Falling In Love is one of my favorite films, ever! It's even mentioned on my profile here on SF. I've watched it a dozen or more times, liking that it's a true love story without having to be explicit. Now, that's romance!
What Was the Last Movie You Watched?

Oh yes, I agree. It's a great movie! This was the first I've seen it. Unless I did and forgot....lol

True story
On the 29th of February, 2013, 15-year old Jadin Book took his own life after being bullied and ridiculed by his classmates.
Jadin was openly gay and this was the reason why he became the victim of physical and verbal abuse by his peers.
According to the movie, the school did little to support him and so, feeling vulnerable and alone, he decided to end his life.
Not wanting Jadin’s death to be in vain, Joe decided to honour his late son’s memory by walking across America and visiting schools and community groups to raise awareness about the effects of bullying.
He planned to walk the 3,985-mile journey from La Grande to New York City. He chose New York because this was the place Jadin dreamed of moving to after leaving school.

The only movie I've watched a 'zillion' times is Zulu, and as I mentioned in the "I need to go where?" thread, my late wife and I drove a day out of our way to get to Rorke's Drift......just the two of us there...1983.

Tonight we watched The Glass Slipper with actors Leslie Caron and Michael Wilding. It's a Cinderella style story with plenty of music, dance, and a timeless theme that is enchanting. Every time I watch it, I end up dreaming, feeling good, and humming the tune. We have the CD for it.

Deja Vu 1997. A romantic movie about an American woman meeting an English man and falling in love instantly. Trouble is that she is engaged and he is married. Mysterious circumstances surrounds their relationship. I liked this movie a lot and might go back and watch it again. Amazon Prime video. Was free.

A well done, but deeply disturbing documentary. True story scarier than most fiction...

Looks like that's available on Amazon Prime. I'm going to have to check it out. And you're right... truth is often stranger than fiction.

"Escape From Pretoria", on Netflix, with Daniel Radcliffe. If you like prison escape movies, this is a good'un! It's set in South Africa during Apartheid.
What channel was it on?
Try watching stuff that's not about killing or killers. I rarely watch those kind. I like more 'gentle' movies and there are plenty of those movies and series.

Also highly recommended ... this one's also a prison escape flic.
and this ear one's about road rage taken to the extreme ... pretty tense!

I am the same, @Ruthanne ! I think my PTSD makes me more sensitive to these types of movies than the average person!
Yes, I have that too and some movies are so disturbing. That's why I look for gentler things to watch.
I think that's Prime. Thanks.

I was flipping through the channels when I came to the movie, "Miracle On 34th Street." I stopped and watched a few minutes and then decided to watch the dang thing. After that movie was over, "Santa Claus" came on with Tim Allen and I started watching that and again, I watched the whole movie. Wasn't there a black and white version of "Miracle On 34th Street?" If there was, I never watched it.

Last night we started and quit Three Pines on Prime. It’s based on novels by a senior lady in Quebec. DH had read a couple of books and was looking forward to them. 3/4 through one show he’d had enough. It was more like a Hallmark setting with bad acting.
Read a review with comments from the novelist. She wasn’t too pleased either. She was supposed to have some input; found out that was just a token gesture.

The Road dance.
KIRSTY (Hermione Corfield, The Halcyon), a beautiful young woman, is coveted by all the young men of her island village in the Outer Scottish Hebrides. Dreaming of America, she meets a man who shares her aspirations and promises to make them a reality.
As the Great War breaks out it is decided that the men must leave for battle and in their honour, the islanders organise a grand Road Dance. That night Kirsty is assaulted and left with a secret which her overzealous community renounces, and she is faced with a life-changing decision.

For me, the title of this thread might as well be, “What movies have you *finished* recently?” I’ve started several, including “A Rumor of Angels” on YouTube and “Solved” (was it Amazon or YouTube?) and apparently, my tolerance level is way down…. Quit about1/3 of the way through on both

I saw it many many years ago and have searched for it since. Maybe I'll find it someday. Why did you need subtitles?The Conversation, starring Gene Hackman and several other big name stars. I'd seen it before, but never understood what it was about. What a difference subtitles make!
EDIT: Oh! I found it on YouTube!
