A good movie that gets me....’Taking Chance’
I’ve seen all of those movies except the one about Churchill, which I intend to watch. I expect to enjoy it.
The rest of the movies on the list are outstanding and all are highly recommended.
Darkest Hour is OUTSTANDING
Wilson : I guess they named a lot of that Southern trash after old Stonewall. Frank 'Stonewall' Torrey : Who'd they name you after? Or do you know? Wilson : I'm saying that Stonewall Jackson was trash himself. Him and Lee and all the rest of them rebs. You, too. Frank 'Stonewall' Torrey : You're a low-down lyin' Yankee! Wilson : Prove it.
I just watched Lonesome Dove, the 4 part series. Life had me too busy in 1989 to catch it when it came out. An excellent show.
The current Godzilla film...Boston gets annihilated.
“A good movie that gets me....’Taking Chance’”
Any John Wayne flick.
I’d like to put in a good word for “On the Waterfront”, which on one level is a response to the people going against McCarthy.
“Book of Eli” — with Denzel W. At first blush it seems sci-fi-ish and Mad Max-ish; but it is so much more than that. It is post-apocalypse, and in the tyrannical chaotic world that ensues, the film redirects the viewer to emphasize the fact that the lone remaining Bible is the most important thing in existence.

Sorry.
“Book of Eli” — my favorite Denzel W. film.

A brilliant film. Kevin Bacon should have gotten an Oscar for it.

Only place I can find creative works compatible with conservative values anymore is in Japan.
“the film redirects the viewer to emphasize the fact that the lone remaining Bible is the most important thing in existence.”
Except it’s right next to a copy of the koran.

Darkest Hour is brilliant. Oldham deserved his Oscar.
RE: Only place I can find creative works compatible with conservative values anymore is in Japan.
Can you direct us to a few films? Akira Kurosawa’s SEVEN SAMURAI was fantastic.
I also liked the film “SHALL WE DANCE”.
