some good queries from last time:
I’m looking for movies to watch with my 12 year old daughter. She’s into comedies, murder mysteries, and dark themes – we recently watched Knives Out and Beetlejuice. I’m interested in showing her really high-quality stuff with top notch writing and acting.
What are some of your favorite films featuring practical effects? Bonus points for puppetry! I personally love The Thing (the original), Blade Runner, The Dark Crystal, Nightmare Before Christmas, and Labyrinth.
See you in the comments at 3:30 p.m. EST! Fire away your requests in the meantime.
