What Was the Last Movie You Watched?

The movie: Braven. An action thriller about a son and father who have to protect their family at a wilderness cabin from a group of drug runners.
 

The Mule starring Clint Eastwood on Netflix. At first I thought it was so-so and then it got very good. Produced and directed by Eastwood as well. About a man who pursued his dreams and neglected his family for many years and then changes.
 
The Aeronauts?
Based on a true story about the first humans in 1862 to go up approximately 35,000 feet in a hot air balloon. A good adventurous movie with some true to life facts. Some of the true facts are beyond courageous but I don’t want to ruin it in case others decide to watch it.

Sirrocco with Humphrey Bogart - one of his early ones maybe but a classic bogart - he was kinder and more caring strangely enough and helping the Syrains fight against the French who were running Syria - so accurately historic too!!

I watched "Captains Courageous." A 1937 film with Spencer Tracy giving a warm wonderful performance as the Portuguese fisherman in the Rudyard Kipling story about a young spoiled rich boy who falls off his father's ship and ends up being saved by a fishing boat crew. Freddie Bartholomew is the star. Best child acting I've ever seen.

We watched a British 1982 mini-series, "Barchester Chronicles"

The Barchester Chronicles, a BBC miniseries, is adapted from two mid-19th century novels by Anthony Trollope. When a crusade against the Church of England's practice of self-enrichment misfires, scandal taints the cozy community of Barchester when their local church becomes the object of a scathing report about the use of church funds. Consequently, an honorable middle-aged clergyman (Donald Pleasence) is forced into moral crisis and a conflict with his son-in-law, a pompous archdeacon (Nigel Hawthorne) and his youngest daughter's beloved (David Gwillim). The arrival of a new bishop (Clive Swift), his domineering wife (Geraldine McEwan), and a devious chaplain (Alan Rickman) - who may be hiding secrets - add to the dramatic scheming and complex power struggles among a colorful cast of characters.
