What Was the Last Movie You Watched?

I am not a Tommy Lee Jones fan, but do like Clint Eastwoods' work. The movie kept my attention and for the time it was released (2000), I thought it was pretty authentic with some Hollywood thrown in. I like the other actors, James Garner, Donald Sutherland and of course Clint Eastwood.

I like Clint Eastwood's work, too. Have watched a lot of his movies.
 

Settled in to the Movie Stand By Me last night
Those four boys bring back a flood of memories ever time I watch it
About the forth time for me
Well directed and written


Anyway, I was listening and half watching a ways into the movie when something caught my eye
The kid who lost the coin flip was in the grocery store, and Bruce Kirby (the store keep) was expounding when I saw it


My freaking fish right behind him!

I've been packing that thing from shop to shop for decades
And it's in my new shop now

An ol' guy parted with it after I remarked how much I liked it...thirty years ago

It's just blown/molded plastic, and not all that old (light beer), but it always has a place in my shop

...and in my heart, since the ol' guy is long gone
Wish I coulda shown the movie pic to him

Last night on channel AXS,watched one of my favorite movies'Murphy's Romance" '85 starring Sally Field,James Garner,Corey Haim,,Georgeann Johnson,Dennis Burkley,Brian Kerwin
"Emma'{Field} is recently divorced woman,moves with her 12 yr old son{Haim} to small AZ community to start her new life. She starts business of training/boarding horses at her rented place. She meets the laid back town pharmacist"Murphy" who is a widower{Garner},sparks fly between the two
Great chemistry between Field&Garner,Martin Ritt directed the movie,Carole King wrote music.Garner got his 1st Academy Award nomination for his performance
 
In truth, most of the movies Janet and I watch are on Roku channels, and they are forgettable, although not bad when we're watching them. "East Side Sushi" was memorable, although it had a lightning fast ending that took away from what went before it.
 
Last night on Turner Classic Movies,watched'Young Frankenstein" '74 Mel Brooks funny parody of Frankenstein movies
A wonderful all star cast,Gene Wilder{co wrote screenplay with Brooks},Madeline Kahn,Cloris Leachman,Peter Boyle,Marty Feldman,Kenneth Mars,Terri Garr. Gene Hackman in an unbilled cameo as the blind hermit
I hadn't seen this movie in quite awhile,still made me laugh
 
Watched the movie Bringing Out the Dead tonight. I attempted to watch it once before but couldn't because I wasn't in the right mood. All I can say is it was entertaining and I like Nicolas Cage so I watched it to the end this time.

When my daughter got married I bought her DVD's of her favorite movies,and I also loved them. So she gave me a few to watch whenever I wanted to. Last week me and Hubby watched Arsenic and old Lace with Cary Grant and last night we watched Young Frankenstein. I must have seen both movies 100 times and love seeing them. Today she brought over Sleepers and Hubby and I will watch it soon.

I love Arsenic and Old Lace -- it's a true classic and still fun to watch.

I really liked Sleepers. I have probably seen the other movies, too, but can't recall.
