What Was The Last Movie You Saw? Welcome Cinephiles.

I too saw Roma... [in Spanish with English subs]... oh, what a beautiful film (!!!), a masterpiece...

It was shot in black and white

Could easily win best "Foreign Language Film", is also in the running for best "Picture"; it's up for 10 nominations... we'll see...

I felt at times as if I was snooping in on on the daily life of a real family - who was surreptitiously under surveillance, especially Cleo. The whole film really touched me, and will be hard to forget. Absolutely, it was a remarkable work of art, and everyone (except for Fermín and the absent husband) was endearing.

As an aside, I am sure I saw a '57 Chevy in it - my dad had one, turquoise and white...

starring: Kathryn Hahn, Paul Giamatti, Gabrielle Reid

A couple coping with infertility struggle to keep their marriage going as they navigate through the world of adoption and assisted reproduction.

It was WAY too long and I knew even before starting it, I wasn't going to like it, but it was Mary's turn to pick so..............

Since we have no movie theaters less than an hour away. Have to depend on cable. The last one we watched was Dunkirk. Well acted with beautiful cinematography. Well worth watching, especially for those of us who enjoy WWII military history. It also did justice to the British civilian navy volunteers who, using their own vessels, saved many drowning sailors from ships on fire.

(one problem during the film, Partner and I argued about where Dunkirk was located...She argued, France...I maintained Belgium. We both ended up correct.)

Widows starring Viola Davis Michelle Rodriguez, Elizabeth Debicki Cynthia Erivo

Set in contemporary Chicago, four women with nothing in common except a debt left behind by their dead husbands' criminal activities, take fate into their own hands, and conspire to forge a future on their own terms. IF only this was the movie Hollywood made! A wonderful cast of women that the movie should of revolved around but didn't IMHO!

I guess "the powers that be" in Hollywood thought throwing a lame political twist in with big name actors such as Robert Duvall & Collin Farrell would be more bankable!

I did enjoy it tho ..........

Hey, wasn't there a actress one year who won both the Oscar and A Razzie? I guess I could google but that'd take the fun out of it! If I had to guess I'd have to say Sandra Bullock tho..
