Just seeing this so I am adding mine. In no particular order..

1) The Quiet Man 2) The Big Lebowski 3) Planes, Trains and Automobiles 4) The Shawshank Redemption 5) Saving Private Ryan

Good movies, all of them, I never would have guessed Planes, Trains, and Automobiles would be listed.

Rewatching this series. Dayum! Forgot how intense the combat scenes were. Similar to Saving Private Ryan with the realism, jerky camera work, etc. Just a great movie. Great book too.

Far fetched. Over the top. Odd at times. But I really really really enjoyed it. And no those were not tears at the end. Obviously I had something in my eye.

We were just talking about that one.

I saw the trailer and while I'm not a big movie buff it looks really good.

I've been waiting for it to come out for months. While Shia LaBeouf has been kind of an asshat I have always liked him in movies. 

The lady sitting next to me was sobbing at the end. I was sobbing when i found out how much it cost for 3 people to see a movie and get some popcorn but it was worth it.

I have liked most of his movies. Hopefully he is not as frenetic as he has been in previous movies. I will say the trailers are intriguing. Probably be out of theaters before I make a decision or have the time to see it.

Ticket prices (we only do the matinees by the way) aren't as high but concession prices are nearly as bad as sporting events 😒.

We've got a theater near us that did a total makeover a couple years ago. Part of a regional theater chain based in MO called B&B Theaters. They have really figured out how to extract money from my wallet. Large reclining seats with very wide aisles. Huge screens and great sound. Bar and grill on site. Ticket sales and seat selection done online, so you get your spot. Really makes going to the movies a better experience. Just a ticket is about what you pay anywhere, but it's a $40-50 dollar deal by the time we're done with it

Same with the Alamo Drafthouse here in town. Prices are the same everywhere but it's a much better experience skipping the ticket line and ordering a meal & beer from your seat. Especially the Loaded Fries!
