What Was the Last Movie You Watched?

"The Cheaters" an old movie that you can watch on Youtube. Yes, its a Christmas themed movie, but not schmaltzy. Its a film about how a family learns to become a family again, rather than get separated into their own microcosms of self-want. Lovely film and I hope you will enjoy it as much as I did.

The last movie I finished was The Curse of Bridge Hollow (Netflix) and am currently in the process of watching Slumberland (Netflix). I don't usually watch an entire movie in one sitting.

I often don't watch the whole movie all at once too. I'm always putting it on pause or switching back to broadcast tv...lol. Come to think of it I'm going to turn Netflix on.😊
 
Been enjoying the fictional Yellowstone series with Kevin Costner courtesy of library DVDs. It's kind of a cattle ranch/cowboy lifestyle story that's reminiscent of Dallas and The Sopranos.

Season 3 should arrive at my local branch in a week or two.

While our brains are in that gear, DH & I have been watching the 4 part mini series hosted by Costner: Yellowstone: One-Fifty. (In order to watch it we signed up for a 7 day free trial to Fox Nation streaming videos.)

Fascinating, factual mini series celebrating Yellowstone Park's 150th birthday ("born" March 1, 1872).
 
Yesterday watched 'I Think We're Alone Now' on HULU, with Peter Dinklage and Elle Fanning (she's almost grown now!). i've been a fan of Dinklage since 'The Station Agent'. If Game of Thrones had been on one of my streaming services i might have given it a try (tho that genre not my usual fare) just because of him. This is a quieter gentler post apocalyptic movie than most with just hint of human 'darkness' near the end. More of a 'thinker' than an action piece and beautifully filmed. The trailer if you watch that first may be misleading--DD said it made Dinklage's character seem somewhat 'creepy'. While he does things not everyone would do, he's not--just practical.
This ranks up there with his performance in movie 'Rememory', which i saw on Netflix but i think some other services carrying now.

Oh and not a movie--but might as well have been a very long one. On Thanksgiving DD and i binge watched all 8 episodes of 'Wednesday'. (Yes Addams Family). The title character is sent to a Boarding School for shall we say 'odd' people that is located in small a town. The student body has a wide variety from myths around the world. We enjoyed it, laughed a good bit. It is one of those movies where you can just suspend disbelief and enjoy it as an offbeat teen movie. But people like DD & i couldn't help but notice some messages about bullying, prejudices, and the power of friendship.
 
I just finished watching a documentary on HBO called They Shall Not Grow Old.

"Academy Award(R)-winner Peter Jackson (''The Lord of the Rings'' trilogy) produced and directed this extraordinary documentary about World War I. Utilizing state-of-the-art digital technology, original archival footage from the Imperial War Museum is restored and colorized, combined with audio from the BBC archives to transport audiences back in time."


I usually do not enjoy watching colorized versions of black and white films or newsreels but this was very well done.

My dad would have loved it. He watched war movies a lot. He served in WWII.
 
We watched a Clint Eastwood movie called The Mule on HBO Max. It was pretty good. Although it was about drug cartels and such, there wasn't much outright violence -- more about the characters. Nice acting by Bradley Cooper, Dianne Wiest, Andy Garcia and a few others.

Clint Eastwood is 90 but he doesn't look a day over 89, as the joke goes.
 
I have another 7 shows to go and I will be finished the 19th year of "Gunsmoke." Last night I finished the 6th year of "Rawhide."

Since these are TV show, maybe they don't qualify as movies but I like them just the same and probably a lot better than most movies I have seen.
