What Was the Last Movie You Watched?

I should be too embarrassed to admit to this but we mistakenly started watching, and then kept watching, what turned out to be an 80's after-school-special-type movie on YouTube called The Peanut Butter Solution. Silly!
 

The Yakuza from 1974

ms gamboolgal and I just watched for the first time - The Yakuza starring Robert Mitchum and Ken Takakura released in 1974 and directed by Sidney Pollack
It was abit on the violent/graphic side, especially for 1974, so be forewarned.

ms gamboolgal and I liked it alot, 8 of 10 for us - maybe better....
Do recommend

We watched this most excellent movie earlier this evening...

The Mauritanian is a 2021 legal drama film based on the true story of Mohamedou Ould Slahi, a Mauritanian man who was held for fourteen years (from 2002 to 2016) without charge in the Guantanamo Bay detention camp, a United States military prison.
 
Jacob's Ladder, Tim Robbins -1990

One critic says:
"Jacob's Ladder wrestles with our fear of death, the power of our dreams, and the presence of angels (or are they demons?) in our lives."

Some may not think too much of this movie, I can't stay away from it.

I watched "Conflict" a couple of nights ago. Great Bogart performance.
Tonight I watched "The Two Mrs. Carrolls." (Bogart & Barbara Stanwyck)
A couple of weeks ago, I watched one of Barbara Stanwyck's best: "No Man Of Her Own."

"The Starling". Nice balance of comedy and drama with a helpful message for those dealing with loss (it might be too hard for some to watch who has lost a child). Chris O'Dowd was new to me and I really liked him...was very heartwarming.

Melissa McCarthy showed her acting versatility...funny but very believable on the serious side. Kevin Kline was good as usual. I don't like many movies these days but I really liked this one. On Netflix. Critics give it a 3 but I give it a 4.
 
The Many Saints of Newark, the Sopranos prequel, on HBO Max. Cast as the young Tony Soprano is Michael Gandolfini, son of James. He did well in the role, shows real acting ability.

My one complaint is that the movie is way too slow moving. On HBO Max till October 31.

Watched it last night. I agree with you on Michael, good actor. However overall I found the show a bit disappointing, not up to the standard set by the original series.

I've seen that movie four or five times, and I'll probably watch it a few more times before I croak. It's one of my favorite movies of all time. :)
 
Just finished 'Harold and Maude', haven't seen it for years.
First saw it in the mid-70's and found it a Dark comedy, but liked it.

Now some fifty years later, it strikes a note about how you live every moment you have.

Worth a watch, and Cat Stevens did the Soundtrack.
 
Clear and Present Danger, Netflix stream, staring Harrison Ford

This movie was entertaining, but was also a statement about American foreign policy — in this case, our interventions into the affairs of Central American nations.
