What movie should me and fiance watch tonight?

Today is the first day of our holidays. Tomorrow we pack to go to Germany. We're trying to get the baby to sleep since 8pm, now it's 11pm and it looks like he will fall asleep soon.

We could watch some movie on Netflix which is not too long, like 1.5 hours. Which movie do you recommend?

Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves.
- Truly recommend this, fun and touching.
- Yes, this one will likely be so much more fun than you are expecting. I loved it.
- I wasn't expecting much but really was one of my fave films of the year.
LOTR extended edition, any or all of them
- Didn't read the time piece. Super Mario Brothers movie is pretty good
  
  Already seen it with the older daughter, it was pretty good.
- I've already seen it.
  
  So? You only watch good movies once...?
In the end the baby fell asleep at 11:30 pm so there was no time for any movie left, we fell asleep exhausted. But we downloaded some of your suggestions so perhaps one of us will have time to watch something on the plane.

Thanks for engaging and giving so many different tips!
- Why on earth would anyone want to go to Germany?
  
  It's a nice country and my parents live there. We have a baby and they never met him so we're going for three weeks over Christmas so they can meet him and us.
  
  Food, beer, friends, nature, family, work, snow there is probably some more reasons people would like to go to Germany and some just go to visit the concentration camps.
This is spinal tap, Metallica's some kind of monster or This is Anvil.

It's the same film, one is a mocumentary, the other is an unintentional comedy because no one is self aware, and the other is a self aware comedy documentary.
- I've already seen it.
  
  All three? Damn, you've got good taste
I heard Barbie is pretty good. It's only 2 hours, and it premieres on HBO Max today.
Does Netflix have The Man From Earth?
- Sadly no, I guess I'd need to find it somewhere at the seven seas.
  
  Try movie-web.app
  
  If you're sailing anyways...
  Moon with Sam Rockwell
  Midsommar
  What we do in the Shadows (the original movie, not saying the tv series is bad)
  
  For "seasonal appropriate" - White Christmas
  For "silly appropriate" - Any of the old "Road To" movies.
  
  To find where a certain movie is available I use Just Watch
In the Tall Grass is very good, though it's 1h 41m
Palm Springs
2012 Ice Age of course.
- We'we already seen it.
Baby Oopsie
- This looks terrifying :D
  
  It's... a lot of things
how are you traveling? snakes on a plane; airplane!; speed; planes, trains and automobiles; air force one; pelham 123..., all good 'pre-trip' movies, and each worthy of a re-watch.
Home Alone
8-Bit Christmas is, in my opinion, an instant classic. A lot of people still haven't seen it since it's pretty new, but definitely worth a watch.
You could watch Pitch Black (not sure if it's on Netflix). Vin Diesel kills it as the main character
Probably too late, but I recommend Klaus on Netflix.

- I actually wanted to see it but fiance doesn't want to watch movies which ale < 7 on IMDB. I guess I'll need to watch it myself some day.

The Yugoslavian film Underground, if you can find it. Hilarious and heartbreaking by turns, with a splash of Magical Realism.
Happy Gilmore
