Keep taste and conduct as separate questions
After watching, choose a moment involving a film opinion and a moment involving a relationship. What does each tell you about Lawrence as the work presents him? Knowing many titles and treating someone thoughtfully are different kinds of behaviour. A discussion becomes clearer when it does not use one as automatic proof of the other.
Avoid turning the evening into a contest over recognising references. Someone unfamiliar with a mentioned film can still follow an interaction, a change of tone or a character's priorities. If a reference interests the group, save it for later and identify the exact work rather than pausing to demonstrate who knows it first.
Notice what work adds to fandom
A video store is a place of employment as well as a setting full of movies. Ask how a customer's request, a task or a working relationship changes the meaning of film knowledge. Use examples the story actually provides, leaving room for the difference between enjoying a subject and fulfilling a responsibility around it.
For an optional conversation exercise, take a real recommendation each viewer has made. What did you know about the other person's preferences, and what question would have helped? The aim is to think about communicating enthusiasm, not to rank anyone's taste or declare a universal list of essential films.
Choose the evening's tone deliberately
The distributor classifies the work with both comedy and drama. Do not assume a teenage protagonist means a children's film or that a comedy label describes every subject it contains. Read relevant content information and let viewers choose whether it fits their mood.
Save Levack's name and the exact title in the shortlist, then check the authorised viewing route and selected edition. A concise recommendation can say "a film enthusiast's video-store coming-of-age story" without giving away the relationship's developments. End by naming one way the film makes enthusiasm engaging and one question it raises about listening to another person. That leaves room to love movies while thinking carefully about the social life around them.

Must I recognise every film reference to join the conversation?
No. Focus on the characters' actions and relationships, and look up a particular reference later if it interests you.
