Just watched Zero Dark Thirty again, 2 hours 37 minutes but I had no issues paying attention to the end, it's all about presentation

....aaaand I might be a sucker for war/ spy flicks

Haven't seen that. Will have to look in to it.

But 2 hrs and 37 min! AUGH!!

It's one of those movies that just gains momentum all of the way until the end, you'll be fine

If a movie's good, time stands still

I am so glad I was too old to even consider shopping at this place during its peak of the early 2000s. But I clearly remember walking past the stores inside of Malls. Hearing the loud ass electronic music and smelling that shitty, overpowering cologne, emanating from its entrance.

This documentary movie is of zero surprise about the exclusive culture and pervs who ran it at the top. Worth a watch...

I agree. A really good movie can hold your attention. Those are the special ones. The ones you never forget.

As kinda the total opposite, the few minute (not kidding, w/i the first 60 seconds!) of Stallone's Driven, I knew that I was watching a disaster. Never has a movie shown itself to be so lousy so fast.

Great movies over two hours:
Pulp fiction: The best long movie ever.
Bridge over the river Kwai
The matrix
Fight club
Forrest Gump
Jerry Maguire
True lies
Edit:
I forgot Schindler's list and saving Private Ryan

First time back in the theatre in 2.5 years.

AGain, I started this and it is way, way, way too long. SO many Netflix shows are drawn out. This needed an hr, tops.

It was excellent! Really good acting (except for some cheesy parts) and very suspenseful. I have a feeling this one is going to fly under the radar though.

100%.

Their docutainment series generally do not have enough content to cover 4-5 60 minute episodes.

Saw Blazing Saddles when it first came out, in 1974, in a theater in Westwood, Ca. Was on a date with my future wife, who I am still married to.

Such a great and funny movie. Mel Brooks is a comic genius.

Yes, I agree. I was 19. What a riot of a movie.

Cleavon Little and Gene Wilder were awesome.

MoeTE87 · 06-27-2022, 11:22 AM

Blazing Saddles and Spaceballs are my top two movies ever! History of the World is a close 3rd too.

Finished watching Hustle with Adam Sandler...I must say, it was a great movie and I thought his acting was better than expected since a lot of his movies are towards the funny / immature side.

Esteban · 06-27-2022, 11:28 AM

Another Mel Brooks movie that I like.

Esteban · 06-27-2022, 11:32 AM

Here's a scene with Mel Brooks' wife, Ann Bancroft.

Always thought of her as a serious actor, but she's funny. And to top it off, she married Mel so you know she has to have a sense of humor, living with him. lol

Pretty sure I was about 10, 1988/89 when I saw it.
Probably didn't understand much.

I liked Spaceballs too. Here's a funny scene:

I like how the scene uses John Hurt, from the original Alien movie.
