Taking the night shift with my newborn has given me the chance to watch a lot of the movies I’ve always wanted to. So far, I’ve enjoyed Taxi Driver, Glengarry Glen Ross, The Last Temptation of Christ, and The King of Comedy. I found My Left Foot and In The Name of the Father (both Daniel Day Lewis films) to be incredibly boring, The Lighthouse was like the other Robert Eggers films I’ve seen in that it was very stylish and weird, and Natural Born Killers is one of the dumbest movies ever made.
So, any recommendations? Kind of looking for classics here.

Sep 16, 2024 08:18 Ahh, thank you. I think I’m going to go on a Hackman kick for a bit. Watched several De Niro movies lately, earlier stuff. I find old movies and old actors just have a lot of substance that is missing from newer films. |

Sep 16, 2024 09:14 I think Gene was also in the original the Poseidon adventure 1972 film about the sinking cruise ship. He's definitely one of those actors with a lot of character and gravity in the parts he plays, and the films themselves have a lot of body. |

Sep 16, 2024 17:42 So yes, I’ve seen the original Poseidon Adventure, good movie, and Tango and Cash, decent action movie as well. I have also seen Nightcrawler and thought it was pretty good. True Romance is definitely on the list to see. |

I nearly made a joke about how long it was, and indeed how boring it is. There are better out there. |
