Like 1950s and 60s. There are very few awkward moments you have to sit through and there are several excellent ones to pick from! Try anything by Powell and pressburger or billy wilder!

I was so incredibly delighted by 'Jewel Robbery' that immediately after, in the span of 3 days, I have watched 4 other films starring these 2 (that being William Powell and Kay Francis) (+ 2 other 1930s comedies of a similar type [yes, I have a lot of free evenings this week lol])!
I hope that quickly conveys just how fun a watch this is! How charming the performances, how lovely the costumes, how silly the premise and how wonderfully committed the film is to it! It does exactly what it needs to and dares to do nothing else unnecessary!
If you haven't gotten into old movies I think this one might just do the trick!
If we're gonna live in a hellscape echo of the 30's we might as well marvel at the movies they made, and get a good dose of empathy for all those who watched this in the theater back then.
(S/O to the director btw, who helped people flee Germany!)

if you buy some superglue and a pack of (strong) magnets you can make almost anything of a certain size into a magnet for your fridge! I don’t really like pins because idk what to do with them and have discovered just gluing a magnet to the back of them and putting them on my fridge! I had this epiphany while making clay magnets—an idea my friend had for a party at her house.

I’ve compiled a couple:
- qpdf for renumbering pages (like when the first 10 pages are in the preface and are numbered i, ii, iii, etc.). You have to know how to use a terminal for this one.
- Briss for splitting facing pages (like in a scanned book)
