Always been a big Rocky fan. Also love Russell Crowe.
Were you a fan of L.A. Confidential? The Quick and the Dead?
I've seen it and it was good. Also loved a "Beautiful Mind" .
Also "American Gangster" from 2007 which included Russell Crowe and Denzel Washington.
Big fan of LA Confidential.......I also liked Master & Commander, an underrated film.
SGG
Very good film "Quick and the Dead". I couldn't get into "Master and Commander". Didn't care for the writing.
Also good was "3:10 from Yuma" which was done in 2007. Starring Russell Crowe, Christian Bale and Alan Tudyk was in it.
I felt the original 3:10 From Yuma from 1957 was better.

I'd like to compile a list, both for reference regarding what Browncoats like and recommend, and for a list of films to look for, considering the dwindling outlook for films this year.
I have loved movies/films as long as I can remember - even went to school in Cali (briefly) to be in the film business. BUT... after looking at your list it occurred to me that recently I am more impressed by long story form TV shows. Breaking Bad, The Wire, Game of Thrones, etc... about as powerful as the medium can make.
I had hoped Firely would be a long story form show.
Do you consider all of this type to be binge-worthy, or do you prefer bite sized segments, for separate sittings?

No one can confirm or recommend to someone else that a show is "binge-worthy" or not, since we all approach shows from different perspectives. Even if something leaves you anxious to find out what happens next, it doesn't mean you're emotionally prepared to take it in large doses. "The Wire" was that way for me. Love it, but wouldn't think of bingeing it.

Exactly the type of input I was hoping for.

Yep, everybody has their take, sometimes I forget that.

Me too on Firefly.
Those shows are definitely binge-worthy. I think it depends on the viewer and the show though as to how much you can watch in a sitting. House of Cards is rather depressing imho, so I don't usually watch more than an ep at a time, but it's mostly (except for the occasional GIANT shark jumping) a really strong tv show.
Would either of you mind if I copied your replies over to the Binge-worthy thread?

A good film and solid performance by Sly. I thought for sure he would get an Oscar, but that's me.
Every once in a while I listen to someone else and take on a suggestion for a
movie to watch, I'm talking about from a fellow movie goer, and it seems to
work out for a good experience. Glad you enjoyed it, it was a pleasant surprise for me.

What did you think about Copland?
I think I forgot to include that in the best films of that period.
And now I remember:
In Bruges (2008) IIRC my gut hurt a lot from the humor. And maybe I choked on or spit out my soda a few times.
The Debt (2010) Perhaps my favorite Jessica Chastain performance to date. It seemed to me a similar feel as Munich (2005) did.

Hey JSF,
I liked Copland, but it's been a while since I last saw it, so I really don't remember much of it.
I haven't seen The Debt, but I love In Bruges - hilarious!!
Quiet as it's kept, Sly is a good actor and in the right hands a great actor.
He should have won an Oscar for Creed.
