What Movies To Watch Before Spider-man: Far From Home

So, You're Gearing Up for Spider-Man: Far From Home?

Awesome! But wait! Hold your horses (or should I say, spiders?). Are you really ready?

Everyone says you need to re-watch the MCU. Blah, blah, blah. But let's be honest. Is that the only way?

Okay, fine. Watch Spider-Man: Homecoming. Duh. And maybe Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame. But that's boring!

You need to understand the REAL Peter Parker. The pizza-loving, awkward teenager. We can do better than MCU homework.

Time for some seriously important movie prepping. Buckle up.

First, Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Hear me out! Peter's a high schooler. He wants adventure. This movie is pure adventure.

Plus, that skipping class vibe? Very Peter Parker-esque, if you ask me. Fight me.

Next up: EuroTrip. A bunch of teens bumble their way through Europe. Sound familiar?

Okay, maybe the humor is a bit…crude. But the awkwardness? The fish-out-of-water feeling? Spot on!

Don't forget National Lampoon's European Vacation. Okay, I'm seeing a trend, alright?

Cheesy family trip + Europe = Hilarious disaster. Peter's trip is ALSO a hilarious disaster. Coincidence? I think not!

Alright, a serious suggestion. Captain America: The Winter Soldier. Why? Fury! He's a big deal in Far From Home.

Understanding his vibe, his secrets, is pretty crucial. Plus, it's a great action movie. You're welcome.

Ready for a spicy take? Skip Civil War on your re-watch. Yes, I said it!

Peter's appearance is cool, but not ESSENTIAL for understanding Far From Home. Save yourself some time.

Another controversial one: Sky High. Yes, the Disney movie about a school for superheroes.

It's lighthearted and explores the anxieties of fitting in. Peter Parker totally gets that struggle. See? I'm not crazy!

And finally, Spider-Man 3 (the Tobey Maguire one). Hear me out again! It is so bad that it's good.

And what a mess. Peter is dealing with a lot in that film. Plus, you see the whole "evil" side of him.

Look, you could just watch the MCU movies. But where's the fun in that?

My list is about getting into Peter's headspace. The awkwardness, the desire for adventure, the feeling of being overwhelmed.

So, grab some popcorn, queue up these movies, and get ready for Spider-Man: Far From Home.

You'll thank me later. (Maybe.)
