I loved that one when it came out in 1979, damn I need to see that one on Netflix again.

It's a movie I watched as a kid I bought it of Amazon so can watch it online whenever I want to rewatch it.

Solid choices. I still go back and watch Happy Gilmore & Shawshank.

Tim Robbins was also in another good movie with Martin Lawrence called Nothing To Lose.

Did you like Happy Gilmore 2?

1. The shawshank redemption
2. The LOTR trilogy (shut it, it counts as one)
3. Django unchained

Shawshank and Django are legends in the film industry.

Leonardo DiCaprio was uncomfortable saying the N word and Samuel L Jackson & Jamie Foxx told him it's fine and it's "just another Tuesday". Great film.

I'm more of a tv series person... Idk, Equilibrium? Doomsday (UK 2008)? Don't ask me why I always watch something about armed forces overthrowing the government *cough*.

Now that I think about it Catwoman with Halle Berry was nice. Damn, these cosmetics companies have terrible PR.

I do find TV shows exceptionally appealing. Prison Break, Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones, The Wire, Oz. All great shows.

That's a tought one. I'm inclined to say 'The Disaster Artists' for being the only film to make me laugh everytime i've seen it. Also 'Barbarian' for being both terrifying and hilarious almost simultaneously.

The Mummy and The Fifth Element also top action comedies.

Also the plot twists in some of the old M Night Shyamalan films were great. Especially 'The Others' and 'The Village'.

I also like some of the animated film: Mosnters Ince, Chicken Run films and The Wallace and Gromit films.

But top three though all in all though are probably:
1) The Highwaymen
2) Public Enemies
3) The Infiltrator

Yeah sam here all in all. If you like that theme i'd recommend 'Years and Years' it's exactly that - attempts to challenge government oppression and overcome a dystopian future set in Great Britain

The Mummy and The Fifth Element are staples in my collection. Seeing Chris Tucker's character in the Fifth Element in comparison to his character in Friday is especially hilarious considering they were only 2 years apart.

Happy Gilmore - happy place

Hot Shots - chicken can replace an arrow in a pinch

Shawshank - patience and playing the long game pays off

The happy place thing does help. I love how he imagines Shooter infiltrating it later and making out with his grandma. Lmao

Cannot limit it to 3:

But being an Adam and Dustin fan boy my take

Top 3 Adam Sandler movies
1. Uncut Gems
2. You Don't Mess with the Zohan (feel good movie and i can rewatch for the nostalgia, it brings back watching this in the college dorm in France with a bunch of people smoking weed and cooked some food after)
3. Happy Gilmore 1 and 2 (I like happy movies where the protagonist wins )

Top 3 Dustin Hoffman Movies
1. Tootsie (1982) - Master class
2. Kramer vs. Kramer (1979) - Its something else, hits you hard differently on every 5 years rewatch . Saw it first when i was 17 yo
3. Wag the Dog (1997) - Nice political Satire with multiple undertones

Dustin and Adam combo: The Meyerowitz Stories

---
Top 3

1. Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (This movie hits me differently because i went into the rabbit hole of documentaries about the Family, Manson Murder etc prior to watching it)
2. The Irishman
3. Bullet Train

---

Series I am watching now are Slow horses, The morning Show, Shrinking, Severance and waiting for Rick and Morty

Recommend these for any one that love bit of comedy, drama and some action

If you havent watched Tootsie this is a spoiler

I love all of Adam Sandler's films, if I am being honest. Big Daddy, Happy Gilmore, Billy Madison, Airheads, Anger Management, Eight Crazy Nights, 50 First Dates, Mr. Deeds, Chuck & Larry.

The only thing I didn't like about Once Upon a Time in Hollywood was how they portrayed Bruce Lee.

Spiderman said:

It's crazy that Joe Pesci played his character in Home Alone and his character in Goodfellas in the same year.

Demolition Man was how I felt about the state of social media from 2020-2024. A friend of mine was temporarily banned on one of the social platforms for saying someone was "lame". Reminded me of when Wesley Snipes character was at the computer getting fined for swearing.

Mortal Kombat 1995 was the best MK. I don't think it can be topped. Christopher Lambert was the most believable Raiden.

Oh I just remembered another while flicking though the streams the other day - 'The 13th Warrior' absolutely solid film probably favourite of all time I forgot all about

I saw this interview, too, I think. It's suggested every so often on YT shorts.

It's pretty simple do the Cuban Pete song to distract you then get your ferret delivery done .

You look so happy here.
