[kirk1978]

I have been looking for Lonesome Dove....cant find it on anything streaming.

"Romancing The Stone". I really like the part towards the end when Michal Douglas shows up wearing alligator boots. Danny DeVito is a comedic genius in this film too. That rotund little guy can bring you to tears from laughing.

I do have about 4000 DVDs to pick from.

No particular order. Some of my favorites

Monte Walsh (Tom Selleck version)
Also Tom Selleck low budget film Countdown to DDay, the Jesse Stone series, and I've just discovered and have been binge watching Blue Bloods.

Lonesome Dove
True Grit (like both, but prefer the new one)
The Account
John Wick 2
Any Jason Bourne
Darkest Hour
Tombstone
Band of Brothers

 

[sedona]

Ford Vs.Ferrari
Logan
Midway
Knives out

 

[Snattlerake]

The Final Countdown
The key to the whole movie is you absolutely must watch the very beginning and the very end.
Imagine the USS Nimitz in WW II.

The Gallant Hours 1960
James Cagney portrays Admiral Halsey

"The Jewel of the Nile" is a sequel, and pretty funny as well.

Not a real big movie guy in general, but still enjoy a good one when I can find the time. On the whole I think most are overrated.
I think my favorite of all time would probably be Jacob's Ladder from 1990(?). Kinda sad, scary, and touching all at once.
I also enjoy a good coming-of-age story. Whether a book or movie. A couple favorites there would be Stand by Me and My Life as a Dog, a Swedish movie with subtitles.
