If you have ROKU, you might look into ‘MIDSOMER MURDERS’. Twenty-four seasons and counting.

Or if you can find them, ‘GUNSMOKE’ ran for a boat-load of seasons.

I would suggest a doubleheader viewing of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid and The Sting. You could stick with the director George Roy Hill/Paul Newman connection by throwing in Slap Shot.

Try The Thin Man and its five sequels with William Powell and Myrna Loy for a vintage comedy movie marathon. Of course there's always the Marx Brothers movies.

Thanks. I’ve checked this thread a couple of times; always interested in what freepers recommend. As usual, golden oldies dominate. Unless I’ve overlooked something, Oppenheimer (2023) and See How They Run (2022) are the only recent films mentioned so far. Both are good, although the (very short) nude scene in Oppenheimer is entirely gratuitous.

I’m still determined to come up with a defensible “conservative top ten” list for 2023 but am still a couple short. I’m sure I would have found more had I pressed harder, but I really don’t watch many movies. I’ve seen a total of 37 movies this year, of which only 11 are 2023 releases. That might sound like a lot, but I watch virtually no tv. (One show this year, which I watched out of curiosity because of enthusiastic reviews from some critics I keep an eye on.) So: less than one movie a week — i.e., well under two hours a week of total tv/movie viewing time.

I am sure there are more good 2023 movies out there but our target acquisition systems are broken. I almost never go into movies cold; I follow leads and usually have a specific reason for watching whatever before I seek it out. I wish there were more conservative reviewers and more active discussion on conservative websites. The good stuff is hiding in plain site.

I’ll use The Death of Stalin and Old Henry as two fairly recent examples. Most freepers have seen them by now — including many who insist they never watch modern movies — and virtually all of us like them. Good conservative movies are still being made. We just don’t do a very good job of spotting them early and talking them up. Which is one of the reasons we’re losing the culture war.

Soooo? What did you go with? The ever popular, “I went to bed”, will be very disappointing.

"I like Tom Selleck in the Jesse Stone series."

Yeah, Very good series... William Devane had a small part in it and was outstanding...

DO NOT SEE “Maestro”. It’s a movie filled with faggotry with a musical backdrop.

good choice. Idiocracy is a great movie. Almost a documentary.
