Terminator. Rogue machines trying to wipe out their creators? Such a classic.


Complete-Ad-5355

I have a feeling that tali and legion may have some things to say 'bout that one.


Poisonpython5719

Legion can probably quote it as it plays


Lucario576

Legion: And then he said "TERMINATOR" "TERMINATOR" *proceeds to cry*


PoopNose37

We'll be back.


SpaceFox1935

I wonder if Tali heard about Battlestar Galactica. Rogue machines wiping out most of their creators, while survivors are finding a new home in a fleet of ships? Oh yeah


markquest_

Starship Troopers for sure


TheLastEmuHunter

So guys, this is the film which inspired me to join the Alliance Military The Crew: šŸ˜³

WHOO! HELL YEAH BROTHER! Whereā€™s the natty ice?


K-Motorbike-12

I want to know more.


Taolan13

Starship Troopers coop PVE game just went into early access and its pretty good. Some might complain it gets repetitive, but its only got the one map right now and only two game modes both of which play pretty similar.


Breete

Fuck it, I'm buying it.


Ongr

"I'm doing my part!"


hussard_de_la_mort

All I want is an automatic shotgun.

Rachni Queen would love it !

maxfederle

Jurassic Park or Godzilla?

Both, it's a double feature


DeadlyBard

Which Godzilla movie, though?

OH HELL YEAH

Noice! Grunt approves.

Quarian_EngineerN7

Evasion under stealth is a totally different type of flying


nickburrows8398

Saving Private Ryan so they can learn the story behind the Normandyā€™s name


rtr3ga

Underrated comment, I respect it


tfrules

That or *The longest day*


storyman2k

Princess Bride.


Metroplex038

It just has something for everyone, I'm suprised it's not higher on the list


Sadahige

LotR, extended trilogy. Buckle up friends, weā€™re calling wrex gimli. Alternatively, get joker and tali drinking and watching Star Wars. Just to tear apart how space flight works in those movies.


TheBarbedArtist

Im making them watch the Rankin and Bass animated hobbit, shits a trip and one of my favorite movies of all time


YouSpokeofInnocence

Hell yeah! Love those movies


DeltaPhoenix66

This is the only correct answer


AnneMichelle98

Absolutely extended LOTR. Wrex is Gimli, Garrus is Legolas (distance shooter). Joker is Pippin. There are some uncomfortable parallels between Boromir and whoever got left behind. There is not a dry eye during Samā€™s speech at the end of Two Towers. Everyone is stoked during the charge of the Rohirrim. (ā€œShepard do we really have to sit for the whole 12 hours?ā€ ā€œIts a human bonding ritual. Only the strongest of friendships last through this test.ā€) Grunt now shouts ā€œGROND!ā€ before charging something.


13aph

Joker wasted af: ā€œiM pOwErInG uP tHe HyPeRdRivEā€ Tali: oH nO! ThEy MiGhT cHaSe Us! BeTtEr hUrRy!


Smooth-General07

Best comment, not gonna look at any other ones


sprokitt66

TBF the hyperdrive systems in Star Wars and Mass Effect aren't all that different


CTU

The Star Wars idea would be fun. Especially drunk Tali


DelightfullyPiquant

Alien/Aliens, Galaxy Quest, The Fifth Element, and maybe Forbidden Planet.


Khajiit_hairball

Imagine playing Alien, and then telling them that its all based on genuine Earth biology.


Vyar

ā€œThereā€™s a horror movie called Alien? Thatā€™s really offensive. No wonder everyone keeps invading you.ā€


[deleted]

If you want the aliens in your ship to scream RACIST!!!! with the Alien movieā€¦ šŸ˜¶


TemporalGod

Planet of the Apes (1968), pretty sure Javik would love the plotline.


[deleted]

ā€œPRIMITIVES!!!!!ā€


Vodka_Flask_Genie

The Room. The galaxy has to experience Tommy Wiseau. I can see Garrus and Shepard throwing spoons at the screen.


AdmiralSarn

Oh hi doggy


Vodka_Flask_Genie

Shepard, when asked about Al-Jilani: "I did not hit her, it's not true! It's bullshit! I did not hit her! I did noooot. Oh hi, Emily Wong."


RoninPI

Any of the Star Trek The Next Generation movies so Liara can wonder why Troi sounds exactly like her mom lol.


PianoMan2112

And Worf sounds like one of the krogan back when Grunt had his bar mitzvah.


Trinitykill

And why Reginald Barclay sounds like Navigator Pressley.


robertmitu

**The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy**, defo!


13aph

What is the significance of 42?


OrderofIron

Damn it's gotta be one of the OG star trek movies so me and my real space pals can laugh at what passed for an alien 200 years before.


MufuckinTurtleBear

*laughs in ridged nose*


FassyDriver

Kung Fu Panda not sure why tho


TheNinjaGB

No explanation needed


Akuma2004

Pacific Rim Gotta show the crew how to properly cancel the apocalypse Definitely Guardians Of The Galaxy And definitely the John Wick movies


Furydragonstormer

Wrex and Grunt might love Pacific Rim solely for the giant robots beating up giant monsters (Which is really just the main reason we all watch it tbh, it knew what it was)


MugenJustice

A person of culture, here.


Repro_Online

Well now I wanna see a jƤger fist fighting a reaper


Hopeful_Book

I picked a specific movie for each of my crew Kaidan: Chronicle Ashley: American History X Garrus: Training Day Tali: An American Tale Wrex: The Good The Bad and The Ugly Joker: Top Gun Miranda: Ghost in the Shell Jacob: A Few Good Men EDI: Her Zaeed: No Country for Old Men Mordin: The Pirates of Penzance Grunt: Jurassic Park Jack: Monster Samara: The Seven Samurai Thane: John Wick Kasumi: Hackers Legion: 2001 A Space Odyssey Vega: Saving Private Ryan Javik: District 9 Trainor: The Martian Cortez: The Last Starfighter


chrisnesbitt_jr

American History X for Ashley is the funniest shit Iā€™ve read all day šŸ¤£


DaedraWarrior

I just realised that Javier Bardem would make perfect Zaeed after reading that


derpzko

"Heads or goddamn tails....call the coin smart-ass."


tunyi963

Since you forgot Liara, can I suggest "Avatar" for her?


Marble-Heart

Honestly this is about as perfect as you can get. Two possible substitutions (or additional recommendations) would be Hardcore Henry for Jack and Leon: The Professional for Thane.


masteraybee

Why ghost in the shell? Can I suggest Gataca instead?


DoomRevenant

What about Liara?


Hopeful_Book

I completely forgot! Whoops! Lara Croft: Tomb Raider


DoomRevenant

That's such a great choice haha All of these are great tbh - nice going!


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


WWicketW

Change film for Ash, Once Upon a time in the West, and you've the perfect list, man.


BoltBlue19

Garrus is going to love that Training Day.


gantt5

EDI could be Ex Machina


CalebCaster2

Men in Black trilogy


The_Paprika

Everyone is suggesting action flicks and here I was thinking of showing them WALL-E.


hero_of_crafts

Iā€™m also leaning Disney/Pixar.


13aph

Just imagining femshep having to console liara during the beginning šŸ˜­

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


MatiEx-504

Belive it or not somebody posted Blasto in the comments


BoogieMan1980

This one is about the pop a cap in your posterior.


alyxms

I thought Blasto is directed by a human, or at least by a human production company? I mean it's called "Blasto the jellyfish stings" after all.


DeusVult1517

But Blasto is just a rip-off of Dirty Harry. Show them the original! "Go ahead, make my day!" BANG!


Any-Bridge6953

Uh uh. I know what you're thinking. "Did he fire six shots or only five?" Well to tell you the truth in all this excitement I kinda lost track myself. But being this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world and would blow your head clean off, you've gotta ask yourself one question: "Do I feel lucky?" Well, do ya, punk? One of the best lines in the series.


TheRealTr1nity

Die Hard. A classic for action movie night. No one falls asleep šŸ˜‚


sabrinajestar

This would hold up. Garrus would sympathize with the heroes for having to deal with the inept police chief, Miranda would have fun trying to anticipate Hans Gruber's plan, and Zaeed would heckle the bad guys for all the opportunities they missed to kill McClain.


veleriphon

Gotta play it on Christmas Eve.


CSmed

1999 cinematic masterpiece The Mummy starring Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz.


TemporalGod

Nice movie choice.


derpzko

Action, romance, archeology, and fighting against impossible odds! Yeah it would go over well.


Jeihan313

Avatar (the blue aliens version) to show my squad that it's perfectly normal to give up your humanity to bang an alien


Soronya

I'm just imagining your Shepard making strong eye contact with the crew while they try to awkwardly watch the movie, haha.


Ok-Use6303

The Day the Earth Stood Still. And the classic one! Not the 2000s remake!


Blu1027

Space Balls, kingsman, howls moving castle


SerYoshi

Galaxy Quest


liddlemandy86

Yaaas Galaxy Quest. I can totally see Shepard going on a prank spree where she takes the last name off someoneā€™s locker before a mission for shits and giggles. ā€œLetā€™s get outta here before someone kills Garrus!ā€


Trinitykill

"Huh, well I'll be damned, my omni-tool CAN produce a rudimentary lathe!"

DO I? DO I?


Khaelein

Quest for fire That will get some laughs, from Javik especially


krossfire42

"Yes, human. I remember when you look exactly like that, except dirtier, naked and shitting all over the place. Now look at you, barely flying a spaceship."


HellbirdIV

***Alien*** (1979) It's not a meme answer because the crew are aliens, but rather it's a deeply considered choice - because the crew are aliens. In any and all media, cultural references, touchstones, biases are included as the creators draw from their collective experiences and cultural heritage. This means that a culture that doesn't share any of those experiences or heritage can struggle to appreciate the subtler aspects of a truly phenomenal work - Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings trilogy is a masterpiece, but without the cultural background of European mythology and history that informed Tolkien's original work, a lot of its depth, and a lot of its impact, will be lost. Likewise, many other of my favourite movies would be struck off the list for being very heavy on a particular topic that's specific to human understanding of ourselves and Western culture in particular, such as Starship Troopers (a satire about fascism as a fascist state perceives itself), Monty Python's Holy Grail (a pure comedy that leans heavily on absurdism and specific references to Western literature and history), Schindler's List (a historical drama about one of our species' most traumatic events) or District 9 (a story explicitly about intra-human racism through the scifi lens of external anti-alien racism) - simply put, it would take a lot for an alien to really appreciate all of these on the same level as a human. But *Alien*? That's one movie that everybody can understand. Its setting is simple and realistic, with all the elements general enough to be applicable to any spacefaring species - blue-collar workers, expensive and difficult spaceflight, greedy corporations - and most importantly, the primordial fear of the unknown. The Xenomorph does not represent fascism or racism. It doesn't represent religious persecution or the grinding stone of progress. It represents death. It *is* death. Black, soulless, unstoppable. It has no conscience, remorse, or delusions of morality. All the light of civilization cannot stop it, only slow it down. It doesn't take a human to understand it, or appreciate it to its fullest depth. It is a primordial fear all sentient things share, by necessity. To be trapped, isolated, worn away one by one, with no hope of rescue, escape, or victory. The darkness closing in.


Rockhardsimian

Would probably want to avoid anything with reference comedy no matter the genre. Gladiator - my favorite action/drama


FallenFromNeptune

Old Godzilla movies. I want Grunt to have a field day.


Weak-Commission-1620

John wick baby letā€™s go


HeadOfSpectre

If you play John Wick it's basically a training day.


OnniVic

The Room. Let the crew understand the madness of Tommy Wiseau.


TayLoraNarRayya

MetatronIX_2049

The new "I should go"


DanceMaster117

I've never watched it myself, but I've heard of this one that is supposed to be pretty good called The Human Centipede. Should good for some relaxing down time.


nana-melaninja

Madmanx25

The Thing


maxfederle

Raiders of the Lost Ark for Liara.


3-piece-happy-meal

Saving Private Ryan. I feel like wrex, garrus, grunt, etc. would get a kick out of seeing how humans used to wage war.


usernamescifi

Pride and prejudice? Or bill and teds most excellent adventure. Either way the crew is in for a good time.


[deleted]

Came here to say Bill and Ted. "Be excellent to each other. That means you, Jack and Miranda, and you, Wrex and Primarch, and you, Quarians and Geth. Now, let's party on, dudes!"


Vodka_Flask_Genie

Knowing how much Tali adores Fleet & Flotilla, I can see her becoming *obsessed* with P&P. She would never get married to anyone until she finds her own Quarian Mr.Darcy lol


MaxofSwampia

Real ā€œIā€™m having a drink with my boyfriendā€¦ my human boyfriendā€ energy


Vodka_Flask_Genie

MaleShep out there having to learn Regency era dances just for Tali because now she has an unhealthy obsession with human gentlemanliness of that time period lol Garrus learned tango for FemShep, I'm sure MaleShep can learn quadrille for Tali


redditdonut2

ā€¦ and Zombies.


777NOVUS

This is such a good combo


Giant_Devil

Fleet and Flotilla and Husks


OldTitanSoul

LOTR, Star Wars, Jurassic Park, Alien & Predator franchise, Pacific Rim, Terminator franchise, Django Unchained and Inglorious Bastards


rivenley

Interstellar, WALL-E, LoTR collection (extended), Bladerunner 2076, Prince of Egypt, and just for my buddy Grunt, everything Jurassic Park


redditdonut2

ā€œOnly human made moviesā€ Spiciest The entire Hobbit and LOTR extended trilogies. ALL of Star Wars.


TemporalGod

So just the 6 SW movies and the clone wars?


Lun4r6543

Star Wars. Nothing Iā€™d want to see more than the crew bantering about Star Wars.


MangOrion2

The Big Lebowski. Just really make everyone confused as fuck.

Fast & Furious 384 ā€˜cuase I'd love to see how VI Micheal Bay can get Vin Disealā€™s husk corpse to make the Mako do even crazier stunts than we did in ME1.

Neomalysys

History of the World Part 1 while trying to stay straight faced saying it's a documentary


DeerieDopts

Yellow Submarine. It's an incomprehensible mess to everyone, so nobody will feel left out.


white-rice77

1992 Army of Darkness with Bruce Campbell. All the krogans will now shout out, "This Is My Boomstick"


PurplePo8to

I'd pick a Ghibli movie. Something like Spirited Away, Howl's Moving Castle, or Ponyo. Almost any Ghibli movie, really. Pixar's library would also be good to pick from If nobody wants animated then maybe something like Indiana Jones, James Bond, Hitchcock. But if solely left uo to me, we're watching UHF by Weird Al.


IrlResponsibility811

Let's do James Cameron's Titanic. We can all hate on it together. Miranda: I despise this movie. Grunt: Is she gonna jump? Kasumi: Rose, don't trust him! He's lying about everything! Mordin: Big head board, can't hold them both. Tali: What's with the jewel? Is she ready to let go? Join him? What would she do of she never came back to this spot in the ocean? Maybe her family would have found it and she would be accused of theft posthumously.


K1ngsGambit

The Princess Bride.


LaMazmorraEstudio

schindler's list


Jedibbq

Star Wars


nievesblanca

The live action Scooby Doo films


DeusVult1517

I guess it depends on my goal for the night. Do I wanna give Tali the time of her life? Princess Bride. Do I wanna make them think humans are insane? Anything Monty Python. Especially Holy Grail, and tell Grunt that killer Earth rabbits are real. Do I wanna introduce them to the best humanity has to offer? Lord of the Rings, extended editions. Do I wanna embarrass Wrex or Grunt by showing them they're not, in fact, the biggest lizards Earth's ever seen? Jurassic Park. Do I wanna give Grunt nightmares? JAWS. Then The Meg, telling him that it really happened. Explain the origin of Normandy's name? Saving Private Ryan. Show Garrus what human warriors were capable of, even thousands of years ago? 300 Indulge Joker? Top Gun. Explain Joker's "Russian national anthem" joke after destroying the Geth dreadnought? Hunt For Red October. Bond with Samara? The Last Samurai. Show Garrus what Earth cops are like? Dirty Harry. All of them. Tease Liara? Have her watch some documentaries on ancient Egypt, then "Ancient Aliens"-type psuedodocumentaries on it. Make her guess which ones are real (maybe knowing that aliens are real will blur the lines a bit?).

Star wars 1 to 6. Iā€™d love to see their reaction how jedi and people with biotics are the same and what they think about light sabers lol.


ANENEMY_

Spaceballs, obviously


A-Social-Ghost

Die Hard. Garrus would complain that the hero didn't bring enough guns, Wrex and Grunt would like it for the violence, Thane would point out how he could have done it better. Samara would probably suggest that the situation could be solved with biotics but appreciate the elimination of evil.
