What Was the Last Movie You Watched?

Last night on Turner Movie Classics I watched 'Mississippi Burning' 88 directed by Alan Parker starring Gene Hackman,Wilem Defoe.They play 2 FBI agents, who were investigating the disappearance of 3 civil rights workers in Miss the summer of 1964
Defoe's role is the 'tight jaw by the book type',Hackman's role is ex Southern sherriff who has more experience dealing with people. He's the one who figures out what happened to the workers
Other cast members, Frances Mc Dormand,Brad Dourif,Michael Rooker,R.Lee Ermey,Pruitt Taylor Vince
I saw movie when it was 1st released,at times had trouble watching some of the intense scenes.As usual Hackman was terrific ,his scenes with McDormand were tender. He was nominated for Best Actor, lost to Dustin Hoffman.He is my all time #1 favorite movie actor,even though he is retired from acting
 

I kicked cable TV to the curb last week. The only channels I watched were TCM and PBS. As much as I liked both it was not worth one hundred dollars a month. I can stream PBS for free and you tube has a plethora of classic movies. That extra hundred dollars a month in my pocket will serve me well.

With a title like that, why
bother with other films?
Wasn't my last but was a
better one than many.
