Don't Look Up (2021)
Worth all its Oscar nominations
I haven't laughed so much in a very long time at the movies. This film is a gem, every minute of it, and one of the best satiric movies ever. This is who we are, folks! . The more ludicrous and hilarious the movie became, the more it yielded its dark message. All the actors were terrific, but I give the top marks to Mark Rylance, whose superbly creative portrayal of a callous, delusional CEO was as blood chilling as it was comically true.
Monarchy by David Starkey (2004)
Will always be a favorite
I have been watching this series for three years already. Watched many chapters twice or three times. I find David Starkey to be a superb narrator, eloquent, dramatic, a voice one must listen to. It's incalculable how much I have learned. I am not British yet as a fan of History and documentaries, I am extremely impressed with these series. The visuals and the music are excellent, but Starkey's narration is often enough to hold my attention.
The Highwaymen (2019)
Don't listen to the critics
If you care about facts and history, this film is for you. It is realistic, sobering yet with hilarious moments, an original take on the story, perfectly paced, beautifully acted. Thoroughly enjoyable. In contrast, the much hallowed Beatty-Dunaway Bonnie and Clyde version the critics compare The Highwaymen with ad nauseam, contains crass misrepresentations of the facts. I suggest, in general, that critics have become alienated from plainly good movies, entering a rarified stratosphere where they deconstruct and reinvent the actual film to match their likely jaded prejudices, and where excellence is no longer good enough. Just watch the film. You'll love it.
