What Was the Last Movie You Watched?

All good Robert Mitchum ones, Bella, and for a change of pace, he plays a romantic, funny part in, "Holliday Affair," one of my favorite Christmas movies.

i couldnt get into that kburra.......i dont like the Scottish accent on martin compston....which i know is his accent , but im used to hearing him speak cockney as in line of duty .....
 

Oh thanks for the warning, Officerripley. I was looking forward to that and my son thought it sounded good, too, but anything too violent upsets him so I'll get us something else.
 
Emily the Criminal on NF. Good thing it was less than 2 hours because I couldn’t get into it. Starring Aubrey Plaza.
 
A Dog's Purpose on Netflix (Canada). For those that want a bit of fluff with no gratuitous sex, violence or swearing. Story about a dog's reincarnations. I'm not a dog person but by the end of this movie, I was tempted to go get one 😊

 
Heavy on Netflix. About a mother and son who own a restaurant and all the people they deal with. Kind of a strange movie but it held my interest, the acting was good, interesting story and I liked it.
 
The Menu on HBO. Avoid at all costs. A pretense of an artsy fartsy 'foreign' film of the sixties and fails miserably IMO.

Or maybe that's the point? A send-up?

This Sunday afternoon, unplanned, I watched Sink The Bismark, staring Kenneth More. For some reason it was recomended to me today by YouTube. These are the types of films I uesd to watch on TV as a early teenager, which were also shown on a Sunday afternoon.
 
I watched "Hidden Figures," on TV the other night.

Several friends had recommended it to me when it first came out, but I had avoided it thinking it would just make me mad.

I was wrong. I did get mad when the women were mistreated or underestimated, but those feelings were followed with so many uplifting moments as they broke barriers and won respect that it was overall a very "feel good," movie for me.

The three women featured (this is a true story) were not only brilliant mathematicians, they were truly inspiring people in every way, patient, forgiving, self-sacrificing and always putting the importance of their jobs at Nasa, and the safety of the astronauts, ahead of everything else. I'm just in awe of them.
