Watched The Night Porter on Netflix last night.
Don't waste your time. Terrible low budget film with a slow moving boring plot. Protagonist is meant to be on the autistic spectrum but he's depicted as a weird creep who literally lives in his mother's basement and creeps on women and acts like a robot.
Just awful all around and flat out insulting to anyone on the spectrum themselves.

Duel, his first significant movie if I remember correctly.
JP was a monumental film that pissed off a lot of the book fans because of how the story was chopped. And yes, eventually the other parts of the story made it into the later JP movies.
Not technically a film, however after the real life high adventure & drama of "The Lost City of Z" what else to follow up with other than Shackleton (2002)
Again a depiction of real life events, documenting sheer determination & human endurance in the most hostile of conditions imaginable. Such individuals are the real super heroes, not the Hollywood clowns...

Thoroughly, thoroughly enjoyed this movie.
It doesn't step out of its lane, or do anything to push the genre forward. However it is a very well executed romp, that walks right up to the line of totally ridiculous but doesn't cross it.
Very entertaining
Rewatched Thank You For Smoking. Amazing film, super underrated satire of lobbyists without being in your face or preachy about it at all. Very well written story and characters. Hadn't seen it in years so enjoyed it almost as much as the first viewing.
Fun little tidbit about that film. It was having trouble getting funding from Hollywood because they didn't like the ending (won't say more, don't want to spoil) so Elon Musk jumped in and funded it and got an executive producer credit. Indeed I noticed only on this latest viewing, after hearing about that, he shows up on the opening credits.

Since it is Star Wars day, I decided to watch an appropriate movie...
Rogue One
The best Star Wars movie since the original trio.

I watched Nomadland a few days ago. I've only seen 3 of the best pictures and I still think Judas and the Black Massiah was the better of the three. I found Nomadland kind of slow.
Don't want to spoil the ending, but saw 10 Cloverfield Lane yesterday.
Really great movie, well until the... ending

Recently watched ‘His House’ on Netflix. A British horror film about African refugees in Britain starring the eleventh Doctor himself, Matt Smith. Also watched ‘Rocketman’ the biog of Elton John, also on Netflix. I enjoyed it much more than I thought I would.
I bloody love Rogue One.
Good film, but I wish they could have stuck with the book more closely, which was way darker. Hammond was not the loveable character he was in the movie for one. But there's no way kids would have been getting in to see that movie if they had made it!
Watched Rear window by Hitchcock the other day. Great movie. I think they did a remake of this, or was it Psycho? Anyway, great acting
This was an excellent docu-drama. It's amazing to this day what Shackleton and his crew went through.
Oh, I'd love to see that one. I'm going to check if it's available on Apple TV+ (probably not)
Another one to follow up is Shackleton's Captain
More documentary focussed never the less a good watch for those with interest in the subject.
