What Was the Last Movie You Watched?

Ithica (2015)
Directed by Meg Ryan who also appeared in the flick.

Fourteen-year-old Homer Macauley is determined to be the best and fastest bicycle telegraph messenger anyone has ever seen. His older brother has gone to war, leaving Homer to look after his widowed mother, his older sister and his 4-year-old brother, Ulysses. And so it is that as spring turns to summer, 1942, Homer Macauley delivers messages of love, hope, pain... and death... to the good people of Ithaca. And Homer Macauley will grapple with one message that will change him forever. Based on Pulitzer Prize-winning author William Saroyan's 1943 novel, The Human Comedy, ITHACA is a coming-of-age story about the exuberance of youth, the abruptness of change, the sweetness of life, the sting of death, and the sheer goodness that lives in each and every one of us.

Drama, and I love dramas without all the shoot-'em-up, sex, and other nonsense.
 
Last night,I watched part of the annual showing of 'The Sound of Music' which was on ABC sang along with some of the classic songs. What a beautiful voice Julie Andrews once had
Sadly, two of the cast members have died since I last watched the movie

Heather Menzies-Urich who played 'Louisa' died in 2017 age 68 of brain cancer.
The remaining cast stay in contact with each other&with Julie.She&Christopher PLummer have been long time friends
 
Saw "Prom" last night on Netflix. It was all right. I love the three who starred in it (Meryl Streep, James Cordon & Nicole Kidman), which inspired me to tune in. It was worth watching once, but can't see myself going back for a second viewing.
 
This past week I've been watching all the versions of the Scrooge movie that I can find free on Amazon Prime. In one of the very old movies the actors all looked so short, were people that much shorter less than a hundred years ago? Or are movie parts nowadays given more to taller actors? In another version the Scrooge was a much more likeable person in his early days. Maybe I'll read the original Dicken's to find out what came from the original story.
