PS-- If you want a baseball movie, that perhaps will make ya feel as a kid again, I've become very fond of Safe at Home!, with great co-stars Roger Maris and Mickey Mantle.

Hey Brian1961

Regarding oldies-but-goodies, we both forgot to include The Maltese Falcon.

And, I'll add a relatively recent movie....The Cinderella Man
A terrible title for a great movie featuring the true life story of boxer James Braddock (portrayed by Russell Crowe).

Clint Eastwood the mule terrific

[brian1961]

Ted, you're right. I indeed forgot about Casablanca, a genuine favorite.

Octavio, yes bro, Clint and his sensitive mule. I love that scene in "A Fistful of Dollars".

Merry Christmas, guys. --- Brian Powell

Anyone see Birdbox yet on Netflix?

Ive gotten mixed reviews about it. People either love it or hate it. I hope to watch it this weekend.

[CobbSpikedMe]

I agree with Darren regarding The Game with Michael Douglas being a great film. It's one of those films that is awesome the first time you see it if you don't know what's coming in the end.

And someone else mentioned The Gods Must Be Crazy. An odd film but also very good regardless.

[Bigdaddy]

Watched it tonight, can't say that I'd recommend. Left me wanting more - maybe that is the Netflix plan.
