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.

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!

Dated but still absolutely amazing.

This movie prefaces so much of what it going on in modern times, along with containing one of the greatest WTF twist endings ever.

Capolla directs an amazing cast perfectly.

(note: many think that Enemy of The State was a sequel to this movie). I completely agree.

Watching this asap.

The scene that may or may not involve Pac-man nearly had me in tears and still cracks me up. I thought it was great. I'd say on par with the first one, although the first one is a better made film. Just go see it if you haven't, it's great.
