We love movie recommendations<\/a> here at Polygon. Whether it\u2019s horror<\/a>, sci-fi<\/a>, action<\/a>, comedy<\/a>, thrillers<\/a>, or just the best of the year<\/a>, we\u2019re always trying to introduce readers to new and exciting movies they\u2019ll love. But now we want to find the perfect movie for you. (That\u2019s you.)<\/p>\n

Each Thursday on Polygon we\u2019ll have an open thread dedicated to helping you, our dear readers, find the perfect watch for this weekend. Looking for a sci-fi movie that will make you contemplate the wonders (or horrors) of the world? We\u2019ve got you. Looking to brush up on world cinema? What about some comfort food? We\u2019ve got you there, too.<\/p>\n

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 this weekend.<\/p>\n

A little bit about me, your curator for this week: I\u2019m Pete Volk, our senior curation editor. I love movies of all stripes, but my main areas of interest are action movies (especially martial arts), classic Hollywood comedies (shout out to the GOAT, Ernst Lubitsch), and keeping up with new releases from around the world (I\u2019ve tallied 152 2023 movies watched and 11 from 2024 so far).<\/p>\n

Last week, I watched the French movie The Animal Kingdom <\/em>(quite good!), the madcap \u201clive action Looney Tunes for adults\u201d Hundreds of Beavers <\/em>(hilarious), and Eli Roth\u2019s Thanksgiving<\/em><\/a> (surprisingly good as well!). I also finished Prime Video\u2019s Mr. & Mrs. Smith<\/em><\/a>, which I enjoyed. This weekend, I\u2019m hoping to catch up on Delicious in Dungeon<\/em><\/a> <\/em>and Monsieur Spade<\/em>, and to rewatch Devil in a Blue Dress <\/em>(and old favorite).<\/p>\n

Now it\u2019s time to turn it around to you. What would you like to watch this weekend (or what are you planning to watch)? Leave a request in the comments and I\u2019ll get to it between 3:30 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. EST. Details help \u2013 let me know what you\u2019re 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). And yes, while this idea is targeted at movies, I will field TV requests, too.<\/p>\n

Some examples of good queries from last week:<\/p>\n

See you in the comments at 3:30 p.m. EST! Fire away your requests in the meantime.<\/p>\n
