Hacksaw Ridge was a "Big" movie, so I wanted to see it in the theater. It was worthwhile, as was "Dunkirk". Dunkirk on the big screen was a spectacle, on a small screen, it would have been a forgettable movie.

I used to go to movies all the time - weekly. Now, I pick and choose, maybe one or two a year, Dunkirk was the last one I went to. Partly because of the cost, mostly because there's not been anything worth watching. Another Superhero movie? Gee, that's original. And a buncha sequels and re-makes and re-made Space Operas? Whee.

Though, I gotta admit that the "Death Wish" remake has my attention. I like Bruce Willis. :-)

Anyway, to my point, in looking at your list, you might enjoy "13 Hours". Made me mad, but it's a decent Arab shoot-em-up.

/rant off. Thanks for listening....

Thanks for the ‘13 Hours’ recommendation. I’ve seen that movie and it’s a winner. I suspect politics keeps it off the list of popular movies.

I read the book first and the movie followed the book most closely.
