Like all this sort of thing was verboten on the tube at home? But you've been on your own for like, 15 years?

Yes’th. Nothing rated R, and very few PG-13 movies were watched at home. Most of what was watched was Disney movies, stuff like The Sound of Music, my mom really liked all the Tom Hanks with Meg Ryan’s movies.. mostly the TV just wasn’t really on at our place. We were pushed to play outside, read, or play with toys.

And then after I moved out I just have never really had the attention span to enjoy sitting and watching movies. There are a handful that I like and will watch if I don’t feel like doing anything else, like the LOTR trilogy, but generally unless I’m stoned and just feel like zoning out I’d rather be doing other stuff.. stoned movies I usually rotate through Super Bad, Pineapple Express, Step Brothers, 21 Jump Street.. just dumb comedies.

I appreciate the usual thoughtful response. I'll try and zone in on must see flicks and respond tomorrow.

1, Historical with Violence/Action: Gladiator or Braveheart and both really.
2. Western: Tombstone
3. War: Full Metal Jacket
4. Mob: Goodfellas

These are all fully vetted 5 star choices with actors who did not die before you were born and entertaining for even the most ardent movie hater.

Because our boy Brandon has, for reasons, focused his off work hours on things besides cinema, and I am trying to make my suggestions as relateable as possible. I watch all the same old man shit you do, so don't think I'm somehow equating recentness with quality.

At first I discarded the newer Midway as a desecration of Henry Fonda's grave but I saw it a second time and I'm coming around to some things about it that are ok.
