In terms of overlooked movies, I think "The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford" is a masterpiece. It's gained a bit of a cult following since it's release, but still probably overlooked by people. For classic film - "The Little Foxes."


I love "Ghost Dog," but I also own "Heavy Mental" by Killah Priest, so this movie was basically made for me. Honestly, "Dead Man" and "Ghost Dog" would be a hell of a double bill. Same sort of pacing, same pre-ordained ending, same mysticalism.

The Man from Earth (2007) is one of my all-time favorite movies. I'd recommend it to anyone that likes sci-fi.

Started watching "Suits" last night (I know, I'm right on top of this stuff). Enjoyed the first episode, then realize there's 136 of them!

That seems like quite a commitment.

I assume some of you have watched. Worth it?

First two or three seasons were a lot of fun. Eventually it just becomes very samey. But I watched a lot of it. Great soundtrack. If you made a drinking game out of the number of times you hear someone yell "God damn" you will die.

I think from season 2 to a few from the end are a lot of fun. I'd recommend a watch and just stop when it starts getting dumb, or at least overly duplicative.

Yeah, my concern was that the lead attorney would get to be a little much on a binge watch. Maybe I'll watch a few at a time and if I miss it I'll go back.

My wife likes it and it's become rare for us to enjoy the same show so we'll see.

Thanks for your input.

Suits had one of my favorite ever pilot episodes. Gotta watch the first couple seasons, at least.

- Severance is equal parts funny and equal parts depressing, but it's good. Anyone who's ever worked in a corporate office environment is probably gonna either laugh or groan too hard at some of the bits/scenes.

- Had no idea that Michael Showalter directed The Eyes of Tammy Faye. It was great, and as someone who never followed it on the news in the 90's, you could have told me it was the fictional plotline of an episode of Righteous Gemstones and I would have believed you. Chastain deserves an Oscar for that performance.

Finished Reacher. Enjoyable watch. I respect a show that knows what it is and keeps it simple. Sometimes you just want to watch a bad ass kill a bunch bad guys.

Yeah at about 30 minutes for all but the first episode each season it goes quick. I wish they did more than 9 per season.

Bandits. Billy Bob Thornton and Bruce Willis are bank robbers. Amazingly fun movie.

For the younger group, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels is Steve Martin at his absolute peak.

Matchstick Men is another movie I love.

Tucker and Dale vs Evil is the last one I'll mention.

Maybe I was just impressionable at the time, but Green Street Hooligans is in my top 5.
