What Movies Are You Watching Lately

[hpreston]

At home recovering from surgery giving me a chance to see Important Films You Must See.

First up was Ben-Hur. Clocking in at over 3.5 hours, it actually keeps moving pretty well. I had never seen the chariot race scene before, it is astonishing. Crazy to think it was all done using practical effects.

Followed by:
MH370: The Plane That Disappeared

Banshees of Inisherin

Pepsi, Where’s My Jet?

The Alpinist

Election

Everybody Wants Some!

Rocky IV

Jiro Dreams of Sushi

Thank You For Smoking

All of which I recommend although the Pepsi one, like most Netflix limited series, should have been a little shorter.

Here's hoping for a speedy recovery.

Is "Important Films You Must See" a film? A list of films annotated somewhere? or just your list?

Of the Films you mentioned, while i am sure many are entertaining, I would list Ben Hur as Important and Must See. After that, maybe Election and Thank you for Smoking.

No, nothing formal. I just mean films that you always hear about but haven’t gotten around to seeing.

Do you have a "watch list"?

Any horror fans out there? Looking for some good ones available to stream that aren't in the "slasher" genre. I saw M3gan over the weekend and it was great fun.

Do you have a "watch list"?

Not really. AFI top 100 and the TimeOut top 100 are good starting points.

I would list Ben Hur as Important and Must See.

Always curious about flicks that are must see that I may not have. Can you post 5-10?
