    Agreed. It is very rare to see a character driven drama. That’s why I keep hyping Banshees of Inisherin. I also really liked the Humans from 2021.

    The Sadness was probably one of the best "character driven dramas" you've suggested I watch. :lol:

    Jury is still out on the other ones. 🤮

    You know, I loved the Iron Claw. I thought it was extremely well done. I knew so little about the storyline and the family, but I was just telling hubs the other day that it's easily one of the best I'd seen in a LONG time. 

    Wife and I watched it last night.  Agreed it was a really good movie.

    Afterwards I was reading the trivia about it on IMDB..

    There was actually another brother named Chris that also committed suicide via gun.  They decided to leave that out of the movie as it was sadly redundant due to the suicides of Mike and Kerry. 

    The brother David also had a daughter that died when she was a year old.

    Lots of tragedy in that family.

    Yeah, half those movies are classics, not B movies.  Elm Street, Friday the 13th, Evil Dead even, along with what you listed.

    But... I was hoping that Re-Animator was listed.  I was a senior in HS, and took a date (cheerleader two years my younger) to watch this at the drive-in.  It had nothing to do with the movie, it was about getting a cheerleader to the drive-in.  The movie, I'll say... did not add to the mood.  :lol: 

    Still got a handy though.  :D 

    Didnt the scene where the reanimated head went down on the chick make your date all hornay???

    So this one person somehow overshadows soaring stock market, GDP, CPI, wages as well as record-low unemployment, decreasing inflation and a whole lot of indicators than those isolated cases that MAGAturds cling to in hopes of detracted from an actually great economy that undermines their felonious boyo's ability to get votes to become the atrocious dictator they want him to be.

    Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    "This one person" was a PSA being played during previews before a major movie in AMC theaters.  Maybe you should call and explain to these poor moms that can't afford diapers how it's all in their imagination because the GDP is awesome.

    Yeah our family was close on both sides growing up.   She helped watched my kids before they went to elementary school so it's been hard on them as well. 

    Sorry man.  Nice to hear she helped watch your kids when they were little.  Those bonds run deep. 

    Major downside of moving cross country is we didn't have any family members nearby when the kids were little.  My kids know their grandparents, of course, but it was more of a yearly trip back East or them coming out at Christmas kinda thing.

    This is like how my relationship was w my grandparents as I grew up in NY while they were in KS.

    Jason Bateman.  I knew his sister Justine from Family Ties (may have rubbed out one or a bunch of times to her), and figured he was just glomming onto the name.

    But after Arrested Development and Ozark... big fan.  :thumbsup:

    He's one of those actors that I pretty much like in everything.

    Agreed on Mallory(?) Keaton btw

  7. Robert Pattinson

    Never saw the Twilight movies (since I'm not a teenage girl) but I knew he gained fame as the pretty boy vampire so I never took him seriously.

    My opinion has 100% changed now that I'm finally watching "The Lighthouse".   He's doing a great job.

    What actors/actresses ended up impressing you after you initially wrote them off? 

    Edit: Thanks to Worms for pointing out I got his damn name wrong 😅
