This movie is incredibly old but absolutely as good as it gets.  I think it's from the 50's. " Friendly Persuasion" with Gary Cooper and Dorothy McGuire about a Quaker family during the Civil War.  When it came out it was the talk of the town all across America.

Shenandoah with Jimmy Stewart is pretty great too.

We watched Captain Phillips a few nights ago. I really liked it

I'm sure Disney isn't your thing, but the new Aladdin is really good. 

Olympus, Angel and London has fallen with Gerard Butler are all good.

The Heat and The Proposal with Sandra Bullock are always good for a laugh.

If you've got a crude sense of humor Shameless is a good one, not a movie but it'll kill some time.

Of course if you want to kill 12 or so hours you can watch Lonesome Dove, I choose to skip the snake part. . .

I've been following this thread pretty close. If this weather doesn't break and we stay grounded I'm going to need lots to watch.

Miracle of the White Stallions. (Sometime in the late 60's).  Take note of the political situation in the movie. On Netflix

Shindler's List. I watch this every year at Christmas. Keeps me humble. Good movie. 

Bernie comedy about a murder that happened 10 miles from me!  Mathew McConaughy and Jack Black. True story..funny

The Man Who Broke 1,000 Chains. This is more of a drama. It was filmed down at the end of the road I live on which happens to be a dead end. If you had to go somewhere, you had to wait for them to stop filming. It was made for HBO.

ok we did this last summer with some 20 year old nieces and looked at oldies and had a blast with the current environment I am sticking with fun/light or romatic

Officer and Gentleman - classic

Killer Clowns from outerspace - Campy fun dumb but is a classic

Rocky Horror Picture show - Campy dump , but Dammit Janet will keep you singing

My Cousin Vinny, Dirty Dancing - sure you have all seen it, but still great

More silly comedy but classic The gods must be crazy, 

The lord of of the rings series

 Sure I can think of more - but some suggestions that you may not have thought or even heard of :)

We recently watched the Maze Runner series part 1&2 and I guess we are going to need to find the 3rd one somewhere - I can't believe I enjoyed it! LOL it kept my husband and I on the edge of our seats. When the first one was over - we were like we gotta watch the next one! 

The Hitman's bodyguard - funny and action packed

Sylvester - really old movie about a feed yard bronc turned grand prix jumper.  If you can find it, its a good one.

Homeland - Jason Statham movie - action packed

American Sniper - Chris Kyle story - based on true events

Zero Dark Thirty - search for Osama bin laden

Lone Survivor - true Navy Seal story - Marcus Luttrell

The Mustang - based on the prison horse program in Nevada - (not sure if it is based on true events or not)

The Pacifier - big bad military dude babysitting kids while mom goes to business conference - just a cute, funny movie

The night of the grizzly - old western type movie - just love it!

300 - Spartan war type movie

The Last Samurai - Tom Cruise plays a military guy who embraces the samurai culture.

Anne of Green Gables - classic - watch anytime movie

All of the Rocky movies including Creed  - for some reason i love them - even though they are kinda corny. LOL

Book of Eli - its hard for me to describe without giving away the plot - its good -

 

P.S I have no idea why there is all this blank space below my reply -

May I suggest:

Outbreak

The Andromedia Strain  Michael Crighton  the book is better but movie good

The Stand   Stephen King the book was better

I hate to ruin a good thread but since the one discussing the virus is just bashing Joe Biden (who I said I didn't like) at a time like this. I think some need a wake up call.  It's OK for anyone but me to discuss anything political or hyjack over politics.

I'm truly not liking this wait and see, it's touching people I know.

Cowboy up - bull rider told not ride any more - (we know how that goes, right? lol)  Total surprise ending!

Beaches - friendship and loyalty - bring the tissues

Up close and Personal - Robert Redford

The Horse Whisperer

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo series- there are 5 all together - computer espionage type movies - not kid appropriate.

My all time fav.... Broken Trail. It is by far the best western I have watched. Has Robert Duvall and I love him as a cowboy. Iv watched it maybe 100 times :

 

Its not a movie, but on Netflix is The Office and I have seen that a million times. Still makes me laugh. Parks and recreation is good too.

Bull Durham minus the R Rated scenes.  Great movie.   Of course you are a baseball family so you would appreciate it.
