I know Kurosawa’s non-Samurai films don’t get nearly as much attention but two that I highly recommend are “Ikiru” and “High and Low”.
“Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you.”

Ikiru I did see awhile back. That's the only non samurai film of his I've seen. While good, it was a bleaker subject matter that I'm not in a hurry to rewatch soon.

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Ultimate Edition (2016). 3 hour extended version.
Probably the best movie (to me) I've ever seen. That's a visceral review. Just enjoyed it as it unfolded without intellectual analysis.
Before viewing, I had no idea what it was about, how it might end, etc. -- that probably mattered.

Started «Ozark» with the wife. Three episodes in, we’re liking it so far.
Saw Top Gun 2 today. It was freaking awesome, that’s all I have to say about that.
In all my years I've never seen the like. It has to be more than a hundred sea miles and he brings us up on his tail. That's seamanship, Mr. Pullings. My God, that's seamanship!

Ozark just keeps getting better and better so enjoy the ride.
And TG2, what a film. I actually think over time I'll prefer it to the original.

Yep. First movie in ages that I’ll go and see again in the theatre. It was made with a lot of love and care for the original movie, it is clear that Tom Cruise didn’t just do it as a cash grab.

I fear for Kim as well. She is such a great character (actress). But we both know she is not with Saul in Breaking Bad. The end of episode 7 was shocking. I did not see that coming. I don't know what to watch right now. I am open to suggestions. We have Netflix, Amazon Prime (with Acorn & Brit Box), Disney + and Crave. Not a Sci-Fi or Fantasy guy. I prefer drama's. I'm thinking maybe Ozark, it seems to be popular.

Definitely recommend Ozark. You'll be hooked. Especially if you like Breaking Bad and BCS.
Also recommend Candy. Not sure if you get it on your channels but if you do give it a chance.
I'm biased but if you can tolerate British humour then Breeders is insanely good.

Candy is not available to stream for me. Disney + has Breeders though. I like British Humour. I found Fleabag and Cuckoo to be very funny. Thanks for the recommendations.

I don't know if it has been mentioned before in this thread, but I highly recommend Peaky Blinders. I just got done binge watching it. What a masterpiece. I love that era being so vividly portrayed. The whole thing just blew me away, and I'm not a big movie, series watching guy.

An unheard of rating as I either rate 3.75 or 4, but it fits right in there perfectly.

Peaky Blinders is on my list as well.
Might have to watch Justified again. The perfect show, in my opinion. Timothy Olyphant is über-cool as Raylan Givens, but Walton Goggins as Boyd Crowder steals every scene he’s in!

Just about to start Justified tonight - watched one episode years ago and wasn't sure - worth a retry.
