Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for June 07, 2020

If by ‘recent’, you mean ‘movies less than 25 years old’, I guess that barely counts, Arlo.

I’ll get my cape, mask, and sword. You can be my Princess Bride.

What happened to Hans Solo?

May I recommend “Knives Out”, Janis.

(1998, in case you were wondering)

You mean there are recent movies anyone would want to watch?

Just watched “The Terminal” with Tom Hanks , fun

If one eliminates zombies, vampires, ridiculous cartoon heroes and car chases, there’s little left to choose.

“When television is good, nothing — not the theater, not the magazines or newspapers — nothing is better. But when television is bad, nothing is worse. I invite each of you to sit down in front of your television set when your station goes on the air and stay there for a day without a book, without a magazine, without a newspaper, without a profit and loss sheet or a rating book to distract you. Keep your eyes glued to that set until the station signs off. I can assure you that what you will observe is a vast wasteland.” — Newton Minow, 1961

How about pre 40’s noir?

If all else fails, “Princess Bride.”

We have all of the MCU movies, minions, Harry Potter, Toy Story, Wonder Woman, etc. No horror stories.

“The Best Years Of Our Lives”.

“The Day the Earth Stood Still” (1951 not the 2008 crap)

“Forbidden Planet”

or anything “Mystery Science Theater” is showing.

I’m there with him.

Yeah. But the problem is all the good ones are from when you were in your twenties.

Hidden Figures, The Martian, Morning Glory, RBG, Jumanji:Welcome to the Jungle, …

I am going to have to start drawing the curtains in my home. This is way too close to the mark… Mr Johnson has been eavesdropping. Great strip!

James Bond films fit those criteria. Just because Hollywood hasn’t made anything of that caliber in years doesn’t mean the old films are bad.

with all the limits Janis has given she should of requested the movie at breakfast.

How about we just sit and watch the blank screen? Then we can make it up as we go!!!

Good “Oh-hum” choice.

Mrs. Baker complains that our Blu-Ray and DVD collection is mostly war movies and sci-fi. She’s right.

Are they still making movies?

LOL

My favorite line in that movie is when the cast of “Romeo and Juliet” is at a tavern, and a wench asks the actor who plays the nurse “What’s it about?” “Well,” he says, “There’s this nurse…”

i keep gravitating to Turner Classic Movies (TCM).

One of my favorite movie is one that I am guessing none of you has seen. “They All Laughed” It stars Dorothy Stratten, John Ritter, Ben Gazzara and Audrey Hepburn. I love it because I love movies in which NYC itself is a character and it has a good story and characters. Not sure if it was ever released to theaters due to Stratten’s death and it no longer even appears on TV – there is a poster on the wall for it in an episode of “WKRP”.

My all time favorite movie and favorite Christmas movie is “Lion in Winter”, original version with Katherine Hepburn and Peter O’Toole. We had it on Beta 2 tapes were needed for it), VHS and now DVD. We watch while we put our Christmas tree every year. Since that process has gotten longer we also have the version of it for Hallmark staring Patrick Stewart and Glen Close.
