I remember movies that make me laugh...

Hopscotch (1980) A whimsical thriller staring Walther Matthau
Uncle Buck (1989) My favorite John Candy movie
 
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.
 
Dark comedy:. Training Day/ No Country
Sci-fi: Forbidden Planet/ Inception
Action: Bullit/Dirty Harry
History: The Patriot
Comedy: MM MM World/ Animal House
Once a year: Blues Brothers. Joe
 
An old one I like is the Ralph Bakshi movie Wizards. I claim to be like Blackwolf but gets told I actually resemble Avatar, short, chubby and an old fart with a bit of a dirty mind. LOL

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