I thought it would be cool to start at thread about movies that we might recommend. It doesn’t have to be aviation movies, but that would be awesome too.
I saw a movie tonight on Netflix called “The Grizzlies.” It’s based on a true story about a new Canadian teacher who taught Inuit students the sport of lacrosse to improve their lives.
Here’s the IMBd.

Not a great movie (a little bit too storybook/fairy tale ending). But it has its moments.

Just saw a Fathom Event last night The Chosen - Messengers or something close to that. If you haven’t yet you should binge watch The Chosen series.
I've heard great things about The Chosen from multiple sources, I need to check it out.

YMMV, but I was done with the music after 30 minutes and wanted a story. When it came, the story was Mary and Joseph show up in Bethlehem and there no room in the inn, so Mary has to give birth in the stable. Sorry for the spoiler.

We went to see The Messengers last Thursday and I didn’t enjoy it. It was 1.5 hours of what I thought of as pretentious religious/Christmas music and a 20 minute episode that told the story of Jesus being born.Sorry you were disappointed. You left out the other part of the story where they had to sneak Mary Magdalene into see Mary and Mary had her write down part of the story that Luke needed to deliver to Luke and that Mary gave her the lambs clothes that were used to wrap Jesus in.
YMMV, but I was done with the music after 30 minutes and wanted a story. When it came, the story was Mary and Joseph show up in Bethlehem and there no room in the inn, so Mary has to give birth in the stable. Sorry for the spoiler.
The music was wonderful and the people performing were so joyful and very obviously enjoyed performing.

I was bored by it again. The visit was the only new part and it was mostly constructed. There's no evidence that Mary (mother) stayed with Lazarus after Jesus was killed.
But, back to the topic....what shows to watch.

My husband says it’s a “chick flick”. No, even as a kid, too young to care about romance, I took it to be an epic story of how the communist revolution tore apart the every day lives of good people, and it became the foundation of my lifelong hatred of leftism.

The end of the last episode of the miniseries is a massive twist I did not see coming and huge payoff. But after all the long credits there is another important scene, then after even more credits at the very end there is one more brief scene resolving an earlier subplot.

“Sheena” came up free with Amazon Prime. Anybody remember that one? With Tanya Roberts. Also known as “Sheena: Queen of the Jungle”. It bombed at the box office, got bad reviews and two thumbs down from Siskel and Ebert. I liked it.
Didn't she die not too long ago? Always rembered her in "The Beastmaster" and "That 70's Show".

That’s right, she did. Only 65. Got sepsis from a UTI. Was hiking when symptoms overcame her. Yikes.
Hey, Beastmaster is on Prime too, I think I’ll watch that again too. Maybe they are offering them because she died?

I watched Apocalypse Now for the first time in 20 years this weekend. That is one dark, fucked up movie. I think the acting was great, the music was great, but went down hill after Robert Duvall’s awesome “Charlie don’t surf” segment of the movie.
I have it on DVD and have watched it many times but not in a while. It's a great movie for sure but yes the last part is weird. Sheen's narration is haunting. What's really cool is 17 or so years later, his son ,Charlie, narrated Platoon in much the same way and sounds eerily similar.
"In Cold Blood" with Robert Blake is one of my favorites also.

It was clear from the beginning that they had to put out a movie that revived the main characters so they could continue the franchise. I remember when NPH showed up and I said "Hey, it's Doogie!" I honestly can't remember his speech. Lots of flashbacks to remind the audience of the previous Matrix movies since it's been so long. So... not great.

Certainly not the blockbuster of the previous 3, but not nearly as bad as I'd expect from the 4th movie in a sequel. But yeah, a bit repetitive.

Amazon Prime used to be great. Everything was “free” with your Prime membership. But then they added options to rent and buy which only blows up the results of your searches. Then they added “free with ads”. I DESPISE ads, so those are no go. And I hate paying for the rent or buy stuff. Now 90% of results are not free with Prime. Why the hell am I paying the Prime membership again? You can filter out everything and only see Prime results but it resets the filter off every time you log out.

I like sports, and subscribe to Hulu live TV late August thru the end of March madness, then it gets turned off until the next college football season. Yes, Prime sucks more and more each day, but I still do enjoy some of the Amazon prime streaming music, there is a decent selection of free stuff for listening. At some point, not too far into the future I think, the ever eroding value proposition of Prime will result in a cancel.Like Prime free 2 day shipping not necessarily being 2 day anymore.

I pretty much still like the “free shipping with prime” (yeah I know it’s built into the price) and I don’t care much whether it arrives in one day or a week. I usually forget I ordered it and am surprised when something shows up. I have to open it to see what it is.

I used to think that Amazon Prime automatically charged rent for a movie if it is one that you searched for (since they know you want to watch it). That's not really so, but I can still say that every single time I have searched for a movie I want to see, it is not free. EVERY SINGLE TIME. Honestly, for me and my tastes, virtually all the video services are like that. The VAST majority of selections are things that I never have and never will want to see. So I end up watching a few movies I like over and over--which gets old fast. Maybe it's good--I watch less TV these days.

Yes, they rarely have anything I actively search for on prime. And most of the new stuff is absolute stinking garbage. What I do is focus on international shows, they’re much better than the trash America puts out these days. But you have to be willing to read subtitles, however I am so deaf now I always have to read subtitles anyway so that doesn’t bother me.
What really annoys me is when I search for an old movie and what they offer is a remake.

The bad translation gets me too. Even with my deafness I can pick up some stuff and I know enough of other languages to know when it’s wrong. But I still like the original language audio. Nuance, inflection, emotion or whatnot comes through even if you don’t understand the language.
I hate that they don’t state the country of origin up front. You have to dig to find out if it’s there at all. Example: “Hero” on Amazon Prime right now. It shows up in the category “International” but where on the info page does it say what country it’s from? I can’t find it.

A few years ago I purchased all the episodes to The Outer Limits TV anthology (among other series) from Apple iTunes for something to watch while exercising on an elliptical. Yesterday Youtube recommended the following video. I couldn't recollect seeing such a dramatic scene - but as it turns out it is because the music in the original was muted to almost nothing. The poster, a retired sound editor, remixed the audio (and edited out some visuals) to bring the music to the front. While the clarity of the dialog suffers, the enhanced score does seem to add extra gravitas.

The first pilot on the trailer, John Casper (in the blue shirt) was shot down TWICE. Rescued once in the jungle, and once around VN-held islands in the gulf of Tonkin.
He’s one of the most humble men I’ve ever had the privilege to share some beers with. He’s a good friend of some warbird friends, and one buddy got John checked out in my buddy’s T-33.
Here’s part one of I think a three part YouTube series of John describing his exploits in the F-105. I think he’s speaking before a CAP unit, so no salty language like you might expect.

Rush, I think your husband is overreacting. Maybe I'm turning into a Girly Man, but I like Gone with the Wind and Dr, Zhivago. I don't mind romantic subplots or themes in movies as long as they tastefully done. It is part of the human condition to have relationships with the opposite sex and it is a big part of life for most people, I think. He needs to chill out.

We’ve both seen Das Boot, that’s a good one! And you know it is entirely possible he is just pushing my buttons for entertainment. He’s an asshole sometimes. ;D

Guys, I need help. Upon my recommendation my husband watched “The Railway Man” and told me it was a chick flick. We got in a fight about it. How can it be a “chick flick” when the core plot is the intense wartime conflict between two (male) enemies and how that impacts their lives for years to come? Basically the same theme as “All Quiet on The Western Front” (the novel, not the movie. The movie has the war part but is light on the subsequent PTSD part that’s in the novel.) Sure he meets and marries a girl, but so what? She’s not very important to the story. It’s actually his buddy who pushes him to confront his demons from the war.
Anyhoo, he says, because it focuses on feeeeeelings. Well yeah, but so what? Men aren’t allowed to have feelings?

You men will diss it, because it involves relationships, but it rocks seriously.

I think you don't understand ALL the reasons why that movie will get dissed... and it's not because of any relationship between father and son (or lack thereof)

It’ll have to come to Amazon Prime I guess, right now says “unavailable”. Sounds fun.

Waterloo Bridge was a recent purchase that I have only got 30 minutes into. I have a hint to its ending, which makes me not want to watch further. I might be persuaded to watch further.
"The Man from Earth" (TMFE) I watched just the other day. Script is by Jerome Bixby, who had written the story "It's a Good Life" that was made into a Twilight Zone episode and also wrote the Star Trek episodes "Mirror, Mirror", "Day of the Dove", "Requiem for Methuselah", and "By Any Other Name". TMFE is filmed in the style of "Twelve Angry Men" with a Methuselah-related plot line he had been working on since the 1940s but only completed literally on his death bed decades later. There is a hint in the story that the immortal in TMFE crossed paths with the immortal of "Requiem for Methuselah".

Btw, “Mirror Mirror” is probably my favorite StarTrek episode.

Me? It would be The Good the Bad and the Ugly. Sorry you posted too late for me to see this til now. What did you decide?“Mirror, Mirror” did help originate the “goatee means evil” meme, even among non-Trekkies.

My iTunes collection of movies is a tiny subset of movies I’ve ever seen and skews to older stuff I remembered liking but had forgotten details about. Not sure how often other people buy old movies they’ve already seen. DVD collection skews another way.
I watched “12 Angry Men” because it was not too long and reminds me of the good times here on Pilot Spin. ;)
LOTR would kill a couple days!

I need to watch 12 Angry Men again because I was the lone holdout against the 11 myself on the jury earlier this year. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen it.
I didn’t even know you could get movies on iTunes.
