The Thief of Bagdad is a 1940 British Technicolor historical fantasy film, produced by Alexander Korda and directed by Michael Powell, Ludwig Berger and Tim Whelan, with additional contributions by William Cameron Menzies (who had designed sets for the original 1924 version vehicle for Douglas Fairbanks) and Korda brothers Vincent and Zoltán. The film stars Conrad Veidt, Indian-born teen actor Sabu, June Duprez, John Justin, and Rex Ingram. It was released in the US and the UK by United Artists. Georges Périnal, credited as George Perinal, won the Academy Award for Best Cinematography, Vincent Korda for Art Direction, and Lawrence W. Butler and Jack Whitney for Special Effects (marking the first use of the "manual bluescreen technique"). Miklós Rózsa was also nominated for Best Original Music Score, a first for a British film at the Academy Awards.

How to watch it together from different places
Each of you opens The Thief of Bagdad on your own account. Herae keeps the two players in sync, so a pause or a skip happens for both of you, and puts a video call in the corner of the film so you can see each other react.
