The one that sticks out that I really liked was Enemy at the Gates with Jude Law. True story about a Russian sniper.

I loved that movie - saw it again the other day.

Pushing Tin
Fire Sale
Defiance directed by Edward Zwick -- the true story of the four Bielski brothers who fled the Nazis.................I urge you to watch it. Has 3 of my all time favorite actors

that was a great movie. I was about to say for its time, but man, just a great movie even if it doesn't have today's great graphics.

Saw a good one (new) on Amazon Prime a couple of nights ago, The Vast of Night.

I liked Pushing Tin - I'll check out the other two films for sure. We are polar opposites in politics, but we tend to like the same type shows.

The Loved One - 1960 - the greatest black humor movie of all time

 

[LGM]

Count of Monte Cristo
So I Married an Axe Murderer
The Game
The Negotiator
The Lincoln Lawyer
The Wanderers

 

[Mingo]

Prisoners - anyone see that one? Really good movie..

Silent Night (2002) a few by that title, but this one involves American and German soldiers lost at a cabin on Christmas Eve - prior to the Battle of the Bulge.

A couple come to mind in the so bad they are good category:

Lincoln the Vampire Slayer

Machete

 

[Draft Crazy]

Napoleon Dynamite for sure.

Coach Carter- I think it is a very good showing of how much adversity players and teams go through even while being successful

 

[Mingo]

Count of Monte Cristo
So I Married an Axe Murderer
The Game
The Negotiator
The Lincoln Lawyer
The Wanderers

Which Count of Monte Cristo? I like the old black and white one - with Robert Donat - but The Richard Chamberlain one was very well done.

 

[wishful thinking]

Defiance and Pushing Tin are both great movies. I never did see Fire Sale though, I like old comedies. Carbon Copy was a good old comedy, Denzel Washington's big break. I will have to check out some of those that you guys liked. The Game, The Negotiator and The Lincoln Lawyer were good. Haven't seen The Wanderers, I think.

Heathers qualifies here too.

You will love Defiance. I promise.

Silent Night was wonderful. Whole different perspective.
