I have not seen interesting movies but found interest in the Biographies of Milton Hershey and HJ Heinz on Utube. I have great appreciation for determined common men who would never waiver from their goals. These two men have impressed me. Check out these and be impressed.
 
I just saw this on Netflix. It is intense and reveals a side about Iraqi military and Swat teams that is amazing. You have got to see it.
 
Backstabbing for Beginners
Someone please tell me that this story is fictional.
 
Saw Martha Marcy May Marlene on H BO, heard it was good but didn't do it for me. Today watched Never Seldom Sometimes Always and that was good.

You might like the movie Tucker with Jeff Bridges.
 
This man is incredible. He flew over 400 different aircraft, Spoke German, Was in Germany 1936, Landed a DH-98 a.k.a Mossy on an air craft carrier, survived when his aircraft carrier was sunk by a U boat, interviewed Hermann Goring, test piloted British Jets and MORE............
 
The whole FAMS just sat down to watch The Little Things on HBOMax.
Seeing this for free right now pays for the app for the WHOLE YEAR!
 
I've been watching some great old movies lately. I'm focusing on stuff from the 20's, so I've seen Erich von Stroheim's Greed, Foolish Wives and The Wedding March, and Buster Keaton's Seven Chances. Great stuff!
 
I was disappointed in Nomadland. It was beautiful and interesting, but lonely and sad, little connection between the people... a quiet desperation. Kind of like the essence of 2020 - in a movie.
 
Watched Imitation Game today. I knew what happened to Turing but still gut wrenching to see this brilliant man, who literally saved England, persecuted and driven to suicide because he was gay.

Yeah, I've seen that. Very well done.
By the way, we studied the "Turing machine" in college. Brilliant. Genius really.
 
Just saw Nobody with Bob Odenkirk. Bad fucking ass and hilarious to boot
 
The Courier. 8.5/10

A great British spy movie based on a very true and little known story from the cold war.

Perfect for a rainy movie night at home.

I've seen it and I can't believe it's based on a true story unless you accept that it's been stretched to the breaking point. Some of that shit simply could not have happened.
Great movie though for the entertainment value. I highly recommend it.
 
Trial of the Chicago 7 (7.6/10)- Seemed very Sorkin-esqe with overly snappy and witty dialogue. I admit to having nothing more than a vague knowledge of the true life events. It was entertaining but I doubt I ever watch it again.

Nomadland (7.1/10)- This felt like an awards movie, was pretty slow, especially the first hour. The cinematography was great and fun to see 'real people' in a hollywood production. Frances did a great job and understand why her and the film won, it was depressing and uplifting at the same time. Overall another that was decent but will never watch again and will go down on the long list of big picture winners that people mainly forget about.
 
Just watched a repeat of Waterloo Bridge with Vivien Leigh and Robert Taylor. Hadn't seen it in a long time so i forgot the ending. Great movie. Takes place in England during the early part of WWII.
 
We watched I Love You, Man again last night. So funny. Paul Rudd is awkwardly hysterical.

We watched this last night really good.

 
Have you guys seen The Sex Addict? I hear it's pretty funny. It features Horatio Sanz, Ken Davitian, Bryan Callen and Mary Carey. It's free on Tubi right now but it's also on iTunes, Google Play, YouTube and the rest.
 
Haven't seen that one.

Recently viewed Goodfellas, Casino, Jacky Brown, Lincoln, 30s romcom It Happened One Night. The latter triggered "decency" laws. Claudette Colbert, rebellious heiress, and Clark Gable, journalist, are thrown together and spend several days on the road, sleeping in the same room, albeit separate beds. Shocking!

I've seen that Clark Gable movie at least twice.
 
Forgot to mention French Connection.

Depressing how many movies have essentially no women. At most marginal characters seen solely through eyes of men.

The essential character is always a man. But Waterloo Bridge has a woman as the essential character. I'd say that Gone With the Wind also has a woman as the essential character.
Note how many movies, especially classic ones, essentially have no Blacks in them. Also notice how many movies have no homosexuals in them.
 
Yes, straight, white and male.

I can't really sympathize with a slave owner male or female.
