What Was the Last Movie You Watched?

Exodus, starring Paul Newman and directed by Otto Preminger.

This was a great movie, thanks mainly to the way it was directed. Plus there were some good performances, but I think the direction was what made it one of the greatest movies of all time.
 

Those of you who like Emily in Paris must look up Peyton Manning's visit to SNL last week. It can be found on You Tube. After that watch 2019 movie "Official Secrets"! Top notch in my book.

Jojo Rabbit

This was a really good movie. From the preview, I thought it was a made for kids, but it turned out to be kind of a dark comedy for mature audiences. The first half, especially, was hysterically funny. The second half was more serious.
 
Doc Hooker's Bunch, is an independent western comedy produced in Texas in 1976.
"American Western Comedy starring famous actor Dub Taylor published in 1976: Doc Hooker's Bunch -
An old con man teams up with three rowdy women to put on a dancing show and sell his stockpile of fake medicine.
When a gunslinging traveler tells them of a booming gold mine, the group heads west to fortune and hilarious hijinks."
 
Last night I watched The Lucky One on Netflix. About a marine who, while on a tour of duty, finds a picture of a beautiful woman. He credits the woman with saving his life and sets out to find her. I liked it a lot. Good acting, good story.

Thanks, will watch it tonight.
 
Watched "Chocolat" for FREE on Youtube with commercials.
Saw it once a long time ago and enjoyed it just as much this time.
Didn't see much chemistry between Johnny Depp and Juliette Binoche but doable.
Judy Dench was awesome.
 
Not a movie either, Olive Kittheridge on HBO. It‘s a 4 part mini series that was released in 2014. Frances McDormand was excellent, as well as the other actors.

Like Ken, I’m watching the Amazon series Reacher.
 
Not a movie but rather a Netflix series with 2 long seasons: Dark Desire. I liked it somewhat but it was so drawn out I tired of it. About a lawyer who gets into some treacherous adventures. Too much sex for my liking. I really was glad when it was over...lol.
 
Stanley Kubrick's The Longest Day, this morning. At a guess I've seen it ten or more times, but I still spot a little something new each time I go back. Today it was a continuity error, where the female French resistance fighter starts out on the train trestle raid with a Sten, but ends with an M1 carbine rifle. This was one of the rare movies where an early Sean Connery played the comedy relief, just before he started work on Dr. No.

The other movie I found this week on Youtube was a real gem. Spies Never Die, a wartime Japanese propaganda movie (1942 ?) about the heroic Ken Pei Tai (military police) tracking down American and Chinese spies. It was in Japanese, with pretty good english subtitles. I found it to be a fascinating contrast to similar American movies in the same time period. Arigato gozaimasu to whomever posted it. What were the clues to the audience it was the hiding place of a secret American spy ring? Pictures hung on the wall of George Washington!
 
Last movie was "Ordinary Love" and it was totally depressing. So depressing I had to fast forward some segments toward the end. It was about an older couple. She gets breast cancer, goodbye breasts. She goes for chemo, goodbye hair. Her husband shaves off the remaining hair that has been falling out in chunks. My wife died from cancer so this was just too real for me.

So to get away from the above totally depressing film I put on my favourite Hanna-Barbera Cartoons. First, Yogi Bear and his friend, Bobo. They were stealing picnic baskets from the tourists. Yogi pretended that he was a food inspector and of course, he took all the baskets away from the tourists coming to Jellystone Park.
After that there was Snagglepuss who loved to say, "Heavens to Murgatroid" and very often, "exit, stage right."
To top it off for the night there was "Yakky Doodie." He went to Australia looking for a mother and ended up following a kangaroo around.

There was one movie I couldn't finish for the same reason. Called "First They Killed My Father". I'd love to finish it someday but I'll have to be in the right mood.
