There's an interesting one- featuring Nastassja Kinski. I haven't seen her name come up for a long, long time.

Winner of 11 Oscars......."Ben Hur" (1959) directed by William Wyler. I remember watching it with my parents in the 60's at the local Drive-In as a young lad.

The chariot race scene especially was off the graph!

Also stars Jack "The Bridge of the River Kwai" Hawkins.

I just watched that too. If the terp really did all that...well... IDK how you repay such heroism.

The first 10 minutes of The Equalizer 3. Watching this won't spoil anything.

Monuments Men. This is a case in which the story itself is more compelling than the movie.

Those guys helped recover over 5 million pieces of art stolen by the Nazis.

[Steve Carlton]

The Covenant with Jake Gyllenhaal and Dar Salim is outstanding. I think it's the best thing I've seen Jake do. Don't spoil it with previews. Military story from when we were in Afghanistan.

[red 928]

Despite the stupidity of the writer who
didn't believe in personal rights or freedom,
this movie was very well made and entertaining.
Plus it's classic Tracy-Hepburn.

Surprisingly better than I expected.
