I watched a movie I own but haven't viewed for some time: "Green Book."
Based on a true story about a rough guy from The Bronx who is hired to be the driver for a prestigious colored piano player through a concert tour in the Deep South.
If you haven't seen it, you really should. Wonderful movie!
-------------------------------------
On a side note, I watched the documentary that is so hot on social media right now: "The Crash."
The true story about a young woman by the name of Mackenzie Shrilla who was charged with murder after driving her car into a brick building, at 100 mph, killing her boyfriend and another friend in 2022.
I will let you draw your own conclusions on this one...I found it disturbing and it left me a bit baffled.

Firefox (1982)
The Soviets have developed a revolutionary new jet fighter, called 'Firefox'. Worried that the jet will be used as a first-strike weapon—as there are rumours that it is undetectable by radar—the British send ex-Vietnam War pilot, Mitchell Gant on a covert mission into the Soviet Union to steal the Firefox.

Excellent movie told from the perspective of the father (driver) by his son.
It became available for purchase this week, got it yesterday, never seen it but it has been so highly praised I thought I would get it. IMO it deserves an Oscar, it is brilliant.
One of my ALL TIME favourites, absolutely love the film, I did read the book of the sequel once but thought it was not as good as the original.

The Godfather trilogy. First two films are are classics, the third can do well without.

No Country for Old Men, I love this movie, one of my favourite. I love the redneck and small village vibe, the violence and the anti-Hollywood end.

One of my favorite films, Anton Chigurh is the scariest monster of all time, just like the novel.
Brilliant.
I know @pachyerm loves this too.

Master and Commander, by Peter Weir. I saw a short pop up on YouTube about this, and it seems the film is finding a new audience among current thirty-somethings, so I thought I would dig it out of my collection and watch it again. Great film, which says something about fighting and friendship in the age of sail.

Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (2003)
It's been 10 years since John Connor saved Earth from Judgment Day, and he's now living under the radar, steering clear of using anything Skynet can trace. That is, until he encounters T-X, a robotic assassin ordered to finish what T-1000 started. Good thing Connor's former nemesis, the Terminator, is back to aid the now-adult Connor … just like he promised.

Superb cinematography & effects, but little too goofy for my liking for a Terminator film. Doesn't make it a bad watch just not one of my top 3. Your on a roll 😎

I enjoy it. I have all the Terminator movies but really only watch the first three. Everything after that is kinda meh to me.
