"Benny and Joon"--one of my all time favorites

Recently watched "Rob Roy" again. Just as good as I remembered.

I watched "After Earth" last week, and didn't realized it was an M. Night Shyamalan production till later. I love, "Signs", and "The Village" is pretty good too.

this is the kind of movie you can enjoy over and over again. A John Candy comedy. I guarantee it!

Comedy/Spy:
Hopscotch with Walter Mattheau, Glenda Jackson, and Sam Waterston.

"Grounded with a desk job by incompetent superiors, a clever CIA agent retires and writes a tell all memoir that will embarrass his bosses, prompting him to go on the run and elude them."

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0080889/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1

Nerdy:
Hidden Figures with Taraji P. Henson, Janelle Monáe, Octavia Spencer

About the women who were called "computers" at NASA, mainly Katherine Johnson.

Musical:
High Society with Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby, Grace Kelly, Celeste Holm., and Louis Armstrong

Wonderful pairing of Sinatra and Crosby in "What a Swell Party This Is".

Netflix or Amazon not sure.

Timothy Blake Nelson stars in the film. Set in Oklahoma territory after civil war. The ending is quite surprising.

😄 Haven't thought about this movie in years.

Documentary about Californian surfers who bc their water temps are still too cold go around to tropical place to surf, introducing the sport to some as well.

Glorious good-timer about love, hate, death, money, and above all: the value of lifelong friendship.
