go see 1917, a heart-stopping raw all in one continuous shot take you on an impossible journey across abandoned no-mans-land to stop a suicidal attack. 
You will want to see this on the biggest screen possible!

This popped up on my Amazon account as a free "rental",  so I watched it.

A powerful movie based upon a true story.

Just watched The Trail of the Chicago 7 on NF https://www.netflix.com/title/81043755 and was taken back in time to the late sixties. I was on Kwajalein in the Marshall Islands during the trial and all the news we got was from Armed Forces Radio. Upon returning to the states in 1970 I became caught up in the counter culture of the time and became an anti-war protester and followed the news about the Yippies and SDS and all the sit-ins and demonstrations. Turbulent times for sure.

The file is well produced and very engaging with historical footage intertwined with the recreated Chicago demonstrations. It would be impossible to translate the six month long trial into a two hour film but they do an admiral job recreating the courtroom drama.

Broaching the films embracing historical turning points, I've watched this classic more than a dozen times over the last month.  Turned the captions on and I continue to catch new words.  Last night I discovered a new one --- galluses, which are suspenders.

This must be one of the best movies of all time --- wonderful acting, script, and dialogue.

Netflix's Queen's Gambit is an awesome show...




Also if your a a fan of Frank Zappa, a biopic just dropped on Amazon. You have to rent it, but it's well worth it if you are a fan!

Ditto.  And you don't need to be a chess player to enjoy it.

That's on our "to watch" list.  I watched The Outpost on Netflix this weekend.  I highly recommend it.

Star rating's are not always a good indicator. At 2 1/2 stars, I found this extremely interesting and pertinent during these times of viral spread.
"The film tells the story of Ron Woodroof (Matthew McConaughey), an AIDS patient diagnosed in the mid 1980s when HIV/AIDS treatments were under-researched, while the disease was not understood and highly stigmatized"

Seen "Dallas Buyers Club" on Netflix yet?
