I have three movies queued up this friday afternoon. When I come back in an hour after getting a pizza, should I watch

I have two movies queued up this friday afternoon. When I come back in an hour after getting a pizza, should I watch

I have exactly one movie queued up this friday afternoon, and then I have officially run out of movies that I downloaded that one time with a vague commitment to watching them at some point. This makes for a short list this week, and a longer one next week, by virtue of repeating the process with a brand new iteration of "that one time". As one does

And so, one last time: when I get back from getting a pizza, should I watch

Just to have it written down,
and on the off chance it comes in handy on a rainy day where inspiration seems to be a foreign notion,

Escape from New York (1981)
Constantine (2005)
October sky (1999)
Blade Runner (1982/2007)
How to steal a million (1966)
No country for old men (2007)
Smilla's sense of snow (1997)
Kimi (2022)
Emily the criminal (2022)
Beneath the harvest sky (2013)
White noise (2022)

the weekly #FridayMovie poll!

After I press post, I go outside to get a pizza. When I get back with said pizza, should I watch

The day of days, friday, has arrived, and so it is finally time for a #FridayMovie. I present to you these four options, the winner of which will be consumed alongside the customary celebratory pizza
