Andrew Roach ✅Okay, so I have spent the last several hours talking about the alt-right, and accidentally upsetting a linkedin fan.
Now it's time to do something a little more productive.
So, what is your favorite film that I probably haven't seen?
Crow@ajroach42 I rather like the Pursuit of Happyness
OneManicNinja@ajroach42 box of moonlight
@OneManicNinja What's this about? I haven't even heard of it.
@ajroach42 john turturro and sam rockwell. it's just beautiful. i can't eat a tomato without remembering that movie.
@OneManicNinja I'll take a look. Thanks for the suggestion.
@ajroach42 rockwell is a genius in that one... let me know what you think!
@OneManicNinja I'll try to remember!
@OneManicNinja Just checked the wikipedia page for this one, and I'm amazed I've never heard of it?
I'll have to look in to it for sure.

Only guessing what films you might have seen, I'd say: "World on a wire"

@peter 70s german flick about virtual reality? Letterbox. I think it was originally a made for TV movie?
I haven't seen it in a few years, but I remember *really* enjoying it when I saw it. (either right before or right after the criterion collection edition? I think I got it from cinemagedon.)
@ajroach42 Guess I will have to try harder, then... ;)
jacoby@ajroach42 Most recent favorite is Don't Think Twice. Just felt like a new classic for me.
@jacoby Never even heard of that, but the cast and crew look pretty much perfect, so it's towards the top of the list. Thanks!
@ajroach42 also Boyhood. Dunno how you feel about dramedies but those are my recs.
@jacoby I heard mixed-but-leaning-towards-good things about boyhood. I've been meaning to watch it.
Berthavlix@ajroach42 Have you seen Force Majuere? The premise is that an avalanche looks like it's about to hit a hotel balcony, and the father of a family there runs away to save himself, leaving the family behind. The rest of the movie is the fallout from that moment.
@Berthavlix that's sounds pretty familiar, but I don't think I've seen it. Any good?
@ajroach42 Yes, it's beautifully shot, and the faintly ridiculous premise gets stretched out and deepened by the characters' reactions afterward. I really enjoyed it.
@Berthavlix I'll add it to the list. Thanks!
MacJezza :white_check_mark: @ajroach42 The Man From Earth
@MacJezza with David Bowie! Weird flick.
@ajroach42 nah, the one with John Billingsley and Richard Riehle.
@MacJezza Oh, yeah. Right, right , right. I was thinking of "The Man Who Fell to Earth"
Different thing all together.
I feel like I have seen the Man From Earth? But I can't be sure right now. I'll check when I get home tonight.
