A documentary called Standing in the Shadow of Motown. Excellent and the music is fantastic!!!

The Fox. This is a bit dated now but still worth a look at. This is from 1967 BEFORE lesbian movies could have a happy ending..lol

Wrestling Ernest Hemingway (Shirley MacLaine)We enjoyed it very much, check it out and see what you think

Evil Dead 2 from 1987

Laughable now but was scary as hell back then!

Yet Bruce Campbell makes the movie.

Barfly (1987)
____________

Barfly has held up over time and it's as good as I remember. Written by Charles Bukowski and somewhat autobiographical (I think), it's about people who unapologetically live on the edges of society. Loved the chemistry and honesty between Henry (Mickey Rourke) and Wanda (Faye Dunnaway)—job well done by both.

It's vulgar, violent, insightful, funny, sad, and good.

Bukowski makes an appearance in one of the bar scenes.

Weird, I *just* rewatched that yesterday. I saw it when it came out. There was an evening of charles bukowski at the Rio (the sort of funk repetory theater here that does readings, bands, cult films, animation fests, B-fests etc) and I couldn't go as i didnt have the dosh, so decided to watch it on my own.

It was good. I love mickey rourke and fay dunnaway... both incredibly good actors. bit short for me. I forgot it was more a 3-4 days in the life of.

Starred Up.

Incredible. Really intense, gripping, real to life. Starred up is the term used in the UK for young offenders that get moved up to adult prison early.

It's a UK prison drama and very well done. well acted and very real plot. the violence is not gratuitous and it's not a moral fairy tale like so many hollywood flicks are. That gets on my nerves sometimes. It's just a raw and honest story written by a man who worked in the UK prisons as a volunteer therapist.

http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/star...h=starred%20up

you can find the trailer there as well.

I love rottentomatoes as a review site, btw, my personal tastes usually run along par with the group reviews done. Sometimes there is a huge discrepancy between reviewers and audience grading - which is interesting...

I tend to follow that rather than netflix (some incredibly good movies on netflix that won tons of international film festival accolades get 2/3 stars and some of the SHITTEST things I've seen gets 4.5 stars) or imbd. Better descriptions, better reviews.

I really do want to see Mr Turner and The Imitation game.

I love biopics.

I loved Wilde with steven fry and jude law.

Id like to see a decent one about Tesla and one about Dirac

I use Netflix also and have added an extention to Chrome called Flix Plus that adds the ratings for Rotten Tomatoes as well as IMBD to the Netflix rating and they are live links for a straight click over to which ever you want to read in-depth. I like getting to see all three lined up together for an over-all rating.

Suspect older movie with Cher which turned out to be very good

A judge commits suicide, and his secretary is found murdered. A homeless deaf-mute man is arrested for her murder. Public defender Kathleen is assigned by the court as his lawyer. She sets to find the real killer, and gets help from the a congressional advisor, together they discover a dangerous circle of corruption in high places.

Captain America...what a pile of crap. It lived down to expectations.

Young Adults

Unless you're a huge fan of Patton Oswalt and want to see one of his finest roles ever, I'd skip this one!
