What was the last movie you watched?

[RemyZee]

I last watched one of my all time most adored films: Punch-Drunk Love. The scoring, cinematography, and overall story elements (which portray a strange fellow fixated on a few peculiar schemes, with intermittent explosive disorder [it seems], largely misunderstood by his 7 sisters, coworkers, and everyone else, as he becomes the victim to a fraudulent and bullying scheme and how he deals with it, while also finding love) completely capture me. Barry Egan is a huge influence on the expression of my identity, and has been ever since I first watched the film.

another with this same effect is Lost in Translation. It was an easy pick with my love of the Japanese and their language and culture. Throw in Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson and you have a total win.

Punch Drunk love is one of my favorite films. Beautiful, funny, sad and sweet.

The 1978 version of invasion of the body snatchers is one of my favourite films. I've seen the 2007 version too. I am currently watching for the first time the 1956 version

So scary: the scenes where they are carrying the pods around.

I watched a show called Red Eye with Rachael McAdams and Cillian Murphy on it. It got pretty tense.

Sinners

I get why it's a polarizing film. There are people coming out of the woodwork - mostly the same people who champion every social cause to the most annoying degrees (yes, it can be overdone and come across as fake, even virtue signaling) - people claiming that it's the most astounding, original film in such a long, long time, etc. No, it's not. It's a more dramatic, social commentary laden and yet has lesser action and gore compared to a similar film from 1996. Now, I happen to really like both films, though. There are certainly hard to ignore differences that make either film more personal and/or appreciated by folks, but the amount of exact similarities are extremely hard to ignore, too and thus fair to be critical of.

Also, the screenplay was originally meant to be a Blade reboot for Marvel, but they turned it down, so Coogler and Jordan retooled it and took it to Warner Bros. That was the wise decision. It's too big and meaningful to be a Blade vehicle for what we all know Marvel usually doles out. We all got a better movie.

Dead Man Walking. It is about a death row convict and a nun who gives him counsel.

I really loved this movie and it made me rethink my position on capital punishment..

Sinking of the Lusitania: Terror At Sea (2007)

Interesting, but disturbing dramatic account of a commercial ocean liner sunk eight miles off the coast of Ireland by a German submarine in 1915. With a long standing allegation that was never actually proven.

That the British Admiralty under Churchill could have done a better job to protect the Lusitania. That it may have been deliberate negligence in an attempt to influence other neutral nations to enter the war against Germany, with particular focus on the United States.

Of the 1,195 passengers who perished, 159 of the passengers lost at sea were Americans. Though it would be some two years later that the US entered World War One.
