Movie suggestions?

I went to see Obsession.

That movie is pretty messed up. It's a good movie, but it's messed up.

Good movie about the weather. And also about World War II and D-Day

I just watched The Long Walk. It was meh. I can recommend it only if you liked Stephen King’s Bachman Books and Different Seasons collections.

Under the Skin - Scarlet Johansson
It's streaming for free, but I forgot which channel, Should not be hard to find.
Kinda weird. The story is told with stunning visuals and. magnificent photography, and about two paragraphs of dialogue.It's one of those movies that demands your attention; you're trying to figure out what is going on right till the last.
ScarJo does a nude scene.
It's worth an hour and a half, if you like that kind of stuff. I enjoyed it.

The Invite is a good movie.

Penelope Cruz is insanely attractive.

This is a crazy dark and weird movie. Not sure I'd recommend it to anyone unless, for example, you enjoyed the last Cronenberg film, "Crimes of the Future." I did like it, but it's a challenge.

Well, I went to see The Odyssey. It was good and I liked it. Those who are up in arms about it are just stupid and likely they only half-read the Cliff Notes version that you get exposed to in junior high. I'm gonna see it again and this time at the IMAX.

That's quite an endorsement. Most of the time I don't even want to see good movies twice in such a short period.

I saw The Odyssey at a 70 mm Dolby IMAX theater during its opening week (I believe that this theater is only one of 26 similarly equipped theaters in the US). The movie (with end credits--yes, I do watch those) is just short of 3 hours long, so at that theater it is being shown in 4 hour slots of 10 am, 2 pm, 6 pm and 10 pm (I saw the 10 am). I timed the opening ads/commercials/trailers at 40 minutes which began at 9:50 am, within minutes of my sitting down in my seat.

DO NOTE: it is LOUD, but not so loud that I worried about my hearing.

The last time I READ The Odyssey was a half-century ago in a high school honors-program humanities class where reading that and "The Illiad" were NOT optional, so I cannot say how rigorous was Nolan's depiction. Even at 3 hours, I'm certain that many parts were left out or given too short depictions. I am tempted to re-read The Odyssey.

The movie is magnificent. I was totally engaged throughout the movie despite its length, There are parts I would like to discuss but will not do so here to avoid spoilers.
