At the other end of the spectrum, The Shack was pretty true to the book...
Let's see, lately the movies I've seen that were hand picked for me, were:
Cars 3
Trolls
Sing

To be honest I didn't really understand what the director was trying to do in Trolls until the 32nd viewing. Then it hit me when I realized the conflict between the warring tribes was a metaphor for solving the Palestinian problem. It's quite beautiful and highly intelligent.
Get Out was good. Did enjoy Three Billboards in Ebbing MO.
Molly's Game is good. I need to get myself a high stakes poker game going.
Good ones I've watched recently:
Get Out
Arrival
Hacksaw Ridge
Hell or High Water
Hidden Figures
Manchester by the Sea
Jack Reacher (I and II)
John Wick (I and II)
Kingsman (I)
Not so good ones I've watched (some not all the way to the end):
La La Land
Jackie
Fences
Kingsman (II)
I'm starting this because I've kind of been wanting to start one for a while and also because I just watched one of the worst westerns I've seen in a long long time and am hopeful that this thread will stop others from wasting money on certain movies like The Last Jedi or wasting time on a western like In a Valley of Violence.
So feel free to suggest movies worth seeing and those worth avoiding, be they old or new and famous or not well known.
As to In a Valley of Violence....it's bad, just really bad. I was kind of taking it in a ho hum way grinding through it until one of the last scenes with John Travolta standing in between two gun fighters. AVOID THIS MOVIE unless you like long winded badly written badly acted laughable stupidity.
Cars 3 was awesome. If you want to sell a kidney and take your kid to Disneyland California Adventures, Cars Land is amazing. It makes you feel like you’re in Radiator Springs.Let's see, lately the movies I've seen that were hand picked for me, were:

It was mediocre and we didn’t finish... the chick was hot though.
If you replace “we” with “she”, that describes a high percentage of my encounters perfectlyHate it when that happens.

What? You don’t think Tom Cruise passes for 6’6” 250?!?I don't see how anyone could enjoy seeing Tom Cruise play Jack Reacher unless you have never read the books by Lee Child.
Agree. Molly's Game is good.
