Would Anyone Suggest a Good Movie Please? (shameless vanity)

For a myriad of reasons, I have spent the last few months watching a movie most every weeknight. I have finally gotten my money’s worth from my Netflix account.

But, lately I have had trouble finding movies I think I will like. I scour Netflix and am having a hard time finding movies that interest me, though I know they are out there.

My interest runs from war movies to action flicks to quirky indy films to foreign art things.

Some of my favorite movies I have seen the past few months are Defiance, all of the Sean Connery Bond films, Sleeper, The Right Stuff, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead, Riding Giants, a Hard Day’s Night, and a few foreign artsy films whose names I don’t recall.

By far my favorite movie I have seen lately is Everything is Illuminated.

I have no interest in horror flicks, romance movies, teen gross out flicks or most movies made in the 1960s.

Could anyone be so kind as to suggest a good movie or two?

Thanks

Random Harvest - old WWI movie made in the 1940s. Reasonably obscure, but one of my favorites.

"Serenity"
by Josh Weadon
also his "Firefly" series that is the one season series that preceded the movie.

That was such a bizarre movie. I watched it, some of it made sense.

Maybe you have to be bent a particular way?
