The City of Lost Children. A strange and somewhat disturbing science fiction/science fantasy film from 1995. Ron Perlman is probably the only person you'll recognize in it.

I didn't post a link to it, just the trailer. If you haven't seen it, I wouldn't want to spoil it for you with advance information about the plot.

Take a look at "The Physician" on Netflix. 11TH century story of medical procedures in Persia of the era. Not a documentary, but a pretty cool drama with Ben Kingsley.

[SC_Mike]

"The Right Stuff". I grew up in Florida when the space race was happening.

"Forest Gump"

"Caddy Shack"

"Animal House"

"Airplane"

Pretty much anything by Mel Brooks.

"T 34" Recent release from Russia on Prime. About single T 34 destroying half the German Panzer corps. Lotsa Computer generated action but the German Panzer III's and Panthers appearance is right on. I've watched a lot of Russian WWII movies an this one like all of them incorporates a lot of romance at the front. I gotta believe the Ruskies have more German salvaged WWII armored vehicles and tanks, etc. than any other country. It is a pretty good movie but it's no where near "Fury" for story line and realism.

[Old TexMex]

The Battle for Madrid. Documentary with lots of footage collected from all sides of the Spanish civil war.

[ericrlarson]

Hell or High Water
Wind River
No Country For Old Men
Sicario

I remember movies that make me laugh...

Hopscotch (1980) A whimsical thriller staring Walther Matthau
Uncle Buck (1989) My favorite John Candy movie

[kmyers]

Another excellent movie and one that fits the military, not necessarily war genre is Taking Chance, starring Kevin Bacon as a Marine Colonel who is the escort of a fallen Marine's return home to his family. Very solemn and sad to watch but worth watching.

One of my favorite animated movies was by Ralph Bakshi, American Pop. I think people who are into music and history will appreciate it.

[ContinentalOp]

My movie tastes can be a little all over the place, much like my music tastes. I'll try my best not to repeat movies others have already mentioned.

Mr. Right - Kind of a quirky action/rom-com. Anna Kendrick plays a woman, a little "lost," who falls for Sam Rockwell's character, a hitman who kills the people that hire him, because murder is wrong. Some pretty good action scenes.

The Accountant - Action/quasi-thriller. Ben Affleck plays a high-functioning autistic math savant who works as a forensic accountant for criminal organizations (drug cartels, the mob, terrorists, etc.), who has also been trained in combat. Good action scenes and a fairly decent mystery. A favorite of mine.

The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension - Weird, kind of goofy sci-fi film. A cult classic. Not for everybody, but I love it. Banzai (played by Peter Weller...supposedly, this role is what got him cast in Robocop), a physicist/neurosurgeon/rock star/jet car driver/adventurer tries to defeat aliens from an alternate dimension.

No Such Thing - Another weird one I enjoyed. Sarah Polley plays a woman trying to find out what happened to her fiance, only to find out he was eaten by an immortal monster who's tired of living and wants to die, but can't. The woman and the monster become the best of friends while she tries to help him. Like I said...weird. Also satirizes the media and their thirst for ratings.

The Man From Nowhere - Korean action movie, similar to Taken. A pawn broker befriends a little girl, who gets kidnapped along with her mother. He tries to find them, using "a particular set of skills" he used in a prior life. One of my favorite action movies.

I believe The Man From Nowhere and Buckaroo Banzai are still available on Amazon Prime. I don't if the other movies are streaming anywhere.

Total agreement here. The Accountant was panned by a lot of critics because they misunderstood Affleck's take on autism, even though the moral of the story becomes readily apparent fairly quickly in the film, and is reaffirmed at the end.

Affleck is at his best (in my opinion) when he's playing a character with intelligence who goes against type. Check out his performance in The Town, if you haven't seen it. He's cynical, sardonic, humorous, clever...and mean when he needs to be...he's the good-bad guy who...well, I won't spoil if for you if you haven't seen it.

It's also a great performance by Jeremy Renner, equaling (my opinion again) his work in The Hurt Locker.

I think it's also Pete Postlehwaite's last film before he passed away from cancer.

That movie was underrated. Even though I am not a big Kevin Bacon fan, he did a really really good job. Everyone should see that movie!

Really enjoyed Vanishing Point as a teenager and now at 60 it is safe to assume I am a dessert rat. So the dessert with fast cars I might enjoy watching it again. Have not seen it since then but I did see a old music video recently featuring scenes from the movie. As I recall deliver a car in short order half way across the country in the end pays the price for risking it all. Good movie.
As for other movies I have enjoyed
My name is Nobody
Shane just an awesome movie
Sgt York
Big Jake
The Cannon ball run. I heard on the radio this morning a new record was set.
Smokey and the bandit
Anything with Audie Murphy in it
The Great Escape I really enjoyed McQueens roll.

At Christmas, every year without fail...family films without equal.

A Christmas Carol (1984) with George C. Scott as Scrooge. Has the best Marley's Ghost (Frank Finlay) ever in it, "In death we wear the chains we forged in life." Also the best Ghosts of Christmas Past, Christmas Present, and Christmas Future.

The Bishop's Wife (1947), starring Cary Grant, David Niven, Loretta Young, Monty Wooley, and quite a few other familiar faces. A great film with a moral that holds true seventy-two years after the film was made.

Miracle on 34th Street (1947). Another classic from '47. Edmund Gwenn is Kris Kringle!

[Texas Star]

"Gone", starring Amanda Seyfried, free on YouTube.

A girl is thought to be nuts about having been kidnapped, and is ignored when the same man takes her sister. But she does her own search and solves the problem.

Look for the S&W M-36 or 37 she carries.

I liked the trio of, "Fifty Shades" movies, and in one, you see a M-36, with which the heroine (played by Dakota Johnson) shoots a nut case man who kidnapped her SIL.

I also really like the luxurious surroundings and the helicopter and yacht that the Greys own. And I appreciated Christian's family and how they try to support him in overcoming his origins. (Dr. Grey is his adoptive mother; his biological mom was a crack user in a time honored profession. She died when he was about five. I like the way that the once naive college grad (Anastasia Steele) played by Dakota helps him to find healing from his dark past and become a loving family man.

The casting is superb, and if you like Audi cars, you'll enjoy seeing many in the three films. I think Audi may have had a product placement deal in exchange for them using that brand.

"Chloe", starring Liam Neeson and Amanda Seyfried. A music professor's wife thinks he's running around on her and hires a bright young escort to test his loyalty. But things get muddled when the girl has an agenda of her own.

"Basic Instinct." A wealthy novelist may also be a serial killer, determined to murder the San Francisco detective investigating her. Michael Douglas and Sharon Stone, 1992. Jeanne Tripplehorn plays the police psychologist, involved with the detective and she's a former classmate of the lethal author. An excellent, taut thriller. The ending was a bit of a surprise.

I tried real hard to watch Baghdad, TX.

The concept is good, but the characters, dialog and action worse than a middle school play.

Been watching a lot of old movies lately. The original Universal 1930's monster films, "The Mummy, Dracula, and Frankenstein." Have seen them many times over the years, so I guess maybe they're a link to my misspent youth. Recently watched the 1927 version of "The Jazz Singer" for the first time. I know Jolson was heralded as one of the great entertainers of the 20th Century, and I also know times change. That said, if this guy was considered great, there must not have been much else going on back then. MHO you understand.

[walkin jack]

Just watched a terrific "actioner" with Chris Hemsworth, "EXTRACTION". Its a slow starter featuring many many cleches. I almost stopped it. Sure glad I didn't. Once the action starts it doesn't let up and it good stuff too. No camera tricks etc. The action is there and it's real and it's non-stop.

This guy is a great action actor. He'd probably be a good new James Bond.

I watched it on Netflix streaming. Check it out...

[Joed49]

How about "Legends of the Fall" which is one of my favorites.

Last great movie watched was "Once Upon a Time in America". Very long and I had to watch it twice to pick up many things but a fantastic movie.
