Movies and TV shows

I wish @Maradona37 was here and gave his recommendation as to what's worth a watch these days. The last one I liked was Napoleon...he liked it too.
Other than that, I am digging 1970s...that's the era where code of conduct censorship was lowered and scenes became braver and less constrained but not to the point of today's soft porn or exaggerated blood and gore effects.
1970s movies never lost their originality in how the stories were told.
I recommend, in any order, Taxi Driver, Sting, , ...And Justice for All, Serpico, Alien, Missouri Breaks, A bridge too far, Godfather 1 and 2, Dog Day Afternoon, French Connection 1 (2 no good imo), Towering Inferno, to begin with for easy enjoyable watching.

Which genre do you want?

Anything other than horror, fantasy, comedy, action or romance (unless it is a costume book adaptation...for instance Pride and Prejudice with Keira Knightley was excellent but that's already 21 years)

Thriller?
Drama?
Historical?

Last King of Scotland
Atonement
The King's Speech
1917
Take Shelter
Evening (got bad reviews but I enjoyed it)
Walk the Line


In no particular order
 
I forgot about the more recent;
Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy
That was interestingly boring, perfect for a drury weather afternoon.
The man with thick glasses ruled.:lol:

Excellent recommendation!
My visiting guests always want me to take them to the house, where it was made and take pictures in front of it.

And from there, about 1 hour drive down to John Wayne Gacy's house where he buried 29 bodies of young males...
The original house was razed but the rumor has it that the owner of the new house rebuilt in that place went insane.😲

There's a Netflix documentary but I yet to see a crime movie about the story. There's a few out there maybe I'll give them a shot.

Same with Leopold and Loeb.

So you imply; I and Temptation are the same persons with two phones replying to each other with emoticons.
That's a rich suggestion.
You're a lot of fun...😁
Say some more funny shit!

Flag #1 to help your cause - you and Tempt should be online at same time on the forum. Not taking turns in switched profiles.:lol:
