We can only now truly appreciate the audacity of this film. The way it concentrated the whole movie on the motivations and strategies of the bad guys. And then Nicholson - cast against type as the good guy - delivering that powerful MAGA moment decades before it was cool. Like an Old Testament prophet come to judge the effeminate elite and take the fall for all our sins. The filmmakers even dared to seemingly empathize with the weak-willed soldiers dishonored in the courtroom. Tour de force really. Way ahead of its time.stlouie_lipp wrote:"A Few Good Men" is another one for me that I can't turn off.

Office Space used to constantly be on Comedy Central, and I'd watch it every damned time. Even in edited form.

The Fifth Element
Gattaca (if it was ever on)
Any Will Ferrell sports movie
These days it seems like I spend 99% of my time watching sports or catching up on shows that are recorded on my DVR. I don't think I've just surfed the channels to see what was actually on at the moment since I got YouTube TV and started recording a bunch of stuff that I like.

Got sucked in 2X when HBO had that mega-cut of the first two, edited into chronological order, up til 3AM both times. Didn't notice the time pass one bit.Freed Roger wrote:The Godfather (s)
