Get Out

I could go on and on, but I'll stop now.

Believe it or not I have never liked The Indians Jones movies.
Maltese Falcon was a great disappointment. The plot was impossible to follow.
Get Out was unbelievable. Amazing movie!!!

why wouldn't I believe it? Everyone has their own likes and dislikes. Did you see Nope? What did you think?

I didn’t see Nope / from the creator of Get Out??

I forgot to mention The Producers. That could easily have been on my list. Both movies.
id like to see the music from both combined.

Yes, Nope was from the creator of Get Out. Get Out is better, but Nope is still good.

can't believe I forgot The Producers too!

I got it from your first list.
over the past week I saw 2 movies that I recommend - Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom. It garnered several Oscar nominations. It was Chad Bosman’s last movie.
He was one of the finest actors.
I also saw a revenge and intrigue and action movie called The Foreigner. Imagine Jackie Chan meets Rambo meets Home Alone. It is a serious movie. Not a comedy. Jackie Chan and Pierce Brosnan were outstanding.

1.Shawshank reception
2.Glory.
3./4.
Godfather 2, then 1. *but only if youve seen 1. If you havent, the. See 1. Story make more sence.
-------
then no real order:

Casino
major league.
Revenge of the nerds. - what the **** is a frush?
Porkys.
The Irishman. cgi be damned, i liked it.
Fury.
Saw 1. The twist was epic.
The princess bride - anybody want a peanut?
Forrest Gump.
Airplane! - so, so, well written. It's underated.
Long kiss good night
Rambo first blood
.
Rocky balboa - an excellent nod, closed the series, and "mostly erased" the awfulness of rocky v.
.
saving private ryan - yes, you were a good man. That scene gets me right in the feels. I was deployed overseas when I first saw it.

Master and commander, far side of the world.

American gangster.

Training day.

Basically, if I'm Flippin channels and any of them are on, I'm not flipping anymore.

Their not all masteprincess, but so what?

Great list. I have comments on some of them.

Glory - I should have had this on my list. One of the greatest and most memorable movies ever. Any history buff who hasn’t seen it should have to watch reality shows for the next 10 years. The battle scenes with the sounds and music will stay with you. As will the deep poignancy and emotional issues in the story. The battle scenes are so vivid and realistic that you are there.
This movie that is the greatest war movie and resonates today.
Another movie that is similarly great but but a notch below is the WW1 movie from some years back. 1915.

Rocky 5 - I consider this movie unfairly maligned. I like it fine. Very good story and characters and great street fight at the end where Rocky shows that he has learned some wrestling skills since being in the ring with Thunderlips. Watch the directors cut - it is better.

The Long Kiss Goodnight - very underrated and not well known. A well acted thriller yarn. Gina Davis and Samuel L are great.

The Irishman is on my Netflix list. I’m looking forward to it. I hear you paint houses.

Shawshank Redemption is great. Can't believe I forgot it. Major League and Revenge of the Nerds were very funny. Not sure I'd consider them great film-making. Same with Airplane!. You can also include the Naked Gun series in that category.
Forgot about Forrest Gump! Another great movie! Training Day was also very good.
