A GREAT movie suggestion

[JethroB]

Not Great but pretty good.

Watched Hustle recently on Netflix. (2022) Pretty good sports themed movie. Not the typical Adam Sandler role. If it wasn’t for some unnecessary language I‘d call it family friendly.

For those who would enjoy shocking/violent movies these two stand out:
The Unforgivable - Not family friendly. Sandra Bullock like you have never seen her.

Not a fan of violent movies that are just for the sake of being violent, but the wife and I usually enjoy Sandra Bullock movies, so thought we'd check it out. We stopped watching this one after 20-25 minutes, just couldn't stand it, wasn't entertaining at all.

Sometimes a Great Notion. It is also known as "never give an inch" in some circles because of studio pissyfits.

Watch Hachi: A Dog's Tale....great movie based upon a true tale...

I'm more in to 40's and 50's movies...WW II war flicks (12 O'Clock High and They Were Expendable are my favorites) and early 50's crime (The Asphalt Jungle, almost any Kubrick crime film)

The Reacher series on Amazon is better. I'd read all the books before the movie and Tom Cruise is NOT Reacher.

Yes, I agree.

The John Wick series was pretty dang good also!

If you can find it, 1957, " A Face in the Crowd," directed by Elia Kazan, immediately went in my top 20 movies of all time. You see a very different Andy Griffith, as a dramatic actor in his first role. Its right up there with any thing Orson Wells ever directed.

I agree...it was a great movie, but it is a bit out of the norm for Andy. I also liked "No Time for Sergeants".

I've seen "Same kind of different as me" and it is a good movie.

These are very good movies...
Not so family friendly, "Man on Fire"
If you like the John Wick series, check out the Equalizer 1 & 2. Both very good.

Also, more family friendly.. "The finest hours" True story with Chris Pine. and "Unstoppable" True story but wrong state and some details off. Denzel and Chris Pine.

Football "Invincible" True story - Marc Walburg
Basketball "Coach Carter" True story - Samuel L Jackson
Boxing "Cinderella man" True story - Russell Crow
Horse raising "Seabiscuit" True Story - Toby McGuire

"No Time for Sergeants" was a great flick.

I use to hate graphic novels, turned in to movies.
Lately, I have come around, as these are not for kids anymore.
Deadpool was a a fun eye opener that this super hero format can be adult entertainment.
"The Watchmen," Is also a graphic novel, adapted to film, that doesn't attempt to be children's entertainment.

Joe Pickett is an excellent, family-friendly series on Netflix.

Joe is a park ranger with a family that has moved to a small town in Wyoming.


The gist is that there is something wrong going on and Joe is the only one interested in finding out what is going on.
Very well written with some excellent twists. I don't remember any swearing or real violence in the 10 episodes.

Fall 2022 - great movie!
Had a problem with my firestick when i just started to stream it , but thanks to this article was able to solve the issue pretty quick. Don't recommend to watch it if you are afraid of the heights. My wife started to watch it with me, but went to bad after first 10 minutes.
