Goodfellas. I have been sick the last few days so I have been stock on the couch. I fell asleep around the part when he meets Karen and woke up at the part when she flushes the coc down the toilet.
Great movie!
Great movie!

"The Reluctant Debutante" -- directed by Minelli, featuring Rex Harrison, Angela Lansbury, Sandra Dee (WOW). 1958 -- pre Camelot.
"Hi, Nellie" -- a newspaper-themed movie circa 1934 w Paul Muni in the lead. This is a wonderful "B" movie and worth the time to watch.
"Himmelskibet" - "A Trip To Mars" 1918 a full length space opera

Skyscraper, Dwayne Johnson, and Neve Campbell rocking that MILPH vibe - tell me you didn’t feel something every time someone mentioned “the Pearl”

Danny Boyles’ “ Yesterday” -quite enjoyed it, particularly uncredited Robert Carlyle’s turn as a very well preserved 78 year old John Lennon ( I wish I looked that good 10 years ago ). Lily James is simultaneously the wholesome best friend you grew up with and the focus of those hormonal urges we feel compelled to suppress.
I guess you could call it a movie? Vivarium. Oh wait, Google says it’s “ a stark minimalistic sci-fi parable of dehumanization”.

Nice comedy/drama about two heavily handicapped young men who try and live a 'normal' and dignify life but meet stubborness by the people who want to help them and say they know better and a reality-check when it comes to living on their own for real. Very funny at times and - of course - very moving at other moments. Reminded me of dutch film of a decade back about a group of handicapped youth who rent a van to go to Spain at this whorehouse where they want to lose their virginity to some hooker who supposedly does it with wheel-chair bound disabled men. Can't remember the tilte though...

Probably already mentioned, but enjoyed the hell outta “Ford vs Ferrari” - Damon and Bale deliver a crazy ride. Almost got a bit woozy on some of that night driving in the rain.
Watched dead pool last night (was on TV) and watched dispicable me with my daughter tonight.

Too bad about the documentary thread being closed due to premature devolution into a political minefield - moderators, I hope that’s not out of bounds to mention?
A couple of posts back I commented on finally getting around to watching “Ford v Ferrari”, and couldn’t help myself from a little Googling and YouTubing on the subject. Stumbled across a couple of delights: over hour long interview with Shel, and the story of Ford’s triumphant return with the new GT to win on the 50th anniversary of the 1966 sweep.
Behind the scenes of the movie making impressed upon me that the most skillful driving in the race scenes is that of the camera rigs with full sized race cars attached. It’s my understanding that the only CGI is that of the crowds - all the racing and crash scenes were as “real” as Hollywood and the insurance underwriters would allow.
Racing aficionados feel free to critique the historical accuracy as much as you like, but remember this was primarily a piece of entertainment, and I thought they did a helluva job.
