I liked 'Superman' 2025

Hook, not so much.

Disliked: Gone With The Wind & Titanic. I find both absolutle awful.

The Godfather was about power.
The Godfather Part II was about the price of power.
The Godfather Part III was about three hours long.

The first two are in my top ten best movies ever made. The third one was by comparison awful, and even without comparing it to the first two it was mediocre.

I loathe Mrs. Doubtfire.

I hated Terms of Endearment.

There are too many that I really liked ....

The Exorcist I liked.

Even though I love Ralph Fiennes. I'm not a fan of films that glorify adultery. She's married to Colin Firth and fancies a shag with Ralph Fiennes? Sew your wild oats when you're single. Geesh!

I felt the same way about Bridges of Madison County.

I didn't find The Exorcist scary because I don't believe in demons, possession and all that nonsense. Good special effects for the time though.

I thought it was a rather tender story about two people who were thrown together by fate and fell into a burning desire to be together forever. But they knew it was an impossible relationship and had to give up what they most desired in their lives. It was such a humanistic approach to a love story. Giving up what you most desire in your life is the most difficult decision a person can make.

when you're single. She'd been married to her husband for almost 20 years. I don't think it would be romantic for her to leave her husband for a traveling photographer she's known for a few days and I don't think it was especially tragic that she didn't.

She knew nobody and was viewed as an outsider. She was lonely and never really loved her husband, altho she was grateful and stayed with him at the end. I view her as a tragic person, unhappy in her marriage but unable to just leave what she had as a family. I think it is a sad situation for everyone. Her husband is vaguely aware of her sadness and wants to help her but can't. Eastwood wants her to just up and go, and that is just insensitive on his part.

I think the film shows the tragic nature of the situation and highlights the kindness of her husband (he wants her to be happy).

Streep is such a fine actress she can play Francesca as a tragic, but basically a good and caring person who finds herself in an impossible situation. I felt sad for her. And for Eastwood's character and for her husband.

The movie is not romantic IMO. It simply shows that life is complicated and difficult. The tragedy is implicit in the situation these people faced and how they chose to deal with it.

---without a good, solid trashing of "The English Patient." Never fails; been happening for years.

Not my favorite movie, but I thought it was pretty solid. The novel is worth a look, as well.

Flag Day is a 2021 drama based on Jennifer Vogel's 2004 memoir, Flim-Flam Man: A True Family History.
It's directed by and stars Sean Penn.
His daughter, Dylan Penn, plays Jennifer Vogel.
It's an excellent film.

"The Post" is one of the best films I've ever seen.

Absolutely hate Gone with the wind. While I admire the tech that was amazing for it's time, the movie was based on one of the few books that I feel should be banned/burned because it was so awful- poorly written, too long, awful characters, especially the main character, scarlet, scarletta, whatever her name is.

Current favorite movies are Coco and Encanto.

On the other hand, "Nobody2" was fun, just because the proverbial ignorant Hillbillies/Rednecks got their asses beat.

I have many that I love and watch over and over again! Some that I have on my DVR are:
Pulp Fiction
The Fugitive
Casino
Goodfellas
Casablanca
Guess Who's Coming to Dinner
All the President's Men
The Wizard of Oz
And many, many more.

Movies are my thing! I always have something playing on my T.V. in the background.

I don't like the action or adventure movies..........

(See reply # 13)

It stars Meryl Streep & Tom Hanks and was directed and produced by Steven Spielberg.

I LOVED The Post. It was the first and only time Meryl Streep and Tom Hanks were in the same movie...

I know! OMG............

Disliked "Titanic" and"The English Patient".

Hated The Thin Red Line.

I don’t think they made Whistle into a movie.

...but oh well.

I actually liked Showgirls and disliked Pulp Fiction.

In the hatred category, The Last Jedi. As for the Rise of Skywalker, sure, I didn't like it. But after Rian Johnsons, if you can even call it a movie, that was probably the best they could do to salvage things. Should have done the Dallas swerve and Luke just wakes up from a bad dream and restart the saga.

Lord of the Rings trilogy was great, the Hobbit, they should have just paid Peter Jackson what he wanted.

I think it's terribly overrated.

No comment on Showgirls.

I Loved This Quentin Tarantino Movie!

Three Days of the Condor
Runaway Jury
The Big Easy
Lord of War

Almost anything with Sam Jackson, Denzel or Stallone...kind of a Bruce Willis fan and like Chris Pine and Rosario Dawson.

Same goes for Robert Altman (with the exception of "MASH&quot .

This is a very good movie.

But it does break my heart at the end.

Cocaine Bear (surprisingly funny), Licorice Pizza, Three Billboards, Wonka, Nope

Phoenician Scheme -- beautiful and fun

Hated ............. well, I just don't watch subjects or actors I don't care for. TOPICS I ignore are -car racing and teen movies.

on the other hand any Michael Bay film. Hard for me decide which is the biggest crap fest; Armageddon or Pearl Harbor?
