Let's recommend some movies

[jfkheat]

One of my favorite movies is World's Fastest Indian. Anyone that is into motorcycles or cars will probably like it.

I just saw The Post.
Terrific movie.

I've yet to see Dunkirk, but here's a few that come to mind:

City of God (great movie)
When we were Kings (favorite documentary)
Ex Machina (sci-fi)

[familytoad]

I only watch really old movies.
I’ll get around to seeing these newer movies like Dunkirk when I’m old (too late?)

Last night I re-watched “ Christmas in Connecticut (1945)“ which is a screwball comedy / part romance movie.

The night before was another comedy starring one of the greatest actors ever, Edward G. Robinson “A Slight Case of Murder” (1938) , a few nights before that was “Larceny Inc” (1942) also with EGR. He had a real comedic knack even though he was more known for dramatic roles.

I have a few days off during the holidays, meaning I can stay up later and browse the offerings on my Turner Classic Movies app.
Beyond this site and email that app is what I use this IPAD for the most!

Ex Machina? Is that the one with Oscar Isaac?

Agree, a great movie. And I'm not into motorcycles or cars. Just thought it was a great story with Anthony Hopkins as some old fart being able to accomplish something when the establishment told hm he couldn't.

Hell or High Water. Think it came out in 2016. Awesome movie not many people saw.

I always recommend Almost Famous to people if you are a fan of 70s rock and music journalism.

Anything by Richard Linklater.

Some less obvious films I really like:

Atomic Cafe (doc on the Cold War)
They All Laughed (Bogdanovich's NYC in the early 80's)
A Midnight Clear
Mountains of the Moon
Any film by Whit Stillman
Costa Brava (circa 2000 indie film from Catalunya)
My Man Godfrey
Johnny Stecchino
The Gods Must be Crazy

[the 'stache]

I love They All Laughed. Really underrated homage to the screwball comedy. John Ritter, Audrey Hepburn (her last film), Ben Gazara and Dorothy Stratten (also her last film). Dorothy looked absolutely luminous. I think she would have been a huge star. She had real screen presence, and she was very serious about her craft.

Peter Bogdanovich is somebody I'd really like to meet. His encyclopedic knowledge of film is pretty much legendary at this point. Also, What's Up, Doc?, Paper Moon and The Last Picture Show rank among the finest American films of the 1970s.

I love the movie, The Game with Michael Douglas and Sean Penn.

Just be sure to pay attention, as there is a lot going on in the movie.

+++++ two great movies.

[glynparson]

Wonder Boys
Everybody Wants Some
Hidden Figures

Not a great movie but a movie that is greatly enjoyable if you don't need cinematic genius with your films:
Midnight Madness, is as enjoyable as any movie i have ever seen but it is silly 1980s style humor. Something for which I am admittedly a sucker .

[RichardSimon]

Just saw The Big Sick,, if you like really good rom coms then this is for you. It scored a 98% on Rotten Tomatoes.

I thought Hell or High Water was probably the best movie I’d seen it the last five years at least. I throughly enjoyed it.

After I made my post, I did a few errands around the house. I went to watch some TV and the movie was on Showtime at that very part. LOL
