Think a long the lines of the two I mentioned. Pure popcorn fun. A Few Good Men would fall under that category but I won’t watch it.

Yep. Give it a try. If you're creative you can figure it out. Use yer noggin my little friend.

Your first clue is I said "in this thread", there I just limited your search to a single thread from the entire Web site. Happy hunting!

I don’t think it’s possible to search within just 1 thread.

This. Should have stopped after 1 season. The acting was SO bad too.

Agreed. And the finale more or less complete undid everything the show was trying to establish as a theme. The themes of some overarching power being in control and how can the little guy hope to stand against them, and through even the end of the 2nd season it felt like they were going to reach the ending of the little guy coming out on top, then the third season just reaffirmed this was a korean show where government and big business collude to keep everyone else in check and the best you can hope for is your kids to get a little bit further ahead if the big power players decide that is in the cards. It was terrible.
 
Watching Grenfell Uncovered. What a terrible tragedy. So many bad decisions were made. The building was lit up like a firecracker but they were telling people to stay in place. That guy's friend calling him and telling him to get the hell out, how thankful must that guy be.
 
Just like @Miggs said this isn't necessarily a Netflix one but I know we've briefly discussed the bear in this thread, or maybe elsewhere. But I've been watching the newest season, and I really feel like they've hit a stride. I know it's received very mixed reviews, with a lot of people feeling like it's slowed way down, that I feel like that's just allowed them to focus more on the characters and the relationships and the meaning behind what it is to be part of something bigger than yourself. I found this season to be very emotional, maybe it's the personal situation my wife and I find ourselves in, but I really feel like they are showing that they have built to something bigger than what the show started out to be. I feel like the writing is very tight, even while they give the story space to breathe. Up to this point I've liked the show fine, but now I'm starting to feel like it is really one of the best shows I've ever seen. Really curious to know if anyone else is watching it, and if you feel like it's falling off this season, or like I have gotten better, or maybe just stayed the same.

Nice. I look forward to watching it eventually. (Its gonna be a while though. Currently watching White Lotus and Alone and now I have to watch South Park as well and there are few movies I want to watch.)
I thought season 1 was a 9.4/10. Season 2 was a 9.8/10. I dont know how to rank season 3 but I thought it kind of sucked kind of bad. Maybe my expectations were too high after season 2 but I feel like season 3 was like a 4/10 or something.

So its nice to hear that you liked season 4 alot. I wasn't ready to give up on The Bear yet. Its had episodes of perfection and season 2 was close to perfection.

Blue Ruin: The use of silence and simple conversations in this revenge tale are very strong. There’s a scene about 60% of the way through in which the protagonist’s decisions hurt the film imo. I realize people could do anything in high stress moments but it just felt a little bit unbelievable. Still, it’s one of the better more recent revenge tales. I’d give it a 7.3.

Check out the director's followup, Green Room. A punk band plays a gig in rural Oregon, turns out to be a Nazi bar. (There are actually a ****-load of Nazis in rural Oregon, if you don't know.) First time I actually wanted to see Patrick Stewart die a horrible death.
