Movies You Should Watch But May Not Even Know About. There are hundreds of movies released each year. Only a small percentage make it to large scale theatrical screenings.   Hidden from general public sight, there are always a crop of movies that deserve attention. 

is a start. 3 movies that I enjoy for one reason or another, and believe other viewers may find worth their time. We can discuss the “why” these movies are chosen by me. We can even discuss the “really, this!?” factor of some of my choices.  I want to expand horizons, knowledge, and enjoyment of these movies.

1. Farewell, My Lovely (1975)

2. Streets of Fire (1984)

3.  The Kindred (1987)

What's your Favorite movie and why?

Mines probably Last of the Mohicans because it's amazing.

Anyone else super excited to see the sequel to This Is Spinal Tap? : )

"You know, there are 13 ways of doing anything. 11 of them will work. Just pick one and do it.”. Dennis Hightower, who at the time was head of Disney International.

He asked me why I wasn’t doing something, and I responded by explaining the pros and cons of two different ways of doing it. Thoughtfully, he replied “You know, there are 13 ways of doing anything. 11 of them will work. Just pick one and do it.”

The best Founders avoid over-analyzing. At a startup, you don’t have time — and the result will most likely be marginal. Pick a way and do it. Be consistently decisive.

I think Lalo, from Better Call Saul, is the only deeply embodied villain I've ever seen portrayed on television. He's embodied in both the sense that he has strong physical energy in every scene, and also importantly the way the character seems to navigate the world through intelligent, but 'non-conscious' actions. He's like, a Taoist hero.

It sharply contrasts him with the other villain, Gus, who is a cerebral planner thinking everything through. This difference goes hand in hand with their conflict. I thought both actors portrayed their roles and their mindsets magnificently; here's a great analysis of the subtle ways that Tony Dalton brought that to the role https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ddXnhoQ1I-4&ab_channel=JustanObservation
