What Was the Last Movie You Watched?

I generally don't watch movies unless they're old musicals.. but the closest I've come to watching a movie lately is watching the whole 9 episodes of Squid games back to back over 3 nights on Netflix
 

"I Could Never Be Your Woman" ( 2007- rated 6.0 - free )

I found it very interesting that a major theme in this movie was how censoring out "offensive" or "controversial" issues from the television show company Michele was part of, and then her and her daughter stretching the acceptable age difference in their love interest, dovetailed.

Commercial bias and romantic age difference bias. Pretty well conceived and produced.

1:36:58

Actors
Michelle Pfeiffer
Paul Rudd
Saoirse Ronan

Rambo: Last Blood 2019
Rambo tries to find peace on his one man ranch in Ariz
Then he has to rescue a girl and 'stuff' happens as it always does to Rambo.
He still runs around with that big knife, doing ill to others.

I don't know if Rambo's rough, worn appearance was due to no makeup, but the guy's seventy years old.

Was that on youtube then?
 
Henrik Ibsens play "The Lady From The Sea" is on YouTube for free (rated 7.0)
It is a British play and I understood almost every word. :) I agree with the rating. If you do watch it you might want to read this review of the Play. It is a total spoiler, but if read afterwards it will amaze you. it is long, about a 15 min. read :

"Words and Pictures" 2014 with Juliet Binoche and Clive Owen. A battle between which has more worth, words or pictures.

Paintings in the movie were all done by Binoche. If you liked "Mr. Hollands Opus" and "Au Chocolat", you'll like this more.

Filled with so many wonderful and famous quotes from writers, artists, and poets.

I watched it on HBO via free trial. It's also on others at a price.

That's most definitely fat fiction.
High fat diets are the cause of diabetes, not the cure.
I've been on a low fat diet all my life, especially the last 50 years.
Less then 5 and certainly less than 10 percent of the calories that I eat come from fat.
As usual, big pharma keeps pushing the wrong narrative to keep on increasing their profits at the detriment of society.

Just because it has worked for you, doesn't prove that the science of the high fat, low carb diet is "fiction". It actually says that in the film, if you recall. The evidence is close to conclusive that a high carb low fat diet, pushed by the food industry, and medical industry, was/is wrong. I would listen close to these scientists before claiming that they are telling lies.
 

Before The Streets (2016 - free rated 6.8)​

This movie 's theme is about how a tribal culture deals with crime and deep feelings of shame, guilt, depression, justice, etc....

"Before The Streets - Shawnouk, a young Atikamekw, commits a crime. After escaping into the forest, he returns to his community, where he tries healing by investing the native traditionalism."

1h 35min

 
Yes, Cruella (not animated) is on the Disney Channel. My daughter added me to her account for free.
She had a free trial and decided to extend it through the Christmas Season

The movie will probably be snubbed for the Oscars due to being a Disney production (and half comedy, half drama)
but it deserves Oscars on many levels...
Emma Stone for best actress, set design, costume design, soundtrack (lots of great oldies)

I've never seen such a lonnnnggg list of credits at the end! It took an army to make it happen!

I'm going to start watching some of these movies on YouTube. Until you posted about several of them I was not aware YouTube had movies!,,😻
 
This one I am putting here because it was a coincidence that yesterday some started a thread topic "Marijuana". It seemed rather positive about it, and then later I was going through the recommended YouTube movies when this came up.

Secret Ingredient | Free Drama Movie | AWARD WINNING ( 2017 rated (7.8!) - free )​

So I clicked to read the blurb. I watched it and it was GREAT! It is a Mongolian film so there are English subtitles ( I slow it down to .75 if i need
to ) and the plot was extremely positive for Marijuana being a "miracle" flower. The acting is supberb and the music and social ambience is quite interesting ( being Mongolian ). I had one of my "coincidental synchronicity" moments...so I will post the link also to the "Marijuana" thread. :)

"Secret Ingredient - An underpaid train mechanic gives his father a cake made of stolen marijuana to relieve his cancer pain, but he is cornered by the criminals who are searching for their drugs and the nosy neighbors who want a recipe for the "healing" cake.

Secret Ingredient (2017) Director: Gjorce Stavreski Writer: Gjorce Stavreski Stars: Blagoj Veselinov, Anastas Tanovski, Aksel Mehmet Genres: Comedy, Drama Runtime: 1h 44min Country: Republic of Macedonia Language: Macedonian"

 

You People ( rated 6.7 - free )​

"You People" is a satirical comedy about modern stereotypes, chronicling the life of an intelligent, white-washed, African-American college student, adopted by a liberal Caucasian family, who has a crisis of identity while growing up in bible belt, white suburbia with his urban hip-hop culture obsessed, white best friend. When an attractive girl on campus approaches the black protagonist based on his "presumed" stereotypical traits, he has to undergo a "cultural transformation" with the help of his white companion to tap into his inner "blackness." With a fresh, topical examination of identity, an eclectic mix of minority characters (e.g. Asians, LGBT, Hispanics, etc.) playing against type, and a strong emphasis on self-discovery, empathy, and tolerance, "You People" aims to tell a conventional story, unconventionally."

I loved it!!!
