I agree. A really good movie can hold your attention. Those are the special ones. The ones you never forget.

As kinda the total opposite, the few minute (not kidding, w/i the first 60 seconds!) of Stallone's Driven, I knew that I was watching a disaster. Never has a movie shown itself to be so lousy so fast.

Great movies over two hours:
Pulp fiction: The best long movie ever.
Bridge over the river Kwai
The matrix
Fight club
Forrest Gump
Jerry Maguire
True lies
Edit:
I forgot Schindler's list and saving Private Ryan

This documentary movie is of zero surprise about the exclusive culture and pervs who ran it at the top. Worth a watch...

AGain, I started this and it is way, way, way too long. SO many Netflix shows are drawn out. This needed an hr, tops.

It was excellent! Really good acting (except for some cheesy parts) and very suspenseful. I have a feeling this one is going to fly under the radar though.

100%.

Their docutainment series generally do not have enough content to cover 4-5 60 minute episodes.

Saw Blazing Saddles when it first came out, in 1974, in a theater in Westwood, Ca. Was on a date with my future wife, who I am still married to.

Such a great and funny movie. Mel Brooks is a comic genius.

Yes, I agree. I was 19. What a riot of a movie.

Cleavon Little and Gene Wilder were awesome.

Blazing Saddles and Spaceballs are my top two movies ever! History of the World is a close 3rd too.

Finished watching Hustle with Adam Sandler...I must say, it was a great movie and I thought his acting was better than expected since a lot of his movies are towards the funny / immature side.

Another Mel Brooks movie that I like.

[Esteban]

Here's a scene with Mel Brooks' wife, Ann Bancroft.

Always thought of her as a serious actor, but she's funny. And to top it off, she married Mel so you know she has to have a sense of humor, living with him. lol

Pretty sure I was about 10, 1988/89 when I saw it.
Probably didn't understand much.

I liked Spaceballs too. Here's a funny scene:

I like how the scene uses John Hurt, from the original Alien movie.

Mel Brooks was brilliant

Just heard on the "entertainment report" that Top Gun: Maverick has made a billion dollars.

Anyone got Cliff Notes cuz I'm intrigued but not enough to watch it.

The owner wanted nothing but attractive people working on the floor of the stores, the owner and photographer used the bookings to get male models to sleep with them and they discriminated against minorities in their stores and Corporate HQ.
