Some of my favorites include:

  • The Terminator
  • The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
  • The Blues Brothers
  • Caddyshack
  • Jurassic Park

Hmm, just noticed my list is similar to the OP.

Another one of a kind movie. Timeless.
Scent of a Woman

A masterpiece. 9/10
Reservoir Dogs (1992)
With insane camera work of Andrzej Sekula

Jaws.

Another must see masterpiece. Das Boot (1981) 10/10
Directing, acting and camera work is brilliant. Watching that movie you have claustrophobic feeling being trapped with those man deep under sea surface. When one of most experienced sailors, Johann breaks and wants to leave a boat 200m under sea level you want to leave boat with him.
I saw that movie many times, gives me thrills every time.

I recommend to watch uncut edition.

The Untouchables. The staircase scene was ahead of it’s time in my opinion.

American Psycho
Training Day
Breaking Bad - El Camino (+ the show)
Hell Or High Water

Delicatessen

Fantasy, dark humor, poetic

I saw Crawl (2019).

I really like this movie.

The music is excellent, and the acting is very good, especially for a horror movie.

The plot is pretty simple, but the movie is entertaining to watch -- it's not boring.

I actually cared about the main characters.

The title of the movie is very fitting, which is a nice touch.

Finally, the CGI is done well, which is great for a creature feature.

Truly an excellent movie. That long steadicam shot was ground breaking. It inspired a few others to leverage it, as with “Birdman.”

blues brothers

the jerk

animal house

YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN

I saw Deliver Us from Evil (2014).

This horror movie is done very well.

The acting is top notch, and the music is great.

The plot is a bit generic, however the movie is executed excellently.

It's kinda weird watching Joel McHale in a serious role, yet he did a great job as did the other actors.

There is an intense scene that seems to drag on for too long, but otherwise I really like this film.

Dirty Harry,
It worked for it’s time frame. And probably pulled S&W from the brink with M-29 sales alone.
You couldn’t find one for love more money for years and year after that.

When it came out, I had a lab partner in Chem, that looked just like. And I mean exactly like,
Andy Robinson – The Scorpio Killer charcter. Even down to his hair style.

I saw the movie the first night it was in the local theater.
I told Jody (my lab partner) to dress in combat boots, and whatever the character was wearing at the time (I don’t remember anymore).

I had him stand just outside the movie theater exit after the movie was letting out.
You should have seen the looks of the faces of the audience when they spotted him leaning against a light pole just outside.

Are your feeling lucky today?
All the Best,
Jeff

I always liked Andy Robinson, up to and beyond DS9.

And his daughter’s pretty hot, too. :heart_eyes:

Fwiw, see “The Visitor”, which has a well-deserved 9.2 rating on imdb. She and Tony Todd created perfection.

I saw Hamilton (2020).

This Broadway play was recently televised on Disney+.

This play is amazingly good.

As expected, the acting and music are top shelf.

The play is two hours and forty minutes long, and it's packed with tons of dialogue and singing.

In other words, there is a lot of content, and it's done very well.

This is one of the best musicals I have ever seen, and I like musicals.

The play is also very witty.

My advice:

Catch this play if you can.

I saw The Hunt (2020).

I really like this movie.

It's part action and part horror.

The movie has a lot of politically charged language in it, but the film doesn't take itself seriously, politically speaking that is.

The action sequences are done very well.

The actress Betty Gilpin does an excellent job as an action star.

The acting is actually not too bad, and the music is good.

Usually the acting in action/horror movies isn't that great, but this movie is kinda special.

I think the movie would have a better score on IMDb if it didn't have the politically charged language.

Just don't take the movie too seriously, and you'll probably enjoy it.

I saw Palm Springs (2020).

This movie is amazing.

First of all, I have some background to establish.

The movie was not actually filmed in Palm Springs, but that doesn't bother me.

Also, I live pretty close to Palm Springs, so I'm extra glad that I enjoyed the movie.

This movie involves a time loop like Groundhog Day, but the two movies are not very similar in other respects.

The acting in Palm Springs is excellent, and the music is good.

Groundhog Day is a better movie, but Palm Springs is very entertaining and has heart.

There's a guy on the local NBC affiliate that reviews movies for a living, and he recently called Palm Springs the best movie of 2020 so far.

I haven't seen nearly as many movies as that critic, but I really liked the film.

my top three:

1. 2001.
2. original King Kong.
3. Blazing Saddles.
