OT: Top Ten (or Five) Movie List?

What about Bob?

Honestly, answering a question like this is tough. How I answer is dependent on the mood I'm in when I type it. Lot's of good ones already thrown out that I can agree with.

To some extent, I more enjoy the character development and depth that goes into the longer run-times of shows like The Queens Gambit, which I'm considering my favorite of the medium to date.

But I also respect the craft of fitting all of that into 90-ish minutes.

Thoughts?

Oh, and one of my favorite movies/documentaries of the last decade was Samsara - just to add one to the list.

Interesting question. I have a friend who just raves about “Fargo” on FX. He’s also a Coen Brothers fan. I personally don’t have the time commitment for a series like that, and plus, I like the romance and nostalgia of an older movie theatre.

Although I can’t remember the last time I was in one...

Maybe it's about the story-telling arc of the entire series - and that's where something like Bosch is so successful even though it's technically a TV series.. you feel like you're watching an extended movie, not a bunch of standalone episodes with commercial breaks.

Here I found many movies from my favorite list, which is quite large because I always watch series and movies in my free time so I can't even choose from them to write which ones are my favorite. Some time ago I had big problems with finding sites that would not annoy me with ads or other things then I can watch a movie but I found the best movie streaming services like 123movies and I love it because I offer comfort and ease and it is a maximum pleasure to watch anything I want in good quality.

Just watched on Netflix The African Doctor (original title: Bienvenue à Marly-Gomont)
Highly recommended. What a great story

I just hope that when you list "the day the earth stood still". you were referring to the classic movie from the early 50's starring Michael Rennie and Patricia Neal.
