What Was the Last Movie You Watched?

Blow on Netflix. Johnny Depp, Penelope Cruz. About a guy with much ambition and talent who gets into drug smuggling. Very good but sad, too.

Blow is a great movie, but, to me, was very disturbing. True story.

Have you seen Narcos on Netflix? The first season is about Pablo Escobar. Extremely well done, I thought...
 

Watched most of Colewell on IMdb but gave up on it. I like a 'gentle' movie but this one had too many irrelevant and unexplained scenes. Simple story of a 65 yr old postmistress who is being forced into retirement before she is ready. Maybe my brain was just not able to pick up the nuance of a modern storyline.

If anyone watches, please clue me in. ?Two truck convoy in the dead of night, Young female hitchhiker who drops in for a meal? How anyone who lives on a large farm does not have some means of transportation?
 

We watched a great movie last night starring Kevin Costner and Ashton Kutcher called The Guardian. It was made in 2006 (don't know how we missed this one for so long) and it's about Costner training Coast Guard Rescue swimmers. Great movie and highly recommend :)

Watched that years ago, it was good. Daughter and i rented it in '08 or so cause we like both leads and the water visuals. Watched 'The Perfect Storm' back when it was available on DVD for similar reasons. My childhood was spent near, on and in the water but i can't live well in high humidity anymore so i get my 'High Seas' fix vicariously most anytime i can.
 

Crazy Love​

A documentary about a VERY stormy relationship....

Dan Klores' Crazy Love tells the astonishing story of the obsessive roller-coaster relationship of Burt and Linda Pugach, which shocked the nation during the summer of 1959. Burt, a 32-year-old, married attorney, and Linda, a beautiful, single 20-year-old girl living in the Bronx, had a whirlwind romance, which culminated in a violent and psychologically complex set of actions that landed the pair's saga on the cover of endless newspapers and magazines.

I saw an analogy of this era when big money radio was involved in crime syndicates, with today's economic troubles.....will corruption and greed ever end?

An electronics expert creates a huge bookie broadcast system for his crime boss, and takes over operations when his boss is murdered. His greed leads him on a deadly destructive path.
 
Last week I saw Top Gun: Maverick with Tom Cruise. A friend wanted to see it, so I joined her. It was entertaining, like the first Top Gun.
Before that, I haven't been to a movie in about four years. I tend to only watch those I am interested in, not simply tune into one to pass a couple of hours. It's got to be special.:)
 
We watched The Offer series on Paramount plus and enjoyed it immensely. As a result we watched The Godfather I and II. Incredibly well made movies, well edited, fabulous acting. We watched Al Pacino go from the all American boy to a cold hearted gangster. Chilling performance.

P.S. The Godfather is 50 years old! Yikes! Still holds up, though. Doesn’t seem as all dated, unless you consider the don’t drop the F bomb like they do today.

It is long but we enjoyed it. After we watched it my DD would tease me about having things in common with Forrest. You know the thing in it about him being on fringes of historic events and meeting famous people? And the fact that he took people as they were, didn't prejudge them. That's what she meant and she wasn't totally wrong.
 
When the electricity was out in the hotel earlier this week I watched the movie 'Harvey' on my portable battery DVD player, but unfortunately it was not the old version of the movie that I expected, but some remake from the 1990s. I am not sure if it is good or not because after being disappointed that it didn't have James Stewart, I fell asleep.

I watched this from your link last night. Good movie....very different!
 
Just watched 'Into the Labyrinth' with Dustin Hoffman. A foreign film. About half of dialog is English, but since i use CC all the time due to hearing issues the subtitles to foreign dialog worked for me.

I would be remiss to not give a trigger warning:
This is a very dark, layered movie. Also 2hrs and 10 minutes long. While there is some on screen violence among adults, and violence toward children is at heart of the plot (mostly talked about and implied not shown), it is basically a psychological thriller/mystery. My favorite kind-- it kept me doubting what i was figuring out till almost the reveal at the end.

Crazy as it sounds, it is beautifully filmed, the play of light and shadow during some 2/3 of the scenes contrasted with brightly lit hospital room scenes, diverging and converging revelations play with what the viewer perceives as real. Which fits with one sub-theme of the movie.
