What Was the Last Movie You Watched?

I saw "The Green Knight". It was intriguing, lush and mysterious but darned if I could figure out what was going on most of the time.

Sir Gawain is my favorite Knight of the Round Table; wrote an extensive paper on that work. Still have the book. I know, folks like Lancelot & Percival better but I'm stuck on Gawain, Arthur's nephew from his favorite sister, which was a big deal back then.
 
Watched 22 minutes of Jane Fonda slut it up in Barbarella, on Turner Classic Films.
I had heard it was a prono film with Hanoi Jane, it was.
 
I watched Chato's Land last night. One of Charles Bronson's best. He only spoke 3 words in it.
I just love a story of justice; a movie is really the only place it's served.
 

The Visit (2015) Free​

"This film documents an event that has never taken place – man’s first encounter with intelligent life from space and explores a first contact scenario, beginning with the simplest of questions: Why are you here?"

This movie poses some very interesting questions and history of the human specie and what/would/will/is ( virus ) happening if faced with an existential unknown. Very good.

 

That Good Night​

That Good Night - Ralph, a once-famous screenwriter, is in his seventies and terminally ill. He has two final missions: to be reconciled to his son, Michael, and, secretly, to ensure he is not a burden to his wife, Anna, as he goes "into that good night". 2017 Stars: John Hurt, Sofia Helin, Max Brown, Charles Dance

 
We watched "A Boy and His Dog" last night. I haven't seen that movie in over 40 years. I took a few girls to see that movie as a first date. If you know the movie, you can imagine what sorts of responses I got from my friends when I told them I took a girl there as a first date. Actually none of the girls were put off by it.

Since I've only be with my wife for 38 years, she hadn't seen it before. She was fine with it.

Before i invest 90 minutes, is the the SF story where our hero has to make a choice?
 
Final Account (Netflix DVD)

This documentary features interviews with people — the final generation — who were witness to and even participated in Hitler's Final Solution. Many were children at the time. Some were townspeople who knew what was going on but did nothing. I'm not sure what they could have done. Some were willing participants in the atrocities claiming they were "just following orders."

 
All day&night yesterday,Turner Classic Movies were showing a few Robert Redford movies in honor of his 85th birthday.
Last night I watched one of my favorites'Out of Africa' '85 which I hadn't seen in a few yrs.His co star was Meryl Streep,she played Danish writer,Karen Blixen who marries not for love,moves from Denmark to a Kenya coffee plantation,falls in love with British adventurer,Denys Finch-Hatten{Redford}. At times during the movie,I couldn't understand what she was saying,her accent was so believable

The time comes when a choice must be made.

Is it worth your 90 minutes? Tough to say because I don't know you. It may not be as you only watched 22 mins of Barbarella, which I did watch all of, but it was a long long time ago, and far far away. I'd say a Boy and His Dog is a better movie, but it was also part of my past that I didn't mind revisiting.

There is a 3 min preview on Youtube, but I didn't post it because I thought it gave too much away, just in case there was someone else out there that might like to watch it.

Speaking of Jane Fonda, Cat Ballou is a better movie than both--IMO.

High Plains Drifter (on Amazon Prime), staring and directed by Clint Eastwood.

That was a good movie, but was he a ghost or what? :unsure:
