I just got the book in the mail that you recommended, " The Secret life of Inanimate objects" and it sounds fascinating!

The book is a fascinating read.
Makes a person think about so many of those inexplicable things that happen along the journey through life.

Thanks for the recommendation! Looking for movies for the Thanksgiving holiday, and this looks like a winner!
 
I have a recommendation: Hell in the Pacific

Not as hellish as it sounds. Quite entertaining, even sometimes comical, beautifully directed and extremely well-acted by the only 2 performers in the film, Lee Marvin and ToshirĹŤ Mifune, who portray 2 officers from opposing armed forces, the USA and Japan, stranded on a deserted jungle island at the height of the Pacific Conflict of WWll. Enemies who must learn to cooperate, IF they can set aside the war horrors they've experienced.
 

A River Runs Through It 1992​

I loved this film.
It is a 1992 American drama directed by Robert Redford and starring Craig Sheffer, Brad Pitt, Tom Skerritt, Brenda Blethyn and Emily Lloyd.
Set in and around Missoula, Montana, the story follows two sons of a Presbytarian minister, one studious and the other rebellious, as they grow up and come of age in the Rocky Mountain region during a span of time from roughly World War 1 to the early days of the great depression, including part of the Prohibition Era.

I'm glad you enjoyed it. I thought it was long on beautiful scenery but short on plot but maybe I was having an off night. It happens a lot lately.

love this movie,never get tired of watching it,great cast based on the book by Norman McLean
 
Willow -

One rarely gets to see midgets playing in movies, but Willow has its share. This movie is fantasy, magic, and
overall entertaining - it's about a special baby that is rescued from an evil queen by a midget farmer. I think the story is by George Lucas. Ron Howard directs at the helm. Plenty of action and thrills. We watched it on Amazon Prime (also available on Youtube). I particularly loved the fine acting of Warwick Davis.

The Novitiate. 2017
Spanning over a decade from the early 1950s through to the mid-60s, Novitiate is about a young girl's first initiation with love, in this case with God.
Raised by a non-religious, single mother in rural Tennessee, a scholarship to Catholic school soon finds Cathleen drawn into the mystery and romanticism of a life devoted to the worship and servitude of God.
I thoroughly enjoyed this movie.
 
The other post specifically asked what was the last movie you watched. Not whether you would recommend it.
The last movie I watched has nothing to do with what movie I would recommend.
My recommended movies are years old.
Totally different to the last movie I watched.
