Yup Speedmaster!

Honestly, I teared up about 3 times.

I read the book a while back and when I saw that a movie was coming out, I was excited for it!

One of the best films I've seen last few years is Lion, with Dev Patel and Nicole Kidman

I watched “Shot Caller” last night on Netflix.

It was my second time watching it.


It’s incredible.

I know I’ll love this movie. It’s got all things I love. But I’m fearful.

“But I’m a bit of a cryer”. Can anyone reference that line? It’s actually “Billy Bob is a bit of a cryer”. That’s not exact. But an easy hint. And a very fun movie.

And I am a cryer.

Thanks brother. All is super. A few bumps in the road but going really well.

And me too!! Loving this thread.

My first W2 job was at Captain Video. I lobbied my folks and the owner for that job, for months. I worked there all throughout high school and worked all the holidays when I was in town from college.

Love movies. And loving this thread.

Nice!!!

That’s it.

I quote that all the time...being a cryer myself.

I loved that movie. All 17 times I’ve seen it.

Hard to believe - "On the waterfront " was only mentioned once ??

For years that was my favorite. Whenever " waterfront Or Cool hand would be on I'd watch 'em

Mr Smith goes to Washington is a great watch and still relevant today

Glad to see Last Samurai mentioned often another one to see over & over. Gets better each time

Seven Samurai & Rashomon. Sub titled and just fantastic

Love Cinema... just so many great ones. Did anyone mention. Shane ?
