Cool Hand Luke is easily my #1 movie!

Watched "Legend" on Netflix.

Semi-true story of the gangster (Brit mafia-types) Kray brothers in 1960s London.  Think "Mad Men" with a lot of the ol' "ultra-violence" added.

Pretty well done, I thought.

Not a movie, but “The Last Dance” documentary about Michael Jordan and the 90’s Bulls was great.

Another “not a movie” and a bit dated but I just started Cobra Kai on Netflix and it’s excellent. Custom designed for men of a certain age. There’s even a hilarious Iron Eagle reference early in season one. Definitely worth a watch if you haven’t discovered it yet.

Not "latest movie" but definitely a greatest: Just made my flight watch 12 O'clock High as a part of mandatory fun before graduation at OTS and they really enjoyed it.  Had to keep the tradition going.

 

Don't sit under the apple tree with anyone else but me, til I come marching home!

Mandatory fun?  We watched it as part of a class when I went through OTS.

I am happy to see it still has a place in the curriculum, though.

they didn't show it to us officially which is sad - in fact - we got guidance from multiple instructors that we weren't aloud to watch any movies at all when we asked to show it. I just put it up on my computer in the flight room when they were gone. 🤙 We had so much freaking down time here.

Why is an Iron Eagle reference related to the KK universe?

‘80s. And because Johnny knows that Lou Gossett JR is the only place you ever need to turn for inspiration.

So I put this here vs starting another thread that likely wouldn't be that long.

 

Sean Connery died today, aged 90.

 

The best James Bond ever.

So suck it, Trebek!

I didn't see any feedback on "We Go in at Dawn".

Did anybody see that? Thoughts? Comments? Is it worth watching? Sorry if posted and I missed it.

Not that I go by ratings, but IMDB only gives it 3/10 stars out of 138 reviews...

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7622584/

Amazon reviews are 3.5 out of 5, with 130 reviews.

From the trailer it looks interesting, I have put it on my watch list!

Speaking of good sci-fi...

Reading the book for the first time now & finding it very well written and deep. Looking forward to Denis Villeneuve’s (Sicario, Blade Runner 2049) film adaptation.

Dude. That looks good. Out of curiosity what other sci-fi do you like? Books or film.

As 17D mentioned, the Expanse series is great “hard” sci-fi. Books are excellent, and while the series takes some liberties, I think they did a good job overall. Definitely better since Netflix took over. Also been enjoying Mandalorian with the kiddos.
