What Was the Last Movie You Watched?

Licorice Pizza. It was good. I think the best actor in it was Sean Penn. He was great. A good story. It was on Prime.
 

A really boring - Voyagers.
Never got to the end.
Story of Teenage astronauts sent on a voyage to a far away habitable planet.
Earth is becoming victim to climate change and a new home is needed. A planet is found, it will take 83 years to get there.
The astronauts will have children, those children will have children and begin to colonise the new planet.

The Incredible Shrinking Man, an old Sci Fi hit from my youth. Dated now, but probably cutting edge in 1957 with its unique premise and special effects.

I have NEVER forgotten this movie. I still remember many scenes. Terrifying. I was a little girl. I saw it with my father in Miami Beach. I was tired of being at the pool everyday, so he took me to this movie.

I felt such pity for the main character. His clothes started getting too big for him.

That last scene, with the spider...............:eek:

When we left the theater, it was raining on our side of the street ONLY. We ran to the sunny side and I had a bad fall.

Oh my, it sounds like that movie must have done a number on you. My first sci/fi/horror film was The Thing. I went with a friend who was two years older, and he informed me on the way that it was a scary movie. Now the concept of a scary movie was too much to grasp. I couldn't understand how a movie could be scary (Roy Rodgers and my other favorites were never scary). But The Thing ruined my sleep for a couple of months. The movie did a number on me, but my older friend literally hid behind the seat in front of him during the scary parts. I tried to get him to watch, but he refused to even peek over the back of the chair... Some authority on scary movies, huh?
 
The Searchers (1956).
After a long three-year absence, the battle-scarred Confederate veteran of the American Civil War, Ethan Edwards turns up on the remote and dusty Texan homestead of his brother, Aaron. In high hopes of finding peace, instead, the taciturn former soldier will embark on a treacherous five-year odyssey of retribution, when the ruthless Chief Scar's murderous Comanche raiding party massacres his family, burns the ranch to the ground, and abducts his nine-year-old niece, Debbie. Driven by hatred of Indians, Ethan and his young companion, Martin Pawley, ride through the unforgiving desert to track down their lost Debbie; however, is the woman they lost and the prisoner in Scar's teepee still the same woman the searchers seek?

With John Wayne, Vera Miles, Ward Bond, a 15 year old Natalie Woods, and Ken Curtis who later became Festus in Gunsmoke.

Natalie Wood was still a student in high school when this film was being made, and, on several occasions, John Wayne and Jeffrey Hunter had to pick her up at school. This caused a good deal of excitement among Wood's female classmates.

Since others have included series here, i will too. Thursday my daughter and i binge watched the entire 3rd (supposedly final) season of Locke & Key on Netflix. She hasn't had a full day off in a month, but someone was recently hired as her relief 2 days a week, still training so DD had to go down for a half hour at closing. By then we long since finished it. Joe Hill, son of Stephen King, co wrote the 'comic book' it's based on. Gabriel Rodriguez the other author. Hill was involved with production somewhat. Well done supernatural story with several different supernatural elements. Spirits, demons, magical events controlled by specially made 'keys'

Raises a couple of thought provoking questions about remembering our own personal histories.
 
Fissure on Tubi. Detective recovering from a trauma gets sucked into a mind bending situation. We kind of perceive things from his POV so its a very non linear progression of the story.

As disorienting as Memento, perhaps more so. But if your tastes run to the unusual and odd structures it is engaging. For me while the description had given one spoiler and there's a clue early on, it kept me thinking through out. My kind of film.
 
The last three movies I watched were:

That's Amore -very good romantic movie that will put a smile on your face.;)

Loving Adults-I will say one thing about the adults in this movie - they are anything but loving. It was good.

Reprisal- cops and robbers movie. Pretty good.

2001 A Space Odyssey. The special effects were incredible for the time, but otherwise the movie was a drag. If they had a computer as smart as Hal, why did they go to the trouble of sending humans? And, the ending never made any sense to me at all.

One of my least favorite movies of all time. Only liked the opening with the chimps. The rest was blah to me. The ending was pompous. Never was a fan of Keir Dullea or Gary Lockwood. The only good thing about this movie was the LSD I was forced to take in order to sit through it. :cool:
 
After the Dark on Tubi.

The kind of movie my friends and i would have spent hours discussing back in 60s & 70s. Would have been heated debates about the limits of logic and the inescapable nature of our emotions. A philosophy teacher at some sort of 'international' high school or perhaps Jr College in Jakarta (?) leads his students in a thought experiment (which the film shows as if happening in reality) on the last day of class.

It involves an apocalyptic scenario, a survival bunker with only space for half the class and how they will choose who gets into the bunker. Despite his insistence that logic is the only way to make any decision it is clear from early on he has an emotion driven ulterior motive. The professor corrects a flaw i noticed in the 'logic' of the choices (based on 'randomly' chosen professions) by assigning a second skill to them for the 2nd go around. But it bothered me the students didn't point out that flaw first time around especially since the Teacher said 'Other than the profession you drew, you will be exactly who you are in reality.

The third go round gets set up by his star pupil while still apocalyptic is in a setting that affords those who won't fit in bunker and opportunity to get far enough away to survive. Don't want to give too many spoilers. But if you like this sort of thing, watch it and want to discuss maybe we could open thread just for doing that. Let me know.
 
Kinky Boots, 2005, starring Chiwetel Ejiofor (whom I didn't realize was such a great singer) and Joel Edgerton; based on a true story, very good!
