What Was the Last Movie You Watched?

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. I watched it with an 11 year old male relative. I actually enjoyed it, to my surprise.

I just happened to find, The Heart is a Lonely Hunter, on YouTube and watched it for the third or fourth time in my life. It never fails to move me. Alan Arkin is so good in it and all the characters are heart breaking in their own way.

Husband and I enjoyed it --- love the actors! There were a few WTF moments, but there usually is with Alfred Hitchcock movies. :)

I loved the film when it came out. It's a good picture, but, as you say, there were a few instances where one had to suspend objectivity. I think it's Hitch's only film that featured an award winning pop song ("Que Sera, Sera"), which was sung twice in the picture.

As you may know this is Hitchcock's own remake of his 1934 British film of the same name, starring Peter Lorre. If you haven't seen it, it's worth a watch. The story is slightly different.
 
Gloria Bell, which someone here recommended awhile back. Fairly easy on the eyes, Julianne Moore, and also on the brain. Interesting they actually made a romantic-ish movie about a middle aged woman.
 
Not a movie but another excellent BBC TV series.
Blue Lights.
Northern Irish police drama series set in current days and based in Belfast, Northern Ireland.
In Belfast, three PSNI (Police Service Northern Ireland) recruits fight against criminal gangs, undercover agents, their own communities and even their own police force.
Won the 2025 BAFTA award for Drama Series
 
Happy Gilmore 2, hubby's choice for movie night. I was not real impressed. I did laugh in parts. Mostly I was just enjoying his company for coming off that PC chair, ;) that made it worth it. Adam Sandler is holding up well though.
 
A favorite old movie of mine is "The Bluebird", 1940. Shirley Temple is a selfish, ungrateful child, who is completely dissatisfied with her life at home. She sets out on a (fantasy) journey with her dog Tylo and her cat Tylette. In their search for the blue bird of happiness, they visit the land of the past, the land of luxury, and the land of the future, but only find things that make them more unhappy.

Eventually they are tired, and return home, to discover that's where true happiness had been all along, and still is.

Love and Mercy, the Brian Wilson biopic. Loved it. It was fascinating watching the composition and recording process, second only to watching the Beatles in Get Back because the latter is nonfiction.

Thirty years ago when I first listened to Pet Sounds it totally went over my head. I couldn't understand why Paul McCartney raved it about it so much. Now I'm wondering how on earth I missed its brilliance.

The Peanut Butter Falcon

Shia LaBeouf


The plot follows a young man with Down syndrome who escapes from an assisted living facility and befriends a wayward fisherman on the run. As the two men form a rapid bond, a social worker attempts to track them.

Shia LaBeouf illegally steals the trapped shellfish from lobster traps gets beat up for it and so he sets fire to their equipment and dock. Is that considered wayward?
But somehow he's played like a good guy.

Meanwhile the Down syndrome kid follows him around as he runs to Florida to escape the 2 guys he's pissed off. Meanwhile the social worker who's responsibility it was to prevent the Down syndrome kid from leaving the nursing home is in pursuit of him.

The Down syndrome kid wants to become a professional wrestler called The Peanut Butter Falcon.

Makes sense, right?

I recommend watching #1 first - it helps make #2 worth watching - since it's really just a big nod to the first movie. The boys and the fighting

The sons and the fighting was like a "OHHH I remember those days" I have 3 sons and one fight they had I had to scream....take it outside now!
Turned out the older one hadn't realized the younger one having been in wrestling... well he had a lot more moves than the one realized. When I saw the "You're going to die" stare on the younger one once he had his brother on the ground, I had to stop it. They never fought again like that.
 
I enjoy a really good science fiction, but unfortunately the majority of them fall short of that IMO. However, I just finished watching the movie "Archive", and it was a very well done Sci-Fi. It restored my faith in creative brilliance for that genre.

Oh I adored that movie. Still think of stuff in it from time to time, and it's been a couple of years since I saw it. Also got into Pet Sounds after seeing it.
 
We liked Tender is the Night with Jennifer Jones, Jason Robards and Joan Fontain. It was on our cable "old movie" station. We pay extra for a DVR so can FF through all the commercials, thank goodness.

My Man Godfrey (1936)
William Powell
Carole Lombard

Never watched this before. It was a free, full movie on YouTube.

Powell and Lombard were married and then divorced when this film came out.

Good acting interesting story.

I love the old screwball comedies! Lombard was a natural, and one of the best film comediennes ever. It was such a tragedy that she died in that airplane accident at only aged 33. It devastated her husband, Clark Gable. Lombard would have made many, many more films if she had lived.
