Just really great movies

Leaving Las Vegas and Adaptation are two Nic Cage movies worth watching.

Which one? The original with the Rat Pack or the one with Clooney and Pitt. For the record, I like both.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Anything Charlie Kaufman wrote.

Moonstruck for sure. But I think most Nic cage is worth watching.

ā€œBrooklynā€ was where Saoirse Ronan earned her first of her first three Best Actress Oscars. It’s more of a ā€œfilmā€ than a ā€œmovie movieā€ but it’s just a great flick.

Saoirse Ronan is a great actress and that was a great movie.

I’m mostly joking about Nic Cage, he can be great but he can also be pretty bad. Still, Raising Arizona was his best work by far.

I’ve read that Nicholas Cage had a serious IRS problem years ago, and was essentially forced into taking any role he could land

National Treasure is one of the greatest films ever made. Right up there with Citizen Kane.

I’ve never seen Citizen Kane, but I need to. It just played a prominent role in a good book I’m reading.

The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance.

Has there ever been a cooler movie duo than Paul Newman & Robert Redford?

Finally watched it about 6 months or so ago. Very innovative and definitely one to see.
Been spoofed so many times, that most people know the ending, but still worth a watch.

I’ve seen Airplane mentioned on here a couple of times. If you like Airplane, you may like Top Secret. I loved that show in my teenage years (and still do).

Stardust is fun movie.

I watched The Ridiculous 6 on Netflix while I was recovering from an illness and all drugged up and laughed good at that one. Starts slow but gets better. Probably not as good if you’re not drugged up.

I like weird stuff. The Ballad of Buster Scruggs was different.

I liked Buster Scruggs a lot. Coen Brothers films are always excellent.
