Wow! Thanks everyone. There are a lot of movies on those lists I haven't seen and generally the ones I've seen I've liked. I think that's more movie watching than I can do in just a single global pandemic.

Yesterday has been on my list for a while, but I'm hoping for an option to rent, rather than have to pay $20 or sign up for HBO.

Fences - Denzel *don't skip this one (In fact all the Denzel movies)

Watched this a couple nights ago - good movie, but a tough one.

We also watched a few episode of Modern Love. Episodes 2-4 were okay, but episode 1 was great.

>> Yesterday

I really liked this one. I was expecting to enjoy it, but thought the gag might wear thin, but I enjoyed it more than I thought. I would say why, but it would involve spoilers.

Also, recommended by my sister-in-law and a fun, "small" movie
- Daily Special

If nothing else, it has the best business card scene ever

Just watched "Hunt for the Wilderpeople" which is trending on Netflix. Its funny, but also has a bit more to it.

It's sort of New Zealand's answer to "Peanut Butter Falcon," which is also a great watch.

The plots: troubled kids set off on quests with troubled adults.

Both are really good, fun, feel good movies.

I'm a sucker for comedy these days. Got these on the list to rewatch for the 100th time.

Harlem Nights (Eddie Murphy)
4 Rooms (Tarantino)

For the Denzel fans; Equalizer I and II

If you liked Hunt for the Wilderpeople I recommend other movies by Taika Waititi:
What We Do in the Shadows
Jojo Rabbit

JoJo Rabbit has been on our watch list for a long time. It is one of the expensive ones (purchase only, $19.99) which we usually skip to be honest. At that price, I would much rather own the physical media, which at least can be loaned out or given away. It's actually cheaper on Blu-Ray. That makes no sense except that it shows the degree to which movies are impulse buys I guess.

Netflix still rents DVDs -- think the base program is $8 for one DVD at a time.   Its old fashion, but might be your least expensive legal option for harder to get movies like Jojo.

I just saw that. You can get JoJo Rabbit and a lot of other movies on Netflix via DVD.

The Netflix movie offering has become really poor of late. I don't think I fully understood why Netflix got into the business of being a studio, but now as I see every studio break off and want to all hit me up for $10-$20/month to watch their stuff, I find very few good movies on Netflix these days. When I was looking to see how one could get JoJo Rabbit, it made me wonder whether I'd be better off with the Netflix DVD service than streaming.
