Has anyone seen any good movies lately?

2nd date next week...movies....I haven't been to the movies, save one exception in years. I did see Star Wars.

I am not too picky, but I guess I don't want us to go see "How to be Single" on a date. Best save that for girls night.

1. My Wife And I Liked "Joy"

A little slow for the first 40 minutes, but is pretty fun and, perhaps, inspiring at the end.

2. thanks. maybe we'll check it out.... nt

7. I liked it too

Uplifting movie.

[dimple]

13. I thought that was one of the better movies of 2015

But it is starting to seem like David O. Russell movies are about his infatuation with JLaw. Not that I don't sympathize.

3. I liked The Lady in the Van.

4. The last movie I went to was.......

The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. That was about 4 years ago. I just hate paying near $10 to see a movie. I do wait till Fridays when Fios On Demand has movies for $3.99, I put them in "my library" and watch them at my leisure. It also helps my 85 year old mom to see some current films. I also copy them to a DVD for future play. (shh, don't tell anyone).

I will however breakdown when, Independence Day comes out. My one nephew and I have an ongoing joke, every time we see that Independence Day is on TV we text and tell the other. I can watch that film or The Day After Tomorrow any time. I'm just a fan of the 1990's disaster films.

5. Both The Big Short and Spotlight were excellent.

My husband and I are going to see Michael Moore's new movie tomorrow: Where to Invade Next.

6. Haven't seen it yet, but Hail, Caesar! has good reviews

Coen Brothers production which is usually a good bet. A light comedy about post war Hollywood.

[dimple]

9. I was going to suggest Hail Caesar too.

Can't go wrong with the Coen Bros.

[sarge43]

11. I'm looking forward to seeing it.

Sounds like fun.

8. Creed is pretty good...

In fact better than that. I love the actor that has the lead role, Adonis Creed. And Stallone, an actor I cannot stand, is actually great in this movie.

[Initech]

17. Yeah I'm about 1/2 way through it on demand.

It's great so far - they made Adonis a very real character and Rocky seem much more human than in the first couple of movies.

10. My wife and I loved Deadpool

but not sure if that's a good choice for 2nd date material.

We've been married for almost 30 years so it was our Eleventymillionth date.

I'd second the Hail Caesar! suggestion. Can't go wrong with the Coens.


On a side note, our first (real*) date was skipping class to go see Red Dawn. I still have the ticket stub. Luckily, it was a terrible movie.


*we met at school and had many mutual friends and went on a lot of group things where we were both present but this was our fist time sneaking off together by ourselves. So poopoo to pundits who proclaim that movies are lousy first dates.

[Initech]

12. Deadpool kicked ass. Loved it.

I want to see Hail Caesar but I have heard very mixed reviews on it. On one hand it is the Coen Bros, but on the other hand it is *PERIOD* Coen Bros, and they haven't been that good lately. I'll wait until it's on demand.

[OriginalGeek]

15. Yeah we pretty much limit theater movies

to big action things. Hail Caesar can wait til Netflix or blu-ray or something. I got a decent-sized tv lol.

I've never been mad I watched a Coen bros movie. Some were greater than others but I am always entertained by them.

Can't say the same for many other directors.

[Xyzse]

16. I had fun with it too.

[lunatica]

14. I saw Spotlight last Saturday

I liked it, but I remember following the story so I wanted to see how it actually developed. It was very good and deserves the Oscar nomination. But being a story about priest pedophiles it might not be a good date movie unless both of you are on the same page.

[rurallib]

18. We both really enjoyed "Brooklyn"

kind of an old fashioned movie.
"Big Short" and "Spotlight" both excellent. Would see "Spotlight" again in a second.

[bigwillq]

25. I liked Brooklyn. Cute movie (nt)

[Hangingon]

19. we saw Trumbol last night. A great movie.

[kairos12]

22. My favorite of the last year.

[Generic Brad]

20. Countdown to Liquor Day

You might want to stream 9 seasons of "Trailer Park Boys" first to appreciate the humor. Two of the actors sport the ugliest haircuts in the history of the cinema.

[bluedigger]

21. How about "Tumbledown"?

It was released a couple weeks ago. Looks like a good date movie. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2338424/

[lame54]

23. Where To Invade Next...

Great - but at 2 hours - it was too short

[bigwillq]

24. Spotlight, The Big Short, Beasts of No Nation, Creed, Straight Outta Compton

All very good.

The Martian was pretty good, too

[Turbineguy]

26. Bridge of Spies.

Trump supporters should not see it. Their heads would explode.
