    Call me Mr. Late to the Party ... but I just watched Remember the Titans today. Pretty damn good movie.

    I've never seen E.T. either.

    I'm later to the party. Watched 12 Angry Men for the first time last week. Loved it. Not just because it was an almost all-white cast, but it was so well done!

    I plan on watching this version too. Pretty stacked cast for a made for TV movie.

    It's no Paul Blart but a decent picture nonetheless

    Agree. They did a good job. I prefer Lumet's 1957 version with Henry Fonda.

    kind of a must if you've ever been to San Simeon and visited his castle
    just knowing how much it pissed him off made me happy

    I love that Welles named the sled ROSEBUD ... which he knew (well, Mankiewicz knew) was Hearst's nickname for Marion Davies' clitoris.

    Yeah ... that's epic trolling.

    Lee J. Cobb is one of the best actors I ever saw.
    Johnny Friendly in my favorite film of all time, too...

    sure most here have seen it but Ford vs. Ferrari was exceptional
    not a Damon fan but have to admit he's pretty great in this

    Watched the remake of 12 Angry men. Most of the actors were just as good as their 1957 counterparts, but George C Scott can't live up to Cobb.

    The cinematography looked like an episode of The Office whereas the original was more visually interesting. Made a huge difference imo

    woke up around 3 and found myself watching a horror/dark comedy flick called Weapons
    found it pretty fucking scary tbh and not sure if it was the early hour or legit horror
    tend to lean toward the legit horror and Amy Madigan is a wickedly good character
