Seen a Good Movie Lately?

[D. Bergin]

"Whiplash" was great.

Best movie I've seen recently is "Banshees of Inisherin".

If you like character studies, gruff Irish lingo, and the caustic chemistry between Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleason...then you'll like this one. If you don't care for any of those things...you won't like this one.

Not as fun and a lot more serious then "In Bruges", but still pretty good.

Will gladly recommend some movies to everyone.

The Pianist with Adrien Brody was excellent. It's a bit of a heavy watch, surrounding a Jewish Pianist attempting to escape the Nazi Regime in Germany.

Trumbo starring Bryan Cranston, about Dalton Trumbo and the group of Hollywood writers/producers that were blackballed because of the Red Scare in the United States. Absolutely stellar cast, does a great job of capturing that old Hollywood feel.

And if you wouldn't remind me recommending a documentary, I would strongly recommend, Sound City, especially if you are a big fan of Late 70's/Early 80's classic rock. It's all about this one recording studio that had the likes of Fleetwood Mac, Tom Petty and REO Speedwagon, record there.

Actually, I found Renfield to be pretty amusing.

I'll recommend two series found on Netflix.

"Black Mirror" and "Criminal" both series with great storytelling.

Would also recommend "Flag Day" with Sean Penn and his daughter Dylan who does a fantastic job of acting.

I just accompanied my daughter to see "The Flas" - not my cup of tea but she enjoyed it.

I stumbled across a great movie, "Breaking", a true story that is a great watch.

"Based on the 2017 real-life story of the late Brian Brown-Easley, a decorated Marine Corps veteran in dire financial straits resulting from systemic failure. Easley is concerned over the effects of this on his daughter alongside the prospects of homelessness to the point of threatening to blow up a Wells Fargo bank unless he receives payment he is owed from the Department of Veterans Affairs."

This should be on your "must watch" list.

we're Colin Farrel fans, that sounds like a good recommendation.

my wife quotes movies, like Space Balls. I'm not a movie quote guy. She thinks I was born in a cave.

I Love the Movie Dodgeball A True Underdog Story and quotes from it

[Rad_Hazard]

As far as new movies, if you like Wes Anderson, Asteroid City is a great film and is currently in theaters.

[Casey2296]

Ex Machina too.

we saw Asteroid City on July 4th. What a strange movie! we liked it, because we like strange movies.

Since we're talking about Indy films, have you seen MOONRISE KINGDOM?

Ben Stiller is a national treasure. His fat camp movie HEAVYWEIGHTS made for an entire generation of kids who adore him and his comedic style.

A movie I can occasionally quote is Major Payne. "Do I need to tell you the story of the little engine that could, again?" My wife will quote, "Johnny, I can't feel my legs! Charlie, you ain't got any legs!"

I have not seen or heard about The Verdict. But I have seen Cool Hand Luke, and Butch Cassidy. My dad always talked about The Hustler.

Tonight my wife said she never seen Butch Cassidy and would like too.

My mom recently asked me if I knew the title of his racing movie, but I haven't a clue.

re: Butch Cassidy... just coincidentally we were out last night at a restaurant that has some Bolivian items on their menu which led to a round of some funny quotes from the movie.

Oh, watch The Verdict. You have my money back guarantee on it. Newman was nominated for best Actor but lost to Ben Kingsley for Gandhi. Newman was robbed. The tried to make up for it the next year by giving him BA for The Color Of Money but his performance in that doesn't hold a candle to his work in The Verdict.

BTW..his racing movie is Winning which is also the name of the documentary centering on his long involvement with racing. Both are worth watching.

Enjoyed that one very much. Even more serious is another Gleason film, Calvary. He's just a terrific actor.

The Verdict with Paul Newman is back on Max. I believe it's his best role. His courtroom summation is one of the best pieces of acting prowess you'll ever see.

Yup, saw Calvary awhile back. Gleason is fantastic as usual.

Speaking of Paul Newman. Saw Cool Hand Luke recently. Hadn’t seen it in decades. Great performance in that one.

Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid, will forever be one of my favorite Paul Newman performances. To be honest though, it's hard to find a bad performance by the man.

The Hustler and its sequel, The Color of Money, are two other great ones.

A fine list, David Mamet stories tend to make great movies. Love all Paul Newman Movies. I dont know how the Sting didn't make this list yet.
When I was young I would travel with my Grandfather. Road trips mostly to visit relatives. 3 summers in a row we went to local Drive ins in three differant States, to catch a Movie. And All three years The Sting was playing. It was just as much fun the third year as the first.

Friends of Eddie Coyle is definitely worth watching.
Good Bad and Ugly the crown jewel of spaghetti westerns
And original Producers Movie Gene Wilder Zero Mostel.
