SirCranksalot Posted April 20, 2020 Report Posted April 20, 2020 a stage play on film really---all in one room.
AKRISONER Posted April 20, 2020 Report Posted April 20, 2020 Uncut Gems on Netflix was very very good. Its a rollercoaster and makes you feel really uncomfortable. Thats what makes it awesome. The girlfriend and I have dove into The Wire...we didnt like it for the first 5 episodes and then all of a sudden we realized what the heck was going on...and weve been hooked ever since.
Dutch01 Posted April 20, 2020 Report Posted April 20, 2020 I just watched Vice - Christian Bale did a great job.
misfish Posted April 23, 2020 Report Posted April 23, 2020 I have lost count how many times I have watched , Remember the Titans. It is so powerful and so meaning IMO. Just put it on now, AGAIN .
Old Ironmaker Posted April 25, 2020 Author Report Posted April 25, 2020 The Lives and Deaths of Sonny Liston. When I 1st watched it I posted the suggestion for all to see it. It isn't a documentary just about boxing. I highly recommend it. I have watched about every genre of motion pictures including a few silent movies. Thank goodness for TCM, Turner Classic Movies. Everything from the silent movie era to about the mid 70's. I like it as a host talks about the upcoming movie and often has a sit down with some of the actors in the previous movie. Some actors are in their 90's now and still have tid bits about filming the picture. My wife said if the internet and all the TV feeds go down there will be civil unrest on our streets such as we have never seen before.
Bill Posted April 25, 2020 Report Posted April 25, 2020 My 9 year old grandson and I watched The Love Bug on Friday night. We both enjoyed watching it. He had never watched it before. If you have young children or grandchildren I think they would enjoy watching this movie.
DanD Posted April 25, 2020 Report Posted April 25, 2020 (edited) Watched 7 Angry Men that was suggested here and yes it is a good movie! Just watched "Machine Gun Preacher" Staring Gerard Butler. Thought it was going to be some sort of shoot em up type movies; but it wasn't. Yes their are some gory scenes; but the movie is based on the real life of Sam Childers and his work in Africa. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sam_Childers Edited April 25, 2020 by DanD

A list of about 10-12 was Provided---no idea of quality of service or cost.

A list of about 10-12 was Provided---no idea of quality of service or cost. It comes on our Bell Satelite TV package. One of the best things about it is that there are zero commercials during the movies. As I type TCM just finished showing the original version of the James Cane novel "The Postman Only Rings Twice." Staring Lana Turner, John Garfield and Cecil Kellaway 1946. The more modern version of the movie had Jessica Lange in the Lana Turner role and Jack Nicolson in the John Garfield role (1981). I know this trivia because the host told viewers that when the movie ended. A very steamy movie for it's time. Now the host is describing the next movie. I remember all these actors going back to silent movies as Mom was a veracious reader and movie buff. We had channel 11 CHCH from Hamilton back before colour TV hit our home and they showed the old classic movies almost every night. We would watch them together and she taught me about who the actors were in detail. Edited April 25, 2020 by Old Ironmaker

npt1 Posted May 7, 2020 Report Posted May 7, 2020 Great movie about bad cops and drugs, the BEST car chase scene ever, better than the one in Bullet. The ending will knock your socks off.. "To Live and Die in L.A."
