Last Movie/Series/Show You've Seen!

So I've seen this topic in some other forums and being a movie lover myself; I thought it would be fun to start this up here for all you movie lovers! Assuming anyone has found the time!

Just list what the last movie/series or show you watched was, how you would rate it, and maybe what you liked or disliked about it. Try to avoid spoilers! :)

I'll start us off with the last three movies I watched.

Wonder
9/10 I didn't pick this one and thought I wouldn't like it but it turns out that I really enjoyed it and would defiantly recommend it for those looking for a cute family feel good movie. A lot of funny moments as well as a lot of touching moments. Really has a good way of showing multiple perspective of what people may be going through in their home life. Also seems pretty accurate of school social life.

Coco
12/10 I love Disney movies, and unfortunately didn't see this one in the theater. Highly recommended! By far my own favorite newer Disney/Pixar movie (Fox and the Hound is my all time favorite). Starts off as a fun goofy movie but has a twist that sneaks up on you and of course being a Disney, is a tear jerker.

It's not a princess film, so no "I want" songs, but I think the ones that they do have fit in well. One of them is critically acclaimed and is really moving.

Also think that they did a fantastic job representing an important part of Mexican culture. In my opinion it's one of the best animated films for probably the last decade. (Can't convince my fiancee though, she still thinks that's Moana.)

Darkest Hour
8/10 I like historical dramas, if you don't you may not like it is much. I think this was Gary Goldmans best performance and would rate that 10/10. It did get slow in a few places but has it's funny moments and moving moments. Also a few things that are not historically accurate (which is to be expected). Another recommend if historical dramas are of interest to you at all. I wasn't as moved as I thought I would be by the "Fight on the Beaches Speech" but then again, how could you top the real one??

Well, there's mine. Hopefully there's at least a few others that found the time to watch a movie and would like to share what they thought of it!

If you have Netflix, you seriously need to watch OA.
Pay serious attention to the clues. There are braille words, color clues, and sound clues throughout.
It's the most beguiling mess that watches like an eight hour movie.
Season two will drop this year.

What's OA? I'm drawing a blank....
Person of Interest on Netflix is good.
I'll have to check that one out.

I don’t even remember the last movie I watched, I think it was the emoji move and even the kids thought it was pretty stupid.
Now if we are talking TV shows, I have insomnia and can give you all kinds lol I seem to like on going never ending lol I even read books that are series and get so mad when they end lol
 
#9 ·
Yea I could tell the Emoji movie wasn't going to be anything I would remotely like.

I don't have cable so yea, netflix and vudu are my go to's lol. I need to find another series to watch, we just got caught up with the crown and Dr. pol takes forever to come out with another episode lol.

Oh, I thought that that might be an abbreviation for something.

I haven't been able to get into any of the Marvel movies, I think the only one I've seen was captain america. I remember it being very long and getting ready to leave because I thought it was over and here it was only about half way done!

I tried cable for awhile but just didn't use it enough, plus the only show I really watch that's on cable is the incredible dr pol and i just buy the season pass for $20 which is still WAY less than the cable bill. Although now that roseanne is going to be on again, I might have to switch up my strategy......

Man, if you have only seen Captain America you may want to give Marvel another shot. Even if your not into Marvel movies I would highly recommend Guardians of the Galaxy. That movie is hilarious and has an interesting plot and great characters and the soundtrack makes that movie. For me personally I am a DC movie fan (for those who don't know that's Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman). The newer stuff like the Dark Knight trilogy and Man of Steel, but if you like that don't watch the new Justice League movie that came out last November, they absolutely ruined all the good stuff they had going.
 
#15 ·
Ok that was a lie I guess, I didn't know guardians of the galaxy was a marvel movie lol (shows how much I know), I have seen that one and agreed it is very funny. I have #2 on my vudu account but haven't watched it yet. Have you seen that one and is as good or?

Can't say these are the last movies I saw, but I watched them quite recently.

Long John Silver's Return to Treasure Island -
10/10 (at least!) - It has become tradition in our house to watch this delightful mini-series every winter. It's 10 hours of pure swashbuckling good times with an excellent cast, incredible locations, and a fun, well-paced storyline. Brian Blessed is the quintessential Long John Silver--ruthless, villainous, treacherous, and yet you can't help but love him. Christopher Guard is the honest Jim Hawkins, and Ken Colley plays the hilarious Ben Gunn. There is a host of other wonderful characters and villains in the story as well. The biggest drawback is that it is not readily available in the U.S. We have a region-free DVD player so we can watch the UK release.

Into the West
10/10 - This is my all-time favorite horse movie. It's a modern-day faerie story set in Ireland and is about a couple of Traveller boys, their alcoholic father, and a mythical horse from Tir-na-nog. It's a tear-jerker of a redemption story with a lot of funny bits but a lot of "weight" to it. Too many horse movies are overly geared toward kids or have annoying troubled teens in them. This one has neither of those problems. I can watch film one over and over. Here is the trailer:

Hmmm. Last one in a movie theater? I think it was the Voyage of the Dawn Treader. At home it was The Return of the Jedi.

We don't have a tv and rarely go to the movies. We have a couple of subscriptions to Youtube channels and we occasionally watch a dvd on our ooooooooold Macintosh.

The last movie I went to watch in the cinema was Dunkirk. The one before that was The Passion of the Christ. The one before that was March of the Penguins. Does that tell you something about how often I go to the cinema????

The last one I watched at home was on Vudu, last night. What to Expect when You're Expecting.

I love movies, I watch DVDs and also streaming all the time. ALL THE TIME. Not Netflix for several months though. I miss it, but other things are free.

What'd you think of Dunkirk? I saw it last summer and thought it was fantastic. I watch all of the movies by that director, Christopher Nolan, he is the absolute best director of our time right now. If you have never seen Prestige... you haven't seen a movie. Absolute art. Mind-blowing.

I thought Dunkirk was just an amazingly well told story of a non-stop disaster. I staggered out of the cinema feeling punch drunk. The outside world felt surreal to me.

I came home, got on google, to find out more about the story of Dunkirk. Only to find out they hadn't told the other half of the story. That the people covering the escape/retreat mostly died. We only heard of the English, and nothing at all of the French who so stoically watched the English escape because of their bravery.

It was intense, is what I'm trying to say. Once I found myself getting dizzy because I had forgotten to breathe.

Really well done.

Tonight I rewatched one of my favourite movies, Johnny English with Rowan Atkinson, John Malkovitch, and Ben Miller. I'm always in tears when he lands on the wrong building and takes a hospital hostage. I found it on youtube.
 
#27 ·
Haha! Coincidentally, we watched Johnny English last week and Johnny English Reborn earlier this week. Funny movies! Reborn has one of the very few actually humorous uses of a swear in the scene with the souped-up electric wheelchair when he moves the switch from "Fast" to "V.Fast" to "F.Fast". Despite my username's reference to one of the earliest (if not THE earliest) uses of profanity in film, I'm not typically a fan of foul language in movies. But that one made me laugh out loud.

Have you seen Mr. Bean's Holiday? It might be my favorite Rowan Atkinson movie. Very little dialogue of course (it being Mr. Bean), but so much hilarity. I obviously love silent films (as evidenced by my name and avatar), and I feel like Mr. Bean is a tribute to those wonderful old movies that relied upon pure physical acting rather than dialogue to tell stories.
 
#28 · (Edited)
@Damfino While swearing does not TYPICALLY bother me in film, I can agree that a lot of the time it seems rather pointless. That one particular instance, however, with the wheelchair? I can't really imagine it any other way.

Although I am immensely fond of Rowan Atkinson, I confess I have only watched 1 Mr Bean movie, the first one. I found it not entirely to my taste. I think that the Johnny English movies have the perfect blend to me of physical and verbal comedy. I wish they would make more of those.

Have you seen Rowan Atkinson Live? If you like clever physical comedy, I think you would really like that one. I'll see if I can find it.

Try Mr. Bean's Holiday. It really was hilarious and also a sweet film. Also, another Johnny English movie is coming out later this year I believe.

I'm not a fan of swearing because it's nearly always unoriginal and quite often unrealistic. I can't say I *enjoyed* "The Theory of Everything" (the movie about Stephen Hawking) despite Eddie Redmayne's phenomenal acting job. A funny story about that movie is that the original script contained quite a lot of profanity, but Jane Hawking refused to approve the script. She put her foot down because, she said, no one talked like that back then, and people in the scientific community still don't talk like that. I thought "Good for her!" Swearing would have been jarringly out of place in that time and culture. A good movie with good actors is capable of conveying deep emotion without falling back on a short list of lackluster obscenities which have largely lost their meaning through gross overuse.

Oh boy, cursing is my main language lol I grew up with old ranchers and loggers and instead of hanging out with the girls after school I was with the boys, being 5’2 my mouth had to make up for my size :p
Ok shows, i kinda like everything, especially supernatural ones. So some of my favorite that I’m on pins and needles waiting for more to come out
Supernatural (I totally have a crush on dean!)
The originals
Dexter is a great one! But no more of it
Walking dead
The black list is also a good one, not supernatural at all. It’s about a guy on the FBIs most wanted list that joins the FBI to catch bad guys.
My brother liked the peaky blinders but I just couldn’t get into it.....if you don’t like cursing stay AWAY from that one!
I liked the 100 but took awhile to get Into it.....and now I keep checking to see if more came out lol
But shows are my go to as I said before, sometimes it takes me days just to get threw a hour so I try and stay away from actual movies
 
#30 ·
Oh, I thought this was only movies. I did not know I could ride the TV show animal!!!

BTW, I loved the TV show Dexter. But I don't really recall anything supernatural about it. Maybe there were 2 different shows with the same title? But I sure loved it anyway. When I was binge watching it, I was completely socked in. My husband told me later that I completely disappeared if an episode was on. He would say something to me, I would look at him vacantly, and tell him to be quiet.

Gee. Maybe our issues are partly my fault.... NAH.

It's a black and white silent film that came out in 2011. Most of the actors are french but the few names I remember that aren't are James Cromwell and John Goodman. It's kind of a romantic comedy about a black and white silent actor in hollywood, seeing the decline of silent films and the rise of sound films. A very different experience, was the first b & w and silent film I've seen but I really liked it and is one on my recommended list.

I started watching 6 Feet Under, SPECIFICALLY because of Michael C. Hall from Dexter.

OOH Darn you. Don't even get me started on House, MD. I became a Hugh Laurie fan because of Blackadder (Rowan Atkinson again) stayed with it through A Bit Of Fry and Laurie, and of course Jeeves and Wooster, and on into House.

I love good television and I love good movies. I used to love good literature before my eyes went. I used to read Anne McCafrey. She did amazing work creating a world. Now @goathiker has me wanting to find her books on youtube!

THIS.... is a dangerous thread for me, I can tell....

Updated the title to match where this thread took off too! :p I love all the discussion and hearing other peoples favorites.


I had actually forgotten about it until I seen Damfino's post. I'll have to see if the fiancee has seen it and would want to watch it. It's been awhile since I've watched it myself.
