Movie's Being Watched?
 
In the days of social distancing and houseatosis, (cabin fever). I was wondering what movies others were watching.

Last night I watch Space Cowboys. Visual appealing too! Loved "Fly Me To The Moon" by Sinatra at the end.

I started to watch "An American President", but the DVD did not come up full screen so I was disappointed. Please no political comments!

Tonight, it may be "Unforgiven" by Clint Eastwood. One of the best western ever made!!! IMHO

I always have my stock of the old classics to lean on. It's funny how black and white movies seem to have such an appeal. I also like them as the story lines are not convoluted, as some new movies are.

I watch several episode of "Hill Street Blues". A great crime show that blended crime with the officers personal lives.

What are you watching?

Just finished re watching all 5 seasons of Breaking Bad, next up, The Soprano's. Sure wish I had stock in Netflix!

Watched Season Three of Fargo on Hulu. They have all three Seasons on there.

Tom Hanks hosting SNL with people doing skits in front of their computer cameras from home or with others' help. Like that of their mother/father or spouse.

Red Eye for a movie along with The Grudge from 2020.

I rented the original movie CATS (not this past year's version), Judy, and last night I saw Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood.

Judy and Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood -- both very good choices!

I earned around $80 in Fandango gift card credit a few years ago with a sales app for work, and only used it a few times online. Now that I can watch it on my choice of devices, I plan on plowing through the credit a bit more.

I also watch movies for free on IMDB. Hubby watches the big-screen TV in the other room. I watch my computer and 28" HD monitor :)

BS Beef 04-12-2020 04:03 PM

Watched the original True Grit last night. We had watched the remake last week. Both are excellent. My 25 year old son asked which I liked better. I had to give the nod to the original since I saw it when it 1st came out in the theater. Interesting how both must have taken dialog straight from the book. Some lines were verbatim in both.

Sabrina&Bill 04-12-2020 04:10 PM

“Hunter Killer”, recent submarine movie. Highly recommended,

LiverpoolWalrus 04-12-2020 05:23 PM

I don't watch cable TV news as I prefer newspapers and Alexa's BBC and NPR, so I've been catching up on some classics: Ben Hur, Rebel Without a Cause (not really worth the wait) and Lawrence of Arabia. And the not so classic: My One and Only, loosely based on the life of George Hamilton, and the Music Never Stopped, which was excellent.

And although I'm agnostic on the subject (I have way more to learn), lots of episodes of Ancient Aliens and other conspiracy theory videos, just because they're entertaining and thought provoking. Careful if you go there, the latter can be pretty depressing.

Tonight on TCM is Easter Parade. I will be nailed to the sofa. Super corny but such talent.

Last three , The Big Labowski, Focus, and Caddyshack. Thinking about rewatching either The Sons of Anarchy or Deadwood.

Hmmmm, love The Big Lebowski and of course Caddyshack. But I’ve never heard of Focus, may have to have a look based on you having the other 2 on your list. :coolsmiley::popcorn:

Nucky 04-12-2020 08:39 PM

The Two Popes. Excellent.
Have to pay for Showtime but The Entire 7 Seasons of Ray Donovan will not disappoint. Godfather of Harlem on Epix which is free for 30 days. It is 10 shows one hour each. Excellent

Focus is a very good Will Smith flick with lots of twists and turns. Definitely a good watch.

The Sopranos, all 6 seasons are now on Netflix. It is also available through the HBO App for free, for a limited time. There are 86 episodes, so you can watch them one at a time, which can keep you occupied and entertained.

DAN48 04-13-2020 05:24 AM

I recommend "An Inspector Calls" on Amazon Prime Video. It is the movie version of a story by J.B. Priestley. Once you see it, you won't forget it!

Kerlampert 04-13-2020 06:06 AM

All the James Bond 007 oldies...very cool!

rockandroller 04-13-2020 06:57 AM

Late Night with Emma Thompson

The Big Sick with Holly Hunter and Ray Romano

stevemac 04-13-2020 07:15 AM

Homeland on Showtime-Claire Danes is outstanding. Blacklist on Netflix starring James Spader and the Villages own Megan Boone.

davem4616 04-13-2020 07:21 AM

Watched all of the Jack Ryan series, then the Bible series....movies watched: The Help, Romancing the Stone, 3 Musketeers, You've Got Mail

now we're out of popcorn, so I don't know if we'll watch anything else until we get to the store

cheweycat 04-13-2020 07:36 AM

Ozark on HBO. 3 seasons. The finale of the 3rd season was wild!

wiltma 04-13-2020 07:38 AM

Is that a new season of late? I don’t remember how many we watched. Thanks

With HBONow offering 60 days of free content and you don't even have to sign in or create an account, I am on my 25th episode of Six Feet Under.


Next I plan to finish the Little Fires Everywhere episodes before my free trial runs out. Although for $6/month I may keep Hulu. I'm saving that much on toilet paper and hand sanitizer.:ohdear:

mellincf 04-13-2020 07:41 AM

Reruns of Hot In Cleveland, with Betty White. Hilarious! Also last night watched "To Catch A Thief".

jimdoowop 04-13-2020 07:59 AM

Would be helpful to know in all cases where the movies are streamed from. Netflix, Prime, other? Thanks.

Aloha1 04-13-2020 08:09 AM

Watched "Agora" on Amazon Prime. True story of Hypatia, the foremost brilliant mathematician of the 4th Century. Showed how religious ignorance destroyed what remained of our ancient knowledge from the Library at Alexandria and probably set back scientific progress by centuries.

Just watched “Sands of Iwo Jima” B&W with John Wayne, done in the 50’s. He looked 19 yo. Man I’m getting old!!

Old movies
 
Watching TCM old movies. Lots of oldies but goodies. Also watched Easter Parade last night. Love those musicals. Also catching up on Outlander.

I would watch Six Feet Under again, but I've seen all 63 episodes at least 5 times each. It's hard to believe that series ended in 2005. Most would never think Michael C. Hall (Dexter) was a gay undertaker on a TV show. It's basically a R rated soap opera, but I loved it. I just read that many consider the final episode as the best ever. I have to agree, it's called We're all Waiting.

TCM is one of my favorites as well, they don't make em like they use to. Did you see "I wake up Screaming" last week on TCM? It was originally released in '41 as Hot Spot, and bombed (not a joke) mostly because of Pearl Harbor. Re-released in '42 as I wake up screaming and it was a hit. I love researching the movies on IMDB, hard to believe such a beautiful girl like Carole Landis was married 5 times and committed suicide at age 29.

Richard Jewell - Very good film.

Boomer 04-13-2020 08:47 AM

Not a movie — but I started watching Amazon’s ”Modern Love” last night. It is a well done rom-com. Mr. Boomer even watched it with me, though it is not something he would have picked on his own. I just asked him if he would watch more episodes with me tonight. He mumbled, “Mebbe. “ — But, I think that might be a yes. :)

We have seen three “Modern Love” episodes so far. Each one is a separate story so that makes it easier not to stay up until 2:00 in the morning — because of the hook built into the end of every episode of series that are one continuous story — like “Ozark” or “Shameless.”

We finished all three seasons of “Ozark.” It sure is a dark story. I do not like any of the people, except for those kids trapped with their awful parents. Also, I like Ruth, who is trapped in a different way but is so smart. I keep hoping she will turn her life around.

Laura Linney, in “Ozark” makes Shakespeare’s Lady MacBeth look like a Sunday School teacher. (And to think she seemed so nice when she introduced “Downton Abbey” on PBS.)

“Schitt’$ Creek” has been my favorite binge of all-time. The dialogue and character development and wardrobes are so much fun to see. And Chris Elliot as Roland Schitt perfectly captures that obnoxiously hilarious character. — The only bad thing is that we just finished all the seasons and there will not be more. Oh well, I guess there is an art to knowing how to quit when you are on top.

chvlt57 04-13-2020 09:16 AM

Watched Citizen Kane for the first time ever; not sure why it is considered a classic.

LI SNOWBIRD 04-13-2020 09:17 AM

We just finished watching the Marvel Universe films in chronological timeline order instead of release order. An interesting perspective and helps make more sense of it. But now we are both all violenced out. So, I think it’s on to Toy Story 1-4!

Kathi71 04-13-2020 09:55 AM

I watched Airplane with Peter Graves and Liam Neeson...still funny after all these years.......

Red Rose 04-13-2020 10:02 AM

I've been watching James Bond movies from the 60s with Sean Connery as Bond.

My husband likes Ray Donovan episodes. We watched The Madea Family Funeral for laughs.

Travelingal702 04-13-2020 10:11 AM

Binge watched all episodes of SHARKNADO. Silly, funny, entertaining. But, on a more serious note, THE HIGHWAYMEN, with Kevin Costner and Woody Harrelson. True story of the men took down Bonny and Clyde. Very good movie.
