    Lonesome Dove is the only movie based on a book that followed the book exactly. My husband says that only I can find it and O Brother, Where Are Thou at any time they are on tv. And I watch them every time.

    I neglected to mention some older stuff I like a lot:

    Laura:great film noir. Highly recommend

    Anything Hitchcock: The 39 Steps, and if you haven't actually watched Psycho you're missing out. I love Rear Window: Grace Kelly puts just about any modern movie actress to shame. So many modern directors owe much to the guy.

    Gone With The Wind: you know a movie based on a book is well done when the actors cast BECOME the characters in your mind: try reading a chapter of GWTW and NOT seeing Gable and Leigh playing Rhett and Scarlett.

    The Best Years of Our Lives: a post WW2 movie about veterans struggling to adjust to civilian life back in the states. Pretty groundbreaking stuff for the 40s and while it's a little dated like any movie from that era, the themes hold up and acting is great. They cast a real vet who had lost his hands in an accident to portray a young guy having to learn to live with hooks for hands.

    The Sting: I mean, Newman and Redford

    Giant: truly epic and though I only knew her as the weird old lady who wore a bunch of jewelry, Liz Taylor was something back then. One of James Dean's few appearances. Also interesting to watch Rock Hudson knowing what we do now.

    Oh, and speaking of older movies: if you're like me and basically only knew Marlon Brando as the overweight, mumbly old guy in Apocalypse Now and The Godfather, watch A Streetcar Named Desire or On The Waterfront. Both good flicks and makes it more understandable why he was a big deal.

    Tarantino directed Pulp Fiction. Great movie. I Love Samuel Jackson's character, Jules. As for Django, not too much. Pretty entertaining movie until the end. I'm sorry. Eye gouging and biting and breaking limbs in that scene with Dacrappio and the two slaves fighting each other to the death" ruined it. Or maybe I'm just old.

    Same for some war movies. I can watch Full metal Jacket any day. I can't watch Platoon. I guess it's the realism or level of brutality in some movies.

    My favorite movie? Rocky.

    The best movie I ever saw? Shawshank Redemption.

    25 years later I remember when, where, and with whom, I saw it. No matter when I see it on tv, I just watch it from whatever part I come in on. Flawless.

    To this day the highest rated movie on IMDb.

    Lonesome Dove is a mini series, but it's a great one. Brando was great as Vito Corleone in GFI.

    If y’all like history like I do, watch Chernobyl on HBO. It’s fantastic television.
