What Was the Last Movie You Watched?

Just watched Last Night in Soho at the theater. It was great. Loved the British 60's music soundtrack and the plot. Very involving, and the plot twist at the end was surprising. Excellent movie!
 
The Hanging Tree 1959, with Gary Cooper
A cut above normal westerns, due to the romance potential of the two leading actors, otherwise another a format western.

Also, saw an episode of Gunsmoke with Festus appearing in a solely romatic lead, long before he became Festus
His face is craggy , but he was not an ugly man, can act too

The Invention of Lying (rated 6.4 - free)​

http://www.hbomax.com Ricky Gervais writes, directs and stars in this inspired conceptual comedy set in a world in which lying -- even the concept of a lie --does not even exist.Everyone -- from politicians to car salesmen -- speaks the truth and nothing but, with no thought of the consequences. But when a down-on-his-luck loser named Mark (Gervais) suddenly develops the ability to lie, he finds that dishonesty has its rewards. In a world where every word is assumed to be the absolute truth, Mark easily lies his way to fame and fortune. But lies have a way of spreading, and Mark begins to realize that things are getting a little out of control when some of his tallest tales are being taken as, well, gospel. With the entire world now hanging on his every word, there is only one thing Mark has not been able to lie his way into: the heart of the woman he loves.

Long Post:
On this Veterans Day, watched " Paths of Glory." in WW I
for third time
1957, with Kirk Douglas (who did not posture or grit his teeth)

1. French General sent his troops to take a strongly fortified hill, his troops falted, due to enemy fire.
The General ordered his own artillery to fire on his troops, which would force them forward;
the captain of artillery refused to fire on own troops.
The general consider the troops to be a 'lower form of life,' he was enraged that the attack had felled, as it was a reflected on his leadership.
He demanded thirty soldiers be executed or cowardice as examples to the survivors of the attack.

2. Cooler heads prevail, 'The press will crucify us if we shoot thirty troops.'
We will select three men, by lot, have a court marshal all events will be proper. The verdict was a given...

2.B Deals with prisoners in prison (given 24 hours to live) lot's of soldier's tears= 'Why me, I did my duty?'
The execution

3.Last five minutes, the French troops that survived are in a beer joint;
the owner trots out a pretty German girl to sing.
The girl sings, the troops jeer because she is a German.
The beer, the girl singing slowly brings forth feelings the soldiers have not allowed themselves to feel: the horror of what they have
encountered the horror of what they have done, the horror of what the enemy has done to them, the horror of knowing they must return to this horror and most important-thoughts of home.
 
I used the Pluto app. to watch the movie called School Ties this morning.

It's about a Jewish boy who enrolls in an all boy high school in his senior year in order to get into Harvard later.

He meets with prejudice from some of the others.

I enjoyed this movie very much. The acting is very good.

I love comedies.. going to watch.
 
Ghost with Demi Moore and Patrick Swasey--great love story and movie! I've seen it a few times, makes me cry. Saw it on network tv.
 
Just started watching "The Song of Lunch" with Alan Rickman and Emma Thompson on Amazon Prime. Haven't even gotten 2 min into it but I am already hooked as Alan R is voicing-over the poem which the 2 actors are living out.. *That VOICE*

If I could get Alan Rickman as the man giving directions on my GPS I'd never get out of the car lololol 😁
