The Straight Story. Richard Farnsworth gives the performance of his career. There are no bad guys, no plots to foil. Just an elderly man meeting strangers and imparting life lessons that will stick with you. Great score, too.
>>The Feynman Lectures on Physics<<
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I still have them on by shelf; but, the volume on Quantum Physics is almost totally obsolete now.
Feynman wrote before quarks and before the electroweak force was discovered. Particle physics was a complete mess back then.
Quotes:
King Arthur: Either what we hold to be right, and good, and true IS right and good and true for all mankind under God, or we're just another robber tribe.
King Arthur: May God grant us the wisdom to discover right, the will to choose it, and the strength to make it endure.
I’m sorry; but, you couldn’t pay me to watch this list of movies (and, I have actually seen one or two of them).
McClintock on youtube in HD widescreen. Throughout John Wayne voices conservative remarks that still resonate today. Great cast with Maureen O’Hara and others. Humerous moments keep it going.
The HD video shows panoramic views missing from previous TV versions and VHS. Even if you’ve seen it before it’s well worth revisiting.

Try this one:
“Mr. Church”
Starring Eddie Murphy in a unique dramatic performance.

I just got done with “Foyle’s War” - seven seasons or so on Netflix. Murder mystery like “Murder She Wrote” but set in England during WWII. Some history infused with the storyline, and lots of great old cars - and the old buses are really cool. Very good acting. I’m not one to rewatch movies much - and never TV shows. I plan on watching it again some day.
