Tonight it was The Long Good Friday. What a picture. A great soundtrack and fantastic performances from Hoskins and Mirren. The ending shot in particular was really great.

Do they have great taste in movies?

Not really. Neither of them are really movie buffs or anything, but we've watched some pretty good stuff so far.

My Mom is mostly into old westerns, horror movies and tragically bad modern action movies (straight to Amazon prime kind of stuff) and my Dad mostly just likes action movies (We were an Arnie and Bruce Willis household growing up)

We've only been doing this for a month, but so far we've watched -

High Noon
The Bridge at Remagen
The Magnificent Seven (the old one)
The Long Good Friday

I've enjoyed them all so far (Friday the most, Bridge the least)

Thank you, I agree.

I love spending time with my parents. They're great people.

You guys should watch Aguirre Wrath of God together

I like Affleck as an actor.

I watched Barry Lyndon. I didn’t really know much about it going in, but it wasn’t what I expected. For some reason I thought it was one of his older works also.

It’s hard to describe, but the way the film was presented was interesting. I think I kinda loved it.

you get a gold star, young man

I'll maybe watch this on the weekend. It's too long to watch during the week.

Tonight I'm going with After Hours.

Good pick

Kung Fu Panda 3

Pretty good animated movie to watch with my daughter.

I'm just firing up Aguirre, the Wrath of God. I'm going with the German dubbed version.

You're on a roll, tommy. If you enjoyed the feature/doc combo of Fitzcarraldo & Burden of Dreams, you could pair Aguirre with Herzog's doc about his collaboration with Kinski, My Best Fiend

God I imagine that must be unwatchable now

Kinski is basically a villain in it, too, though. Not really painted as a good guy, I don't think

I was just looking at My Best Fiend. It looks like it's free on YouTube currently. That and Herzog's Nosferatu have been added to the top of my list.

He seems like a very interesting guy. I'd like to read his autobiography, but it seems like it's hard to get ahold of.

He was a maniac and an evil force in the world

The Neon Demon

«An aspiring model, Jesse, is new to Los Angeles. However, her beauty and youth, which generate intense fascination and jealousy within the fashion industry, may prove themselves sinister.»

Interesting start to this.
