We love movie recommendations here at Polygon. Whether it’s horror, sci-fi, action, comedy, thrillers, or just the best of the year, we’re always trying to introduce readers to new and exciting movies they’ll love. But now we want to find the perfect movie for you. (That’s you.)

Pete Volk (he/they) is Polygon’s Curation Editor, with a particular love for action and martial arts movies.
That’s why we have this regular open thread dedicated to helping you, our dear readers, find the perfect watch. Looking for a sci-fi movie that will make you contemplate the wonders (or horrors) of the world? We’ve got you. Looking to brush up on world cinema? What about some comfort food? We’ve got you there, too.
From 3:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. EDT, I will be in the comments section down below answering your questions and fielding requests for what you should watch at home. This is also a great place to share what you’ve been watching, if you want to talk about that with your fellow Polygon readers! Participation is very welcome, even without questions.
A little bit about me, your curator: I’m Pete Volk, our 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’ve watched 63 from 2024 so far).
Some highlights from my movie watching since last time: Targets, the first two Beverly Hills Cop movies, and rewatches of Michael Clayton, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, and Resident Evil: Retribution.
Now it’s time to turn it around to you. What would you like to watch this month (or what are you planning to watch)? Leave a request in the comments and I’ll get to it between 3:30 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. EDT. Details help — let me know what you’re 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).
An example of a good query from last month:
