Me and the Mrs. just watched The Aeronauts on Amazon "Optimis" Prime. It was pretty good, very intense. It was like Gravity, but 1800s hot air balloons. I recommend it.

 

[upperdeck]

just watched The Last Full Measure.. Not a great production, but its a really great story to be heard.

 

[Forza Azzurri]

Photographer of Matthausen - Spanish with English sub-titles; true story about prisoner at Matthausen Concentration camp who worked with Nazi camp photographer; he and other Spanish prisoners hid negatives to document the horrors perpetrated there - Netflix

Just finished watching Sweetheart on Netflix. Mashup Castaway and Cloverfield. It was solid. Good horror movie.

[SUMBA]

I just finished binging The Money Heist on Netflix. It is Spanish but can be dubbed in English.

Better than Breaking Bad.

We watched Parasite Saturday night. Was pretty much unlike any movie I've ever seen. Highly recommend.

Second this.

We really enjoyed it.

 

[moqui]

yes. i saw there is some kind of sequel so i figured better watch this first

seoul station. i have not seen it but it's on my list.
animated prequel to train to busan

 

[upperdeck]

actually this is the sequel i was talking about Peninsula..

 

[Zelda Zonk]

Watched Love Wedding Repeat on Netflix last night. Entertaining. Really good cast. I couldn't stop saying "Oh my god," staring at Olivia Munn the entire time. But it also has Aisling Bea who sounds like the funniest trumpet you've ever heard. A dude from GoT, the main guy from People Just Do Nothing, and Freida Pinto.

Also binged the entire first two seasons of Killing Eve over the weekend. Not sure why i didn't catch onto that show earlier. I think i just didn't know i liked Sandra Oh. But, Jodie Comer is awesome. Scary, actually. And then you watch an interview with her, and it's like Holy crap.

 

[MGDCuse]

One of the 30 for 30's that almost never gets played but is one of the best is "Hillsborough". It's part of their soccer story series. My personal favorite. Really heartbreaking story.

 

[IthacaMatt]

Just curious if we could start a thread with some good movie options during this time with nowhere to go. I will start...my wife and I are watching Bohemian Rhapsody tonight...

One of the things I've been watching is The Last Kingdom on Netflix. It's historical fiction about the Danish / Viking invaders nearly conquering all of England back in around 700-800 AD. The "last kingdom" is Essex, in the south of England, and the last King fighting for Christianity against Celtic / Norse Gods (Wodin / Oden).

There's a guy who's kind of like a more manly John Snow. Pretty well written, a poor man's Game of Thrones, minus the dragons, of course.

 

[IthacaMatt]

Dunkirk,
1917,
Glory,
Lawrence of Arabia,
Patton.

Movies about people heroically overcoming odds...even though some people die. The kind of stuff we need today. And they are all true stories

Lawrence of Arabia was such a great film - David Lean directed, right?
I even went and got the PBS documentary about the historical T.S. Lawrence.
Quite an interesting time in history. It could have turned out so much better.

 

[orangezen]

DOLEMITE ! and Marek also recomends Money Heist

 

[maxxyz]

Thinking about checking out 1917,The Grudge, The Night Clerk seems kind of interesting.

Anyone see Dr Doolittle?

Advise people to proceed with caution if thinking about watching Underwater.

1917 - EXCELLENT
The Grudge - Good
The Night Clerk - Haven't seen it
Dr Doolittle - AAAWWWFUUUULLLLL

Dr. Doolittle was weird. It did have some funny parts. If you have low or no expectations, you'l be entertained.

Edited to add: Crazy to think, that is the last movie my family will see in a theater in a LOOOOOONG time.

I haven't seen it, but I think anything with RDJr in it has to be at least mildly entertaining.

It's a very different role for him. Most of the entertainment is from the kid actors and the animals. Some of the animal characters in particular were pretty funny.

[IthacaMatt]

My daughter was able to tape "Once Upon a Time ... In Hollywood" on demand.
