I’ve seen this one but a long time ago. It’s on my agenda for tomorrow night. Looking forward to it.

Agree, @RightNow and @AnnieS, another great Jack Nicholson film. Yes, he is definitely one of my all-time favorites. Brilliant in Terms of Endearment, too.

I am attempting to post my latest film I watched and when go to post I get the message - Awaiting Approval. What is this shenanigan about?
He’s such a versatile actor and so talented. So fabulous in comedy roles. His face is also so expressive and he has that doglike ability to somehow move his hairline or ears in reaction to a change in a scene.
Apparently he is another actor with OCD in real life and in “As good as it gets” he tried to channel his own life struggles into the character portrayal. (I say another, because Leo Di Caprio has also been vocal about his own OCD.

Little Tornadoes 2022
Filmed in a small town in regional NSW and Victoria alongside the Murray River.
Life in country Australia in the '70s.
After the upheaval of WW11, Vietnam War, Women’s Lib and immigration, a father struggles to come to terms with life after his wife left him with two young children.
6/10 from me.
@AnnieS and @Rose2 , you see the same Jack that I have seen over the years!
Terms of Endearment is one of my all time classics, too! I have seen it over seven times, I’m sure! Being the owner of a hair salon for 18 years in my 30s and 40s, I could so relate to Dolly Parton, and her silly quotes. There were so many outstanding lines in that film.
But back to Jack and his facial expressions, well, he says it all without saying anything at all.

Yes @RightNow, that film has to be one of the best of all time, Shirley McClaine at her best. I dont know how many times I’ve watched it but each and every time it’s been impossible to hold back the tears. I think you are referring to Steel Magnolias, Dolly Parton as a hairdresser? 
Another tear-jerker, great acting on all parts.

You probably used the word “immi gration”. I have learned to avoid it.

Yes, Terms of Endearment with Shirley Maclaine was great. Steel Magnolias had so many great actresses, Dolly was one! Thanks for correcting me. Both are wonderful even after multiple times watching them.

Ive watched Two films today, both True stories and both set in the War…One called
The Great Escaper , Micheal Caine as the 90 year old that left a nursing home to do the 70th D Day in France .
The other was called Operation Mincemeat, with Colin Firth ,
Both on BBC Iplayer
“The Man Who Would Be King” from 1975. That’s the most recent from me…
I Swear. Based on a true story about a man with Tourette’s syndrome.
I just finished watching The Only Thrill, 1997 starring Diane Keaton, Sam Shepard, and Diane Lane.
It reminds us not to take relationships for granted, and speak up when we feel real emotions. Don’t let the moment pass.
Unhinged. Starring Russell Crowe.
This was a real edge of your seat movie!

“Knock at the Cabin”
One of those films that if you watch it for more than five minutes you have to see where it’s going.
Quite a surprising ending.
