I admire the Best Picture Oscar-Winner movies, art films, comedies, suspense and crime drama, and so forth. But sometimes I just like a great piece of entertainment. I was just now waiting for my wife to come home from the store, and watching a bit of The Fugitive, with Harrison Ford and Tommy Lee Jones. I was reminded of what a great piece of entertainment that is. All OK? Share your thoughts about the movies you just love to watch because they’re such great movies. I call them “movie movies.” I don’t called these “films.”

The Producers is one of the great comedies. Springtime for Hitler still makes me laugh so hard I cry.

One of my favorite movies of all time. Another:

The Shawshank Redemption

I have seen it 1,000,000 times. But I still love it. Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman are fantastic. Bob Gunton is also great as the Warden.

My problem is that every time I watch it I’m humming the tune to “Springtime for Hitler” for the next day or two.

I really like movies with Native American themes. Dances With Wolves is a classic. Wind River and Hostiles are two of my favorites.

You’ll really like “Little Big Man”

Vampire’s Kiss is one of his best. It’s outrageous!

Wind River

Is that the movie with Jeremy Renner? If so, I walked out during the rape scene. Hard pass.

Has someone done this?
I couldn’t find one.

Right out of the chute, IMHO:

Brilliant acting, tragic, hopeful, sincere and timeless

Contagion?

@Duhwayne

Contagion?

It was pretty good entertainment. I don’t think I’d go out of my way to watch it again but I didn’t walk out thinking I wanted my money back. That’s a low standard, I know, but it works for me.

Who has seen this?

I just watched it four days ago on a recommendation from my daughter. It was fantastic. The actor who played Saroo as a five-year-old blew me away. Plus, I have this weird attraction to Rooney Mara.

Great film.

Here’s another good one…check out “Running on Empty” from 1988. It has River Phoenix as a teenager in a family that is constantly on the run as fugitives.

This is more of a small film than a movie movie, but it’s really great and didn’t get much attention. I hope you can find it somewhere on Netflix or Amazon or YouTube. “The Way Way Back.“ It was one of the first movies in which Steve Carell played a character who is kind of a jerk. In addition to Carrell, the cast includes Tony Colette, Sam Rockwell, Maya Rudolph, Allison Janney, and Amanda Peet.

My top 3 are:
The Shawshank Redemption - for its acting and overall quality. It’s #1 on IMDB for a reason.
Fight Club - for the social commentary and for being one of the only movies to discuss topics like masculinity and consumerism in a way men will appreciate.
Inception - for Christopher Nolan and his determination to use practical effects.

Can you briefly state why?
