The Omen (1976)
My wife and I watched this movie again this evening and it is one great movie. It's actually more of a thriller than a horror movie with some of the most intense action I've ever seen in a movie. It's superbly acted and directed. I'd give it ★★★★★ out of 5, which I almost never do.

For a good comedy / action / shoot 'em up film, I recommend Kingsman: The Secret Service and Kingsman: The Golden Circle.
The Golden circle contains a great comedy role for Elton John.

A feel-good movie that I watched on my brother's recommendation is The Art of Driving in the Rain, about a race car driver and his dog. You'll need a box of tissues.

The Man Who Would Be King - 1975
The Kipling story with a great cast.
Sean Connery, Michael Caine and Christopher Plummer.
The pairing of Connery and Caine, brings this classic tale to life.

Julie and Julia. It's based on the making of Julia Child's book, "Mastering the Art of French Cooking" and Julie, who took on the daunting task of making every recipe in the book. Great cast with Meryl Streep as Julia Child. Probably considered a chick flick but still a good movie.
Ida is a movie that really stuck with me. It's an International film (Polish), about a young woman on the verge of joining a convent.

The Constant Gardener is an excellent movie and relevant for these times since it's about drug testing and corporate profits during a pandemic.

A poignant film about the last days of Oscar Wilde
The Happy Prince is about Wilde's sexual appetites (his “mauve moments” with street boys) and heavy drinking and druggy ways of a voracious man who was dangerous to those who came close. (“Each man kills the things he loves” – or, as his first lover and final love Ross warns, “he’ll eat you”).
Calling himself Sebastian Melmoth, Wilde leaves Reading Gaol in boisterous high spirits, an “exiled fairy”, but it’s a bitter slide down his trough of despond.
He spent the last three years of his life living in exile in France, where he composed his last work The Ballad of Reading Gaol, about an execution that took place while he was imprisoned there.
Oscar Wilde died on November 25, 1900, at the age of 46 from Meningitis.

I haven't seen a new movie in quite a while. I watch over and over again movies I love on DVD's like Grease, Young Frankenstein, and quite a few others. I am looking forward to a Nicole Kidman movie coming out soon called "Being the Ricardo's" She will be playing Lucille Ball.I just found the trailer.

American Gangster on Netflix, starring Denzel Washington and Russel Crowe.
Excellent thriller based on a true story. I'd give it four out of five stars.

Nightmare Alley, currently showing at the theaters. We saw it on Sunday and there were only two other people in the entire theater. The secret is going to the theater before 1pm. Everyone goes later. Outstanding movie!

I am almost certain I have not seen it.
Though a memory is that Patch Adams was a clown that visited hospitals?
Robin Williams?

Well worth seeing when it comes there. Set in the 40's. A lot of it in the carnival environment. And Bradley Cooper and Cate Blanchett are fantastic.

Is it a Nazi movie? It was directed by the director of Pan's Labyrinth which, from what I remember, had to do with the Spanish Civil War.
No, Hunter "Patch" Adams was a real doctor. Not a typical doctor.

I saw this. I love Sherlock!
I really love Little Dorrit. I have the dvds which are very hard to get. I like the version with Denholm Elliott.Yes, I watched it all...v.g.
Also, check out Martin Chuzzlewit. I love this one with Paul Scofield.
