    I agree with the "& Many More and More." There are so very many great movies that we can almost forgive the moviemakers the tons of shit they've thrown out. But if wading through the all the bad ones gives us a couple of gems like "Three Billboards" and "Darkest Hour" to name two, it's worth the journey.

    Three Billboards really lives up to all the acclaim?If so, that’s next on the list. Thanks for this great resource.

    Oh, it does! But you probably will not want to see it twice - very heavy theme. This one we watch for the acting - almost supernatural.

    OK. On your recommendation, we'll plunge on in. But keep in mind that I'm a movie wuss.

    Do Not make popcorn. It will end up all over the room.

    I took your good advice about the popcorn.

    Good. Less cleanup now.

    I often wonder what the voters were thinking, but I have to agree with the Oscars "Billboards" won. Meryl Streep is deservedly the gold standard, but nobody could have done that part better than Frances.

    Just seen this movie, and it good-ish. I know its sci-fi, but its a little bit confusing, but funny in parts because of it

    IMDB didn't seems to have an actor out from the credits. Sanjeev Bhaskar, from Goodness Gracious Me

    I’ve never been able to get into sci-fi. If you could recommend your very favorites, I’d like to try again -

    I think Star Trek is an easy kind of sci-fi that you might like, but don't take the fanboys and girls seriously, they'll certainly do your head in. They like to over convolute anything Star Trek

    I have watched a lot of Star Trek episodes, but not in a long time. Never could master Spock’s hand/finger thing.

    Yeah, that one. It seems to be the only finger signal I haven’t mastered.

    I can do it, after much training. But only with my right hand.
