What Was the Last Movie You Watched?

"The Little Things" on HBOMax. Despite a great cast--Denzel Washington, Rami Malek & Jared Leto, and a great theme--cops & murders, I found it overlong (I find most movies to be too long) and kind of boring.

Nomadland (2020) with Frances McDormand on Hulu. Based on the book of the same name, it's about a woman who lost everything she had after the Great Recession and is forced to go on the road in an old van as a modern day nomad. She finds various ways to support herself working at low wage temp jobs, moving from place to place to find work and encountering people like herself just trying to survive. Quite a good movie that has been nominated for numerous awards.

I read the book a couple of years ago. It profiles a number of people in this nomad situation, some by choice, some by economic necessity, some because they can't figure out how to keep it together long-term. Quite an excellent book.

I do the same thing, Jujube. Crazy, since the movie wasn't even that great, just fairly good IMO. But I watch it over and over, so maybe I really am acting out the movie! 😁
 
Affliction, with Nick Nolte and Sissy Spacek and other big name stars with a screenplay by Paul Schrader, who also wrote Taxi Driver. Good movie -- not great, but some good scenes and interesting characters.
 
Thanks to J-Kat and Starsong for recommending Nomadland. I had never heard of it before. Excellent movie, which shows an American lifestyle that I had known nothing about before. Frances McDormand is such a great actress!
 
Just finished 'Ace in the Hole' starring Kirk Douglas and Directed by Billy Wilder.
Classic film that's hard to find, but well worth the effort.
Kirk Douglas takes command of every scene and shows just how good he was.

"Appointment For A Killing."
True story of a married man - intelligent, successful, well-liked dentist, who not only cheats on his wife, but also enjoys murder - just for the thrill he got from it. Police convinced his wife to risk her life & get him to confess. I also followed the real-life case on "Court TV."
 
We just watched The Invisible Man with Elizabeth Moss from The Handmaid's Tale. Good job we were sitting on the couch so we could hold hands. If I could I might have peed myself
