2001: A Space Odyssey
Kubrick takes a ride beyond human intellect. Greatest film ever made.
The Irishman.
I like film, almost to the exclusion of radio and TV. There’s a lot of movies that rank #1 for me personally. In the hundreds. Depends on mood at the time. If I watch Cuckoo’s Nest in a certain frame of mind, I don’t care for it… Remember “Dr. Sardonicus?” There’s a lot of B and C movies that are number one now and then. It is quite impossible to call one film an everyday favorite. It’s kind of like trying to pick out a favorite flashlight. I can, but tomorrow it may be different.
I saw Jojo Rabbit (2019).
I love this movie.
You have to know what happened in World War II to fully appreciate the film, but if you do, it's a real treat.
The music is great, and the acting superb.
The script is amazingly good, and the movie is very funny and has heart.
If you don't know already, the director adapted the screenplay, played the role of Hitler, and is Jewish.
He's directed some other great movies including Eagle vs Shark and Thor: Ragnarok.
His portrayal of Hitler is done really well, though he didn't really nail the mustache.
Of course that's just a minor detail.
I saw it last weekend. I have mixed feelings about it. I think it was a gutsy, artistically bold and creative movie to put together. I can’t fault the quality of the acting, filming and direction. Maybe it’s because I’m a student of history, and WW2 history in particular, that I had difficulty laughing at the portions of the film at which I was supposed to laugh. Maybe I have known too many people with numbers tattooed on their forearms to be entirely happy with the way any kooky comedy about genocide is put together.

Regarding Jojo Rabbit:
I know about the atrocities of war, but I also do not take life too seriously, and I can find humor in even the darkest of situations.
I thought the movie handled the material very well, though not everyone enjoys everything.
I always liked “Hogan’s Heroes”…
Monty Python & The Holy Grail
I saw Summer of 84 (2018).
This movie is amazing.
This horror mystery has a lot of great suspense.
Much of the movie is Hitchcockian, though updated for modern times.
The ending of the movie is just perfect.
The music is excellent, and the acting is good.
I wasn't expecting such an enjoyable movie, and it was a nice surprise.
American Psycho
The Searchers - John Wayne , Ward Bond , Natalie Wood
I saw Primal Fear (1996).
It was recommended in the other movie thread.
This film is excellent.
The acting is superb, and the music is decent.
Edward Norton is absolutely great, and his part in this movie has some foreshadowing for his part in Fight Club.
There are a few twists in the movie that are done quite well.
Check it out if you like courtroom dramas or mysteries.
A Bridge Too Far
No country for old men. My wife doesn’t understand why i have to watch it at least once a month. Come to think of it, neither can I! Cold pursuit, the predator, and hotel artemis follows right behind
Anton Chigurh. What a character, so well played by Javier Bardem. I really wished there was a sequel that focused more on him. But wow, once a month? I see it about once or twice a year, sometimes just certain scenes.
So given how you’ve seen it so many times, I imagine you must have thought about how Moss could’ve taken out Chigurh and lived. My beef is about how stupid Moss was with the case. You never keep money in the original case in which it was found! Tracker be damned. If I was him, that cash would’ve gone into a duffel bag, after a thorough check of each bill stack (verify all money is authentic, check for any foreign objects).
Agreed, a great movie. Edward Norton really shines—quite impressive. Geer gives a fine performance too.
I saw Inside Man (2006).
It's very good.
The acting is excellent, as is the music.
It's not your typical bank robbery movie.
Figuring out what is really happening made the film all the more interesting.
It's a great mystery movie.
