Re: movies
eh, it got a 63% on rotten tomatoes. Seems obvious it was not meant to be an objective list. I trust his opinion on the rest of them.Popeye_Card wrote:I can't help but question the credibility of a movie buff who has Magic Mike XXL listed at #22.

Re: movies
Saw the Michael Fassbender "Macbeth". I liked it, but it would be nearly impossible for me not to like it. They made some curious choices. The ending scene is Macbeth and Macduff in single combat, without any big battle. And they chose to play Birnam Wood-to-Dunsinane in a way that I didn't really like.

Succumbed paid and watched "valley uprising" re: documentary of history of Yosemite climbing. Real worth it. Good stories, interesting characters, good filmography. I can understand now why the makers have held off giving it away for cheap

Re: movies
This list and jl's comments made me think I need to just walk away sloooooowwwllllly from this thread. I think there are a few people on a completely different level here. I never heard of one of those movies or those people. I'm guessing ol' Roy Anderson is a hoot.wart57 wrote:JL21 wrote:My takeaway from that list is "Holy [expletive]!

I can't think of a better place to ask this. Is putlocker a huge risk? She's not downloading anything but I can't imagine it's safe and approved.

Re: movies
It's on that slippery slope of sketchy websites that are likely to sneak malware and garbage onto your computer. I'm sure it's illegal in some way, and definitely a risk to your computer.
