What Was the Last Movie You Watched?

Fathers and Daughters on Prime. 2016, 1 hr. 56 min. Starring Russel Crowe. A very good movie I enjoyed very much. About the troubled life of a father and daughter.
 
Post Mortem, a decent horror movie but it would have been better had some of the repetitive parts been cut out and if the story had been developed a bit more.
 
The Finest Hours; 2016; Chris Pine, Casey Affleck, Ben Foster; 1 hr., 57 min.; based on true story; if possible, watch the closing credits for photos and more info. about the real characters; excellent!

Also, Zulu; 1964; Michael Caine, Stanley Baker, Jack Hawkins; 2 hrs, 18 min.; also based on true story; also excellent!

There went a strange nostalgia hit, I had his book, "Twixt Twelve and Twenty," back in junior high school. I remember him saying that neatness was very important for girls if they wanted boys to like them. Hmmm.

I appreciate you gave the running time of the movie. It's important information for me.

It's one reason I tend toward the old black and white classics. Last week I watched, "Cash on Demand'' 89 minutes, "Another Man's Poison," 90 minutes, and "He Walks By Night, 79 minutes. My attention span seems to be limited these days, but I like to watch something on Tubi or YouTube just before bed.

Best of the week: "Waterloo Bridge" 1931 version, 81 minutes. Young chorus girl in WWI London, loses her job and descends into "work" picking up men on Waterloo Bridge. She accidently meets a naive young American soldier who doesn't recognize the signs of her occupation, falls in love, takes her to meet his aristocratic English relatives -- all rather against her will as she falls reluctantly in love with him. Tragic and raw. Amazing footage of the bridge during war time.

LOL I was a disorganized mess in my younger years and am here to tell you I never had a problem attracting members of the opposite sex or fielding marriage proposals.

Maybe I'd have had a problem attracting Pat Boone, but he wasn't my type anyway.
 
DH & I rewatched Tombstone (DVD) because our internet went out. Stellar movie with great cameos.

I'd forgotten Robert Mitchum narrated the beginning and end, but his voice was so distinctive that I recognized it fairly quickly. It made me think about old RM movies - I'd like to revisit some.

Are there any Robert Mitchum fans here who can throw out a move recommendation or two?
