Working from home and very little to go out and do at night means I'm watching more movies these days and I'm sure I'm not alone there. Thought it might be nice to have a thread where everyone can drop in with what they've watched recently, have some discussion on it, other people can jump in and get suggestions, etc. I figure most people go to the respective threads for TV shows they're watching, and sometimes you can find the original thread for a movie, but that's not always the case.

I even put asterisks in the title so it would be official.

Watched a couple of movies yesterday.

Little Miss Sunshine (2006): Personal copy. Seen it a couple of times before but not in a long time. Always makes me laugh, decent writing but the real funny stuff is in the visual gags. The last 20 minutes or so of the movie never fails to make me laugh.

Free Fire (2016): Netflix. First time watching this one and couldn't find a thread for it. Decent enough shoot out/Reservoir Dog style movie with a great cast, only about 90 minutes long. It's from 2016, but got wide release in 2017, making it the fourth movie of that year to feature a John Denver song (Alien: Covenant, Kingsman, and Logan Lucky are the other 3 which all used Country Roads).

I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round
I really love to watch them roll
No longer riding on the merry-go-round
I just had to let it go

I've finished The Office, Parks & Rec, Witcher, Ozark Season 2, and am currently going through Season 3 of Ozark.

Only thing on that list I haven't seen is Witcher, maybe now is the time to do it.

My wife and I have also been watching Little Fires Everywhere on Hulu with Reese Witherspoon and Kerry Washington. It's not particularly great, kind of a Big Little Lies style show where it opens with a mystery and the season builds up to it, set in a 90's suburb in Ohio. The characters are not very likable and Kerry Washington maybe selling it all a little too much. Going to stick with it because I'm curious how it ends and I've got an obsession with Witherspoon.

Finished a rewatch of Band of Brothers and now we're onto Scrubs and Wonder Years. Also been working my way through Star Wars Rebels (finished up Clone Wars earlier).

Also a Marvel movie in there on occasion along with tons of Daniel Tiger and Phineas and Ferb.

Berlin Station on Epix. Finished season 1. Pretty good series so far.

Rewatching Veep and Community

I read the book for my book club and it wasn't that great either.

Narcos: Mexico

Bosch

Finished Ozarks

Counterpart

We're thinking about starting Tales from the Loop. Any thoughts?

I'm also considering Zero Zero Zero.

Thanks to this thread I'm now also considering Berlin Station.

Rewatch of Newsroom and Chernobyl

Legion

Had previously seen the 1st episode and liked it, but I usually have very little TV time so I never got any farther. Now I'm midway into season 2 and really enjoying it. Had no idea that Jemaine Clement was in this - he is hilarious as always.

Thinking about going through Newsradio afterward. One of the most underrated comedies of all time.

Simultaneously started Veep and Curb Your Enthusiasm and holy ****, these are hilarious.

Legion is great. Fantastic performances from Clement, Plaza, and Stevens. It gets too tricky for it's own good at times but overall I enjoyed all 3 seasons.

Dexter, season 1
Tiger King

Witcher, Tiger King, Expanse (latest season), Community, Money Heist (latest season), TWD, BCS

Waiting for my wife to be able to watch Ozark S3. It's one of the few shows we watch together.

Witcher was really strange for me. It had some good moments, but not sure if I liked it. Kind of a mix between GoT and Xena Warrior Princess. The time jumps between (and sometimes during) the episodes left me a little confused, especially because none of the characters age.

New Bosch next week, right?

I hope so! We're almost caught up.

The Wire. Missed it first time around.

Tentin Quarantino movies

Rewatched Bernie (2011) on Amazon Prime yesterday. Always fun to see your neighbors, people you stand next to at the grocery store, and extended family members well represented in a movie.

Watched: Tiger King, McMillions, Ozark, Love is Blind

Currently watching "Nailed It" on Netflix after seeing it in the top 10. That one makes me laugh a lot

My 4 year old and 1 year old to make sure they don't kill themselves.

Better Call Saul (Seasons 1 -4)

Started watching Justified for the first time ever and working on that now

Catching up on Westworld, will finish S2 tonight. Thinking about starting Ozark next.

Caught up with current season of The Walking Dead since AMC made it free.

Now starting Killing Eve.

Narcos

Columbia and now Mexico

I was in that movie. You can see me standing near Jack Black in the scene where they are breaking ground on the church addition.

That's actually really cool, I know they filmed at several spots around Texas. Did you just volunteer to be an extra that day?

Just finished S c hitt's Creek seasons 1-5, need to find the final season now

YouTube TV carries Pop. I watched the series finale last night

My wife and I have been building up for this moment. We haven't done any streaming, honestly just too busy most the time. So literally everything is on the table. We've watched:

Jack Ryan
The morning show
Man in the high castle
Marvelous Mrs Maisel
I'm on season 4 of the office (watching while cycling)
Love is blind (eye roll)
Tried modern love but didn't care for it
Also tried fleabag but gave up after the first episode
Just started Ozark
Been watching boy meets world back from scratch to have something on during the day while working

I was the City Manager of Smithville at the time. I would tell the film companies that I wanted to be an extra. That scene was actually filmed in Bastrop.

Huh, not bad.

I am trying Peaky Blinders, again. I just can't get into it but desperate for something to watch.
