What Was the Last Movie You Watched?

The Year I Started Ma@#$&bat&$g on Netflix. I liked it a lot. About a couple that is unhappy and the journey they take in life.
 
What We Wanted on Netflix or Prime. It's pretty good. A couple goes on vacation to get away from it all but run into some other people who are not all bad. I liked it.
 

Two great movies
Alabama Moon

Patty, were you able to watch all of The Abyss? I tried both that link you gave and a bunch of other links on YouTube and could never get the movie to play; I tried different things: one channel said just leave a comment below and you can watch it but nope; another said subscribe and you can watch it, but nope. So frustrating; we love that movie, only have a standard-def dvd of it and would love to watch it in high-def.

Hi Ripley,
The link I left is just a ‘trailer viewing,’ which is really only a preview. I did see the entire thing but not on my phone or computer. I watched it on TV. Hopefully you find a way to get it . It might be on Netflix , Tubi of one of those channels. Good luck.
 
In process of watching Till The story of the lynching of 14 year old Emmitt Till. Accused of whistling at and fondling a white grocery clerk. The clerks husband was one of the men who killed him. The clerk, Carolyn Bryant Donham died in April of this year. After the trial of the men who killed him, she claimed she embellished her story to make it seem worse.
The two men who killed him were aquitted of his murder.

The movie is on Amazon Prime
 
I can't remember if I posted my last movie. So here goes, The Wife on Netflix. Very good movie with Glenn Close. It's a great drama about a husband author who wins the Nobel Prize for his work. Excellent acting and story.
 
Watching a special trilogy in French. It's about Sissi, the Empress of Austria. The first one was done in German language around 1955 simply called Sissi.

The second one, Sissi L'impératrice, circa 1956.

The third one, Sissi Face A Son Destin, circa 1957.

With Romy Schneider in the titular role of Sissi. I love history and after seeing the film in school, I just fell in love with her life story.

"The Sound of Freedom" in a theater. A disturbing depiction of child sex exploitation. The actors playing the various bad guys did an outstanding job of playing some believably loathsome characters. The actors playing the hero and his helpers were good in their roles too.
 
I watched Howl on Amazon Prime Video last night, and enjoyed it as a fan of werewolf movies. If you imagine a night train breaking down in a deep forest and being set upon by werewolves there, you’ve got the general scenario. What made the movie especially enjoyable for me was that the characters and settings were all British; the train even had a tea cart girl! The film has leavening black humor; when a werewolf finally breaks into the train, the passengers counter-attack it as a group, and one book-reading gentleman goes absolutely medieval on the werewolf’s head with a fire axe! You can only push a Brit so far, you know…

This 2015 film never saw theatrical release, but is generally rated with 4+ stars out of 5, and is worthwhile viewing for fans of the genre… 🐺

"The One Percent" free 1:15​

This 80-minute documentary focuses on the growing "wealth gap" in America, as seen through the eyes of filmmaker Jamie Johnson, a 27-year-old heir to the Johnson & Johnson pharmaceutical fortune. Johnson, who cut his film teeth at NYU and made the Emmy®-nominated 2003 HBO documentary Born Rich, here sets his sights on exploring the political, moral and emotional rationale that enables a tiny percentage of Americans - the one percent - to control nearly half the wealth of the entire United States. The film Includes interviews with Nicole Buffett, Bill Gates Sr., Adnan Khashoggi, Milton Friedman, Robert Reich, Ralph Nader and other luminaries.

 
I saw The Pope’s Exorcist on Netflix last night, and loved it! Russell Crowe is a delight as the titular character, riding around on a Vespa scooter and carrying a flask of booze “for his scratchy throat.” The young son of the inheritor of an abandoned abbey has been possessed, and it’s up to Father Gabriel to cast out an especially nasty demon. Expect levitations, abnormal vomiting, and priests thrown across the room. This is strong atmospheric horror well done based on a real life exorcist, my cup of tea but perhaps not yours…

I was also attracted to this trilogy after visiting Austria a few years ago. The movies were wonderful! Great acting, and very picturesque.
 
I saw "Barbie" at the local cinema with my son. I liked it on many levels - the concept of Barbie as a doll and going into the real world of humans, the concept of Ken always linked to her and his rebellion after seeing the real world, and the singing and dancing reminiscent of musicals long gone. In this movie, Barbie wants to become real which reminded me of "Pinocchio" where he wanted to become a real boy. As we walked away from the cinema afterward, I discussed with my son a future world where robots one day might want to become real, just like Barbie (this movie might be prophetic). In a pivotal point in the movie, Barbie said she didn't want to be an "idea" but someone who imagined (created).
