The only one I watched was Apollo 13, so Apollo 13.
The Rainmaker with Matt Damon. Great movie from my favorite era of film. Second would be The Blackening. Great, campy horror movie with lots of comedy
Jacob’s Ladder (from 1990)
Recently saw this one on Mubi (I first saw it years ago). It’s good although very bleak.
The best movie I’ve watched in the last week was Philadelphia. One of Tom Hanks’ greatest films - possibly one of the most important films of all time. My girlfriend said she hadn’t seen it … so it was a must.
Lost in Translation. One of my favorite films of all time.
Beau is Afraid
The Quiet Girl. Absolutely enthralling despite the slow pace and, well, quiet. One of my favorite movies of the past few years.
Talk to Me
Yannick, good absurd comedy about social classes. Its french and short (1h07).
And hey made the ticket free for all persons called “Yannick” (you show your ID to prove it) .
The Deer Hunter
Not really sure what to say about it honestly. I think it’s a fantastic film, but it’s also extremely dense and emotionally heavy. Superb acting performances from De Niro and Christopher Walken.
Hello @[email protected] , due to the high number of replies here, could we consider pinning this thread to allow further interaction along the week?
On my side, I would say the Truman show.
A classic, but it was the first time for me, and I really enjoyed it, it aged very well.
Did you also see it on Tubi? I watched it as well last week. 😆
No, it was elsewhere, funny to see it’s still popular!
Great movie! As long as I can remember my family’s had it on VHS (then DVD), I must have seen it dozens of times over the years. Obviously I think it holds up lol but nice to hear it actually does.
Yes Man is my other favorite Jim Carrey movie, probably in part because he plays it somewhat serious too (though not as serious as Truman Show). It got middling reviews but I enjoyed it quite a bit - the comedy is a little more subtle than what you expect when you hear the premise and lead actor, but it works, and the romance elements are nice in it too. No masterpiece but worth a watch if you’re in the mood for something light and fun.
Yes man is definitely a good one too!
Wife and I watched The Ledge. Very good
Flight of the Navigator. Never watched it before and had a blast!
Only saw one (Oppenheimer) so it must have been the best.
