Movies! The movie thread

Just watched a great movie from the past: Shattered with Tom Berenger.

Watched it on tubi, through Firestick. Love the remote on Firestick; tiny, slim, fits in your hand perfectly, very few buttons, has a round dial that accomplishes many functions.

Thanks again, Sedan_Clan.

Top Gun Maverick was great! I expected it to be good, but it still exceeded all my expectations. MURRICA!

About top gun Maverick:

Spoiler alert!

I really enjoyed it. It's not the greatest movie ever, as some had personally told me, but I did really enjoy it. I thought it was a little bit too sentimental, and Iran will not have fifth generation stealth fighters. That was kind of silly. The Russians can't provide themselves with fifth generation fighters. But I love the last ride of the F 14, and how that might have accurately been portrayed. Kinda.

Ps they should not let people watch this movie and drive sports cars home. Way too dangerous.

^^ Haven't seen it yet so I can't read the above.

Will see it eventually. All the good opinions of it.

I like Tom Cruise, anyway.

He is a real movie star. Kinda like me, if I've been given a chance.

Yeah, sure...

Top Gun: Maverick was a good flick. It brought back Pearl Harbor feels/vibes.

Or motorcycles

Fun video from real Top Gun pilots. It's cool to hear them break down some of the maneuvers pulled off in the movie.

BMW F22 · 06-06-2022, 05:53 PM

Watched and old movie titled “Identity” with John Cusack, Ray Liotta, and Amanda Peet. Pretty enjoyable. Going to watch “Eraser” with Arnold Schwarzenegger tonight. Love me these action and thriller movies.

For some weird reason, I always confuse this w another film…one of them involves some supernatural elements, killing demons, probably not this one…argh…one w Matthew McConaghey?

Good choice.
Also, a Bridge Too Far.

Feel good clips for the day.. from 1983! See if these two don't make you smile and remember times gone by from pre 9/11, pre Irag, pre Libya, pre Afghanistan, pre Syria, pre Somalia, pre WooFlu, etc. etc. etc.

Yes, makes you forget all the troubles in the world of today. Even if just for a few minutes.

Thanks for posting.

Pre-internet and social media...

Anyone recall Ravenous (1999)?
I loved it from the first watch... haven't seen it in years, going to try to dig it up. IMO, underrated and deserving of a view. Jeffrey Jones was fantastic, Robert Carlyle too.

Ravenous is a 1999 horror Western cannibal film directed by Antonia Bird and starring Guy Pearce, Robert Carlyle, Jeffrey Jones and David Arquette.[3] The film revolves around cannibalism in 1840s California and some elements bear similarities to the story of the Donner Party and that of Alferd Packer. Screenwriter Ted Griffin lists Packer's story, as recounted in a couple of paragraphs of Dashiell Hammett's The Thin Man, as one of his inspirations for Carlyle's character.
