I went into Get Out with the bias of expecting it to be a ham-fisted SJW horror-comedy, so I was looking for it the entire way through, and I was pleasantly surprised to see that my assumptions were wrong. It's just a straight up good movie with a satisfying amount of curve-balls.

Also, not sure who recommended After Hours (Scorsese) to me a week or two ago, Exo probably, but I got around to it and really enjoyed it, thanks.

Beautiful time in America I'd say

Glad you did. Nobody ever talks about that movie and they really should.

Re-watching The Paper Chase (1973) for the first time in decades. No guns, no car chases, no explosions, no aliens, no villains, no mystery, just human interaction based on a intriguing premise.

Timothy Bottoms (Johnny Got His Gun, Last Picture Show), an absolutely beautiful Lindsay Wagner, and the Academy Award winning John Houseman.

Such a touching story. Wish more movies like this were made these days. If you didn't like Manchester by the Sea you'll hate this movie.

Ebert gave it 4 stars and it has an 85% approval rating on RT. Not that counts on MB.

Saw Guardians... 2 today. Gonna have to see it at least two more times 'cause I spent so much time laughing and missed out on more funny shit.

Carol (2015) -- I loved it. I always love understated dramas about forbidden lesbian affairs. Cate Blanchett is magical.

(I also watched The Duke of Burgundy and The Witch recently but I'm not quite sure yet how I feel about them. I did really like The Witch overall, though.)

If anybody here hasn't seen Changeling yet, i'm just going to say that I have seen it several times, and it hasn't gotten old. It's on Netflix. Watch it. Right now. What are you doing reading this? GO!
