I watched The Godfather II again a couple of nights ago. It was and is a excellent movie in every respect. Every movie made today is garbage compared to it.
I wish someone would come along and start making great movies again. Serpico, Dog Day Afternoon, Godfather II ... Pacino peaked then. Nothing since he's done has been nearly as good, IMO, not Scarface, not Scent of a Woman, not Any Given Sunday ... nothing. Godfather II is an all-time classic IMO.

Yeah,...Pacino played the role of Michael Corleone perfectly. In fact, the entire movie was casted perfectly. I have to think that it had a lot to do with Coppola's direction. He knew exactly who he wanted every character to be and he casted the right people to be them and got them to be that person. It's art.

I liked Wind River enough to watch it three times, then Netflix suggested that if I liked Wind River I'd like Hold the Dark.
Hold the Dark is one of the few movies I've ever watched that made me want to demand a refund for the time I wasted. Not only was there no discernible story (well, there is a story, it just is incredibly stupid), everything about the movie is darkly confusing.
I'd burn the original if I could find it.

I watched a Netflix movie a couple days ago just because Matthew McConaghey was the lead. It has “ Trees “ in the title and it will be worth your while to use the search function to find and then watch it.
But....it’s one of those where you need to pay attention to every scene. Details become important later on.

Don't know if they're on Netflix, but other good ones:
Stand Up Guys
The Foreigner
The Admiral (one Korean, one Dutch, both good)
War of the Arrows
White Tiger
Battle for Sevastopol

Wind River is probably the best.
Hollowpoint is OK.
Small Town Crime is worth the 90 minutes or so.
Thumper gets a little better toward the end.

If I had to narrow movies down to my very favorites.
No Country For Old Men.
Jaws.
Original True Grit.
Saving Private Ryan.
After those it trickles down to Clint Eastwood movies, Open Range and Lonesome Dove.

Other than GF II to being an all time classic.

Same can be said for Apocalypse Now.

I know it's about 90% garbage. But there's a few things on there that's worth watching.
I'd like to kick back and watch an interesting show right now. I'm particularly fond of documentaries. But I'm open to any suggestions. We are on a 1 month free trial of netflix and I would say it's almost worth the price. 99.9% garbage. 1. Get Amazon Prime 2..Get a Fire Stick 3. Load Kodi 17 6 4. Load Exodus 5. Watch just about anything.

No, really though, I did, months ago. I was fed up with exhaustive collection of domestic and internationally produced cinemographic shìt they’ve amassed. I took it personally that they’d expect me to watch it.
I’m strategizing on timing a 30 day free trial so I can watch the new season of Narcos. kingston, See my recommendation to northern_dave.

No, but I’ll check it out. Have you watched Homecoming?
It was pretty good. I thought it was good, too. Kind of spooky the way the storyline and characters developed. But, good.

"Medal Of Honor" is well worth your time on Netflix

Then STFU. The rest of your statement is superflous bullshit with no real bearing on this discussion other than to massage your own ego. Suckin' on my titties like you wanted me.
