What is The Last Movie You Watched?

[broncofan]

and Birdge of Spies, man... I don't know. Usually I am not a Spielberg kind of a guy. There's something about that movie that did not got me. Spielberg is not usually a subtle guy when it comes to sentimentality (the horrible scene comes to mind in the end when he's coming back to the US and Spielberg not only shows a scene with a wall, but also puts kids jumping over the wall in a pretty rhyme cliché with the scene that shows a wall in the middle of the film. That's why.

I understand what you mean. Even in his best movies he lays it on way too thick with the sentimentality, like he needs to editorialize an important moment instead of just letting the viewer get it him or herself. The soundtrack of Good Time was good and the movie (I might watch it again), and I also liked the soundtrack of Atomic Blonde but not the movie so much. Thanks for the list..I will look at a few of them soon.

yeah, Atomic blonde was a nice ride. In a perfect world a crossover with John Wick and Lorraine would be nice to watch.

To be honest I am 'old hollywood movie guy'. I pretty much watch more movies from 30's to 55's-ish, even tho those movies are pretty terrible with race and gender.
Do you have a top 10 list of favorite movies of last year? If so, please share.

To be honest, I only watched a handful of movies last year. I've gotten back into reading fiction, mostly pulp fiction authors of 40-50 years ago. But when I watched older hollywood movies I tend to enjoy film noir. Double Indemnity, The Killing, Touch of Evil, Out of the Past. In fact, I probably want to revisit some of those.

Molly’s Game. Love poker movies

Two rather different sorts of sci-fi movie!!


Coneheads - a total chuckle from start to finish, light-hearted relief from the everyday with great performances from Dan Ackroyd and Jane Curtin

Valerian - the first ten minutes are superb but by the end I felt the graphics and fashion design had got a bit too much along with the many nods to other sci-fi classics and his past offerings but enjoyable nonetheless.

I need that one. Sorkin's dialogue is always flames. And Jessica Chastain is a goddess

I miss rewatch those. Barbara is flames in Billy Wilder's hands, and Touch of Evil (the directors cut) é my favorite Noir of all time. (tho my favorite Orson Welles' movie is Magnificent Ambersons.

Speaking about Noir movies, love watch some B-noirs, You know? You can find real masterpieces of trully overlooked movies from that genre. Some exemples if you allow me to say: The Letter (Bette Davis, directed by Wyler), They Drive by Night (Bogart, Raft, Ann Sheridan and Ida Lupino. Directed by Raoul Walsh), Ladies in Retirement (Ida Lupino, tho this is more like a victorian gothic tale), The Glass Key and This Gun For Hire (Both with Veronica Lake and Allan Ladd), Fallen Angel (with the great Dana Andrews), The Spiral Staircase (Brent), Dragowyck (Gene Tierney, Walter Huston and Vincent Price. directed by Joseph L. Mankiewicz), Crossfire (with Gloria Grahame), Dark Passage (with Bogart and Bacall), The Big Clock (Charles Laughton), and FINALLY Flamingo Road (with Joan Crawford)

Sorry Abt the long ass text.

Kiss me Deadly
DOA
The Night of the Hunter
The Naked City
The Asphalt Jungle
The Killers
I watch my "cinema" on my desktop 25 inch monitor, I guess if I had a 70 inch flatscreen I might see things differently when I watch a new movie.
I pretty much agree with the ratings of the critics, but I give sci-fi and horror an extra 10 percent.
Many of josehip's movies I have never heard of.

those are pretty much A++ classics. I was think more like B or even C-noirs.
