    Default Non-superhero movies you've seen in theaters the past two years

    Since there's been so much broo ha ha about superhero films taking over theaters, I was just wondering what non-superhero films people here have gone out for. Off the top of my head:

    Cruella
    Respect (the Aretha Franklin biopic)
    The Velvet Underground documentary
    The Sparks (band) documentary
    Meet Me in the Bathroom (a documentary on the NYC music scene of the early '00s)
    Ghostbusters Afterlife
    No Time to Die

    I'm sure there's more, but I can't recall at the moment.
    Keep in mind that you have about as much chance of changing my mind as I do of changing yours.

    There came a time when the Old Gods died! The Brave died with the Cunning! The Noble perished locked in battle with unleashed Evil! It was the last day for them! An ancient era was passing in fiery holocaust!

    King Richard and Cruella are the only ones that I remember. I'd have gone to see a Tom Cruise movie but I never liked Top Gun so I didn't bother with the sequel.

    Another thread makes it easier to keep track of this.

    Odds are pretty good that by the end of Thanksgiving Weekend, I'll add the Fabelmans, Banshees of Inisherin, She Said and Glass Onion to the list.

    Two explanations here about just how many films I see in theaters...
    - I live in New York City, so there are indie theaters that carry independent films, or rerelease older films.
    - I am a power user of the Regal Unlimited service, so it doesn't cost me much to see a given film.
    Sincerely,
    Thomas Mets

    Between Novermber 24th, 2020 and November 24th, 2022, not counting super-hero movies? THE LAST DUEL.

    I feel weird that I seem to be the only person who takes the virus seriously, taking so many precautions. Am I the guy who everybody else laughs about?

    Personally, I generally mask up pretty much everywhere I go (usually I'm one of the only ones), but between that and all the shots and the boosters, I feel fairly confident that even if I do get it (which I've amazingly somehow haven't yet, especially since I work with the public), I should be relatively okay.

    That said, I'll be the last person to come down on someone for taking this virus seriously. Do what you gotta do to feel safe.

    Most of the movies I went to had limited capacity and rows between people while wearing masks.

    And no, I wish more people were like you.

    I saw Glass Onion this afternoon.

    Everything Everywhere All at Once is the only other non-superhero movie I’ve seen in theaters.

    Edited to add … The Fabelmans joins to my limited non-superhero list. Saw it this afternoon. Once I got past the Stan Lee level naming (a guy with the last name Fabelman growing up to be a storyteller is up there with Telford Porter as The Vanisher), I enjoyed it. It was cute.
