| I've suffered through too many bad movies. What are your all time favorites and why? I can't tell you how many times I've watched Bride Maids with the wife. I prefer war movies but that's a no no in our house.

        Location: Kansas | Quigley Down Under because Tom Selleck was gorgeous in this 1993 movie and it's just a colorful, interesting, fun Western. What's that you say Dave, you're not really into gorgeous guys. Trust me, it's still a great movie. |

You can NEVER go wrong with a Ton Selleck movie! Monte Walsh is my favorite or his! You also can't go wrong with a good Robert Duvall movie! Open Range and Broken Trail of 2 of my favorites. I really want to see 1917. I might bite the bullet and pay for it on Amazon to watch it. |

| Quigley is a classic. You are right. It's hard to watch most movies now a days because of the liberal stance of the actors, but they ARE actors and they do a good job in their roles. We watched "A Star is Born" (no not the Barbara Striedand version). This one is more recent and stars Bradly Cooper. Couldn't figure out who the gal was then after the movie we realized it was Lady Gaga. Shocked. But wow what a voice. She can actually act too. Sad movie but good. Loved the singing scenes. |

Please forgive me for I am an opinionated old lady, and I love you. I liked the first A Star Is Born better myself, I was disappointed in the remake and I think all the actors did a great job and love Lady GaGa. I must say when she wore the meat suit I thought she was nuts. The song "Evergreen" was one of the songs from my wedding in 1979. Since we are still married that movie is very special to me. Now I have a different take on actors (maybe they should stay out of politics... who knows) many of them got a lot of money pretty quick, some not having to work real hard other struggling for years. Many of them have waited tables and had crap jobs for years trying to get a break. IMO some of them understand what it's like to be poor. I do appreciate those who put money where the mouth is and I pay attention. Jimmy Fallon does his show from home with his kids on Facebook and tries to raise money for all kinds of charity has since they took him off the air. Just like some of you want to bash actors and won't watch their movies. Will you feel the same way about big business and what they do. I'm not trying to turn this political at all. I just notice who steps up and I'm very disappointed in some. The companies who paid CEO"s $$$$ when they already got a great salary, don't come crying now. Before any of this even started Brad Pitt has been building houses since Katrina and Charles Barkley is auctioning off all his trophies to do the same. Charles said it's just stuff, if it can help somebody, I don't need it. Those a just a couple. Sorry to hyjack you can ban me if you want. Thank you. Sorry have to go I'm using that awful boxed hair color the stylists have been warning me about will make my hair fall out.  Gotta look good to sit at home. Only been using it 40 years |

| Apollo 13 "Failure is not an option" is classic and true. Love it. Also "The Right Stuff" is incredible and mostly accurate story of the space program. |

| Robin Hood Prince of Thieves with Kevin Costner Princess Bride The Goonies Armaggedon Avatar Any John Wayne movies, but My favs are McClintock, El Dorado, and True Grit. Basically I like it when the good guy comes out ok in the end I guess if I look for a common theme here. If you want something thought provoking, watch the new Joker movie. It was horrifyingly sad for me from my educational perspective from the Mental health standpoint. It was disturbing and I could see how he ended up the way he did based on his past. It was dark and I hope people realize that sort of thing happens a lot. |

     Location: Arkansas | Movies I've watched so many times I can quote them line by line: Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid -- "Boy, I got vision and the rest of the world wears bifocals" Tombstone -- "I'm sorry, I forgot you were there. You may go now" Dirty Dancing -- "I'm doing all this to save your @$$, when what I really want to do is drop you on it" Roadhouse -- "Polar bear fell on me" Monty Walsh -- "You can't have no idea how little I care" The Cowboy Way -- "One day never been east of Tulsa, next day BOOM I'm east of Tulsa" I also guilty-pleasure watched Legally Blonde yesterday, lol. It was on TV. |

Hey fulltilt.... Did you know that the home of the rockford peaches (in the movie) is right here in lululand?? We still use the referbished facility for the high school baseball team (the one my brother in law coaches) that made their 1st ever state tourney appearences the last two seasons. It also hosts a premier team for the wooden bat leagues in the summer. The "Bombers" play a 40 game roster and have had several summer college students go on to play in the majors. The summer baseball schedule at League Stadium includes the Peaches as hosteses and Casey as the team mascot. Its a great family entertainment evening here in the summers in this nostalgic ballpark that was a big part of the movie A League of their Own. https://dcbombers.com/the-bombers-experience/league-stadium/ |
