I never gave The Pianist a chance because of Polanski but finally did a few weeks back because I feel like I have seen everything else that is good.

It is an absolute masterpiece. I didn't think it would be possible for a movie to crack my top 5 but it does easily.

Just go in as blind to the story as possible. It is unbelievably good.

Reservoir Dogs.  This scene still gives me a rush watching it. Have been carjacked before and a gun to the ribs.  That is real.  Remember, this is just a movie.  Fucking L.A.

Dirty Rotten Scoundrels (from 1988 directed by Frank Oz starring Steve Martin, Michael Caine & Glenne Headly) has always been one of my favorite fun movies.

I recently learned it was a remake of the Marlon Brando, David Niven, Shirley Jones film "Bedtime Story" released in 1964. I purchased the DVD (manufactured in 2021 by Kino Lorber - the picture quality is outstanding) and really enjoyed it. The ending is a bit different than DRS

William Hurt died recently and the obits mainly mentioned Altered States, Broadcast News, and The Big Chill. I don't think the first two are very good and The Big Chill is an ensemble cast.

He made two movies that are among my very favorites, Gorky Park and Body Heat.

He also appeared in Billy Bob Thornton's series, Goliath.

Recently watched The Gentleman on Netflix and I loved the movie.
Highly recommend. The only thing I would like to mention is the importance of vpn when using all the streaming services. Here is there is good list of them for kodi for example. Hope it will be useful for someone else too.

Maverick.  Best move of the year!  Best movie Oscar!  Best Scientoligist!  I am a Mormon so, still a great movie.  It as weird as that religion.  But so much different.

FLEE!  They do from Tom.


Leaving Las Vegas

Roadhouse

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas

Braveheart

Dodgeball, with Vince and Ben.  For those who grew up in the 80's and threw a rubber ball at a girls face during recess and it was OK!  That made me laugh.  Still does.
JOHNNY LOVES CHACHI! 

Dumb and Dumber

Animal House.  My advice, Belushi handing him a six pack, drink more.

Airplane

More into streaming shows now.  Just finished the Boys, great ending to the season.  Ozarks, well done.  AND OF COURSE INCLUDED WITH MY PRIME SUBSCRIPTION!  The show that shall never be named or watched.  Take one's best guess at a billion dollars for certain rights and production.

Zardoz is a good one. Weird, but they just don't make them like that anymore.

I recently watched "You Can't Take It with You" (1938) directed by Frank Capra starring Jean Arthur, Lionel Barrymore, Jimmy Stewart and Edward Arnold. I had never heard of it and had no expectations, other than it is a classified as a comedy. 20 minutes into the film I suspected it might become one of my favorite films ever, and I was correct. It's a comedy but has a lot of dense material I found deeply meaningful. 

The movie is based on a comedic play written in three acts by George S. Kaufman & Moss Hart. The original production of the play premiered on Broadway (1936) and ran for 838 performances. It won the 1937 Pulitzer Prize for Drama.

There's a 1984 version of the play on YouTube that I've not yet watched. It's free. It stars Jason Robards, James Coco, Elizabeth Wilson, Colleen Dewhurst and Alice Sycamore. I did skip thru it to take a peek, and it's a lot different than the 1938 movie.

I had recently downloaded this as it won best picture that year and I am trying to watch all the best pictures. I read your review before watching and I agree its fantastic. That house was like some 30's version of a hippie commune. The always dancing sister died in 2004 but just before that she played the landlady in David Lynch's Mulholland Drive
