User: Hey there! I'm in need of a good recommendation for movie night with my friends.
Assistant: You looking for a comedy, romance, action, drama? Maybe horror?
User: Ok, definitely not horror. Not in the mood to feel disgusted. I think any other category would be fine. Looking for a fun night. Doesn't have to be all "party girl" kind of fun. Just something that we could all enjoy.
Assistant: Hmmm.... What about Moulin Rouge? Musical, romance, kinda crazy editing, interesting mix of modern songs.
User: That's a thought. But it's kinda depressing in the end. Don't want the night to end on a downer.
Assistant: Ok. How about "The Heat" with Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy? Can't go wrong with those two right?
User: Certainly a funny one but maybe a little too foul mouth. I don't know. Maybe I'm looking for something that we can continue to discuss afterward.
Assistant: Alright. Hear me out on this one. It's a feel good, fun and I think there's a lot in it to discuss afterwards.... The Disney Pixar movie Up.
User: Aw man. I won't get past the first 30 minutes. That opening montage always has me crying my eyes out. I just can't.
Assistant: Ok... Going back to Sandra Bullock here. What about The Blind Side.
User: Hmm.... I think you might be getting closer to what I'm looking for. But this one just felt too Hollywood. I think they glamorized the story too much that just makes it a little too saccharin.
Assistant: So I guess Forrest Gump is out of the question?
User: Yeah. That's just way too fantastical.
Assistant: Let me regroup here. So you're looking for feel good, more realistic, discussion inducing and fun.
User: Let me clarify fun. It doesn't necessarily have to be funny. When I say fun, I mean, not a movie where we're cringing how bad it is. Fun can be enjoying a movie that's done well.
Assistant: Hmmm... How about Shawshank Redemption? It's great storytelling. But would you consider this too depressing?
User: Shawshank! That is a great movie. It does get a little dark but I think in the end, you get that feel good moment. Great suggestion.
Assistant: Thanks. Glad I could help.
User: Would you mind looking up the book the movie's based on and picking up a copy?
Assistant: Sure thing. It's Stephen King right?
User: Yeah, it's a shot story within a collection. Was hoping to read it before movie night and then I can discuss differences with my friends.
Assistant: Okie dokie. Will go look for it now.
