Lost in America is great fun; and a terrific character study.

Two truly underrated movies that should have gotten more accolades:

COMEDY: “Let it Ride” with Richard Dreyfuss

DRAMA: “Beyond the Law” with Charlie Sheen (easily his best performance)

It sure beats “Wagon Train to the Stars”, right?

The film kept one off-balance the entire time. It was masterfully written and directed, while Alicia Vikander was remarkable! I was amazed at how well she portrayed her character.

The “Nest Egg” scene is classic.

And as long as you include Silent Movies, you must include

The Birth of a Nation (1915)

Which many include in the top 10 list.

She was so wooden it’s a miracle Swayze’s character didn’t get splinters.

So many good ones on your list.

Educating Rita is so underrated. My favorite Michael Caine movie.

One of my fav Grandad moments. 1980. I was 10. My GD got HBO when it came out. He asked me to watch The Shining with him cause he was scared to watch it. 😎😂
