The Gilbert Grape was one of my collectors' items (but don't forget that Depp is a great actor). But I think DiCaprio is rather over-acting in his movies after he became an adult. I was surprised that he was I think the main actor in the Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (OUTH) and not Brad Pitt, while I used to think DiCaprio is a Brad Pitt wannabee. DiCaprio is always tried very hard to look charismatic in a movie while Brad Pitt is I believe more charismatic in real life...
I watched OUTH and then got bored. May be I will watch it again when I have no other options, because there are a lot of great stars especially Al Pacino there so how can it be bad? But the fact that I abandoned watching the movie should prove that it is not good enough...
The only cool part that I remember is when Brad Pitt went 'home' and interacted with his bulldog.

Thanks for the tip - I caught this one about a week ago and enjoyed it immensely.
Jakob is quite talented and his reverence for the history of the west coast sound is hard to miss.
Finally got around to watching all of The Highwaymen. Kevin Costner is one of my favourite actors and I really enjoy period movies that put a great deal of effort into period correctness.
K-19 The Widow maker.
Enjoyable movie loosely based on a near catastrophic nuclear accident in an early Soviet ballistic missile sub.

OK - I have to "fess-up":
I'm 54, I have NO kids, and I watched "Despicable Me" the other night.
Hey, it was cute, and good for a few laughs
(Plus being an "officially trained" Enginerd [and Sailor] - I could FINISH Vector's tag-line even before HE did...
you know - the part about having "Both Direction AND __________")
To which my loving spouse groaned, "You're SUCH a Geek!...."

Until tonight I didn't know that Henry Fonda played in Spaghetti Westerns.
A fun movie true to the Spaghetti tradition.

I'm 50 and I think I have watched all 3 Despicable Me movies. My wife calls me a nerd all the time!
Enjoyed Ford v Ferrari this weekend. Where did they get all of those vintage race cars? CGI?
When the Ford team arrives at Le Mans and sees the gorgeous Ferrari, they say "Well if this is a beauty contest, we just lost!" and I agree.

Yeah - The GT40 was ALL about "Form follows FUNCTION" and there's a simple elegance in that.
I like how one of them had the "Gurney Bubble" in the top section of the door that fit-into a cutout in the roofline. (Dan Gurney was abnormally tall for a race car driver of that era - they had to create a little extra room to accommodate the top of his required helmet.)

Just watched The Report last night. I found Adam Driver to be annoying when he started being in EVERYTHING, but now admit he is a great actor.
Also watched F vs F last weekend. The Ferrari was a beauty. I also liked the GT40. The movie showed just how good Ken Miles was. I was racing formula fords in the mid-70s and felt the tug.
