You fucking kick ass and can’t wait to sip the sweet salty tears of the liberals when trumps back for a second term. #twoterms #twoscoops!!!!!

Network?
Perfect. Wish it was easy to access these classics. These recommendations are as good as the craft beers I’m sipping on 🍻
Knew Most of them. Gonna check out demolition man. Sorry for confusion
I watched Arsenic and Old Lace which was a screwball comedy from the 1940s, it's pretty funny. Cary Grant finds out his sweet old aunties are casually poisoning people, insanity runs in his family so he also has a brother who thinks he's Teddy Roosevelt and another serial killer brother who comes in with his plastic surgeon henchman who made him look like the actor who played Frankenstein. Shenanigans ensue.
I saw the movie A Simple Favor starring Anna Kendrick and Blake Lively, sort of a lighter version of a Gone Girl type plot, Kendrick plays a mommy vlogger who becomes best friends with an elegant but messed up model in Lively, who disappears. They have good chemistry together and both look great. The director made Bridesmaids The Heat Spy and female Ghostbusters so even though the movie didn't have to be a comedy a lot of it comes through.
Thanks for the vintage recommendations. Always up for checking out older stuff (I’ll have to figure out how to access it) big into westerns and war movies so currently sifting through those. Think tombstone might be next

Walk me through sink the Bismarck. Big in war movies
This is my favorite Naval movie EVER. Can't recommend it enough.
So, it follows the British naval command as they have to come up with a strategy to locate and destroy the biggest strongest battleship the Germans just released from the shipyard. It follows a guy, Sheppard, in London as he is in the command room coming up with the plans, and then it shows the Germans plotting and destroying several British ships in its path. It also shows the British fleet kicking ass, and their aircraft and torpedoes.
Extremely well made movie, very tense. Fascinating history and very accurate.
Perfect. Just need to figure out where i can watch it
Sure thing! I watch a lot of movies and shows online on Putlocker. It has a ton of pop ups, but I ignore them for the sake of free movies and TV shows. They have a lot of old movies too.
Also, libraries have a bunch of shows and movies to rent.
Didn’t know putlocker was still around. I’ll for sure be checking it out. Thanks Pede
Hi again! I actually just found that Sink The Bismarck is free on YouTube! Here it is!

Thank you SO much. I’ll for sure watch this
Your welcome! It keeps changing its domain, I think the big tech doesn't like competition. :) But it's still hanging in there! I hope you can find the movie, it's worth it!
Goes without saying that you have to watch Diehard at Christmas. For a couple of good Alfred Hitchcock movies, try “North by Northwest” and “Strangers on a Train”. I’m guessing you have seen Shawshank Redemption. For something romantic, try “Man From Snowy River.” For a Deepstate type thriller: “Three Days of the Condor”. For inspiration: Mully and Faith Like Potatoes. For a laugh: What’s Up Doc (sorry it stars a young Barbara Streisand) and the animation: Over the Hedge. And, while not a fan of him, Tom Cruise deserves props for American Made (did his own flying) and his Knight and Day was a fun tongue-in-cheek action flick. I also confess that I enjoy watching with my spouse the many old B/W or BBC movies of Dickens, Brontë and Austen novels. Here’s to a quick recovery, pede!
These are killer recommendations. Any idea how or where to access most of the older ones?
Try requesting them through your local library. They can do an inter library loan from other counties. It might take a few days. If so, maybe a friend or family member could pick them up and drop off at your front door. Our library has a ton of the BBC movies. My kids enjoyed the old tv series— Monk, MacGyver, and Fraser DVDs. If you enjoy war movies, we also loved a really old 1941 movie called Sergeant York (based on a real man, Alvin York) and the Horatio Hornblower series with Ioan Gruffudd was great.
I live in an extremely rural area where this is not an option. Thanks though. Internet is the main way of getting by.
Hmmm...do you have Video on Demand or Amazon Prime? I just checked and you can watch Sergeant York on YouTube for free. If I think of anything else, I’ll let you know!
