My wife and I watched To kill a Mockingbird just a few weeks ago. She had never seen it (she's from the Philippines, so it's understandable). I had seen this movie so many times in school, first time watching outside of a school setting, such a great movie. onlyweaknesskryptonite 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onlyweaknesskryptonite Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 So back to the Actor. This one Gene Wilder. Like so many of the ones I have already mentioned you can pick just about any movie he has been in and will not be disappointed. That said here are 3 I would say that if you haven't seen them you, you should at least once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger66 Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Not sure anyone mentioned it here but DEEP SPACE 9 is a great worthy series... might even be the best of all the Star Treks for continuing story lines, character development, plot twists and emotional impact etc Namtak 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Needless to say , it’s one of the most visceral , jingoistic and accurate portrays of combat and camaraderie displayed on film, Spielberg’s decision to use bleach bypass to subdue the colors was a wonderful touch in a film he credited as an homage to his father .Tom Hanks had one heck of a run in the 90’s. Terrence Malicks “ Thin red line “ came out later in the year and never got the same attention SPR did although it’s a powerful / nature/ philosophical take on war and these are two of my favorites . I’ll do a war film list next ... . Namtak 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep telling my kids to watch a great, ahead-of-its-time tv show from the 1970s but I do not think it is available free anywhere (at least not when I checked last) Roger66 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old_Man_Adam Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Including the two above “ saving private Ryan” ” thin red line “ ( a sequel to “ from here to eternity “) * for the record , I preferred “American sniper “ and “ lone survivor” novellas more than the films “ life is beautiful “ and “ empire of the sun” are both set against the backdrop of WW2 and are powerful dramas onlyweaknesskryptonite, bentbryan and Namtak 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hear hear, I wholeheartedly agree! Namtak 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
