Perfect movies...movies that give you everything you hoped for, and you can watch and feel good.....

[Lord Long Rod]

Here is one....

John Wick.....the first movie was a perfect movie......the last two, and likely the next one, were all just "more," not "better."

But the first John Wick was a perfect, small movie.....rewatchable whenever it is on.........that scene in the pool room of the night club is great..........

Agreed on number 1. I didn't like no. 2 at first, but it grew on me with the background story. It is a heavier story to deal with. I think it is longer too.

I am looking forward to Monday night so I can check out 4.

I'm not talking about the blockbusters here....I am talking about the smaller movies that are everything you want in a movie, and you feel good everytime you watch them....they don't change the world, they don't win awards, but they are perfect movies in every way they do things...

For me?

Rustler's Rhapsody
Blade
LadyHawk
The Crow
Blood of Heroes
Zoro the Gay Blade
Gotcha
Zombieland

more recently,

Bullet Train

I'll add to the list as I think of more....

I think the first season of Ted Lasso is amazingly uplifting - and I cringe at using that term.

 

[Crick]

Literally no one will agree with my list.


Gettysburg
Fury
Saving Private Ryan
The Patriot
We Were Soldiers
Halloween




Try to guess which genre I like the best.

SPOILER
re: Saving Private Ryan
At the end, When the elderly Matt Damon gets to Tom Hank's grave and tells him he tried... I haven't cried that hard at a movie since I was a little kid.

Another awesome movie released in 2000 was the film starring Nicholas Cage named Gone In 60 Seconds.

God bless you and him always!!!

"We were Soldiers" Mel Gibson. The left liberal Hollywood establishment hated it because it showed the U.S. Military as heroes in Vietnam instead of psychotic outcasts.

You mentioned Chris Pine in the new Star Trek movies.

I think he was the perfect choice as Kirk. To hell with the diehards that have a problem the with changed timeline, I love the new movies and choice of actors to carry on the role.

I like Pine as CPT Kirk
He has the attitude and swagger of Kirk but is not doing a William Shatner imitation
