a bit generous there with the ratings, but, i agree.Movies I have watched since the pandemic started.
Stalag 17 - it had been a good number of years. A true classic, 10/10.
Cyrano De Bergerac 1950 version. Brilliant. I have seen this one several times over the decades. 10/10
Sgt. York - Humor, action, drama, and based on actual person. 10/10
Inception - I had never seen it. Hugely disappointed. I suppose it was inevitable given the years of positive internet feedback about it. The movie struck me as Dreamscape meets the Matrix. 6/10
Bumblebee - Wife picked it, she liked it. My opinion is that it was a reboot of Herbie the Love Bug. 5/10
Watched some James Caan movies. From a very politically incorrect time.
Rollerball - Moonpie! 7/10
Killer Elite - classic action flick. 7/10
Freebie and the Bean - Even the title would trigger PC principle. One of the first buddy cop movies I am aware of. If you have never seen this one, it is damned funny, and has a classic car chase scene, like so many movies had back then. 8/10
Charlie Heston movies-
Omega Man - Nostalgia is great, but it did not age as well as I hoped it would. I feel like it is 6/10 but because of when it was made- 8/10
Soylent Green - is people. Key themes were, overpopulation, acidification of the oceans, and global warming. Unheeded cautionary tale. 10/10
If you want some nostalgia:
The 20 Best Seasons Of The Simpsons, Ranked
The Simpsons has been on the air for over 30 years. While its "Golden Age" is long over, the best Simpsons seasons are still worth remembering.screenrant.com
The list probably wont mean much to a lot of you, but for those of us who grew up with the show its kind of special. The series actually meant something to television and to America during its early seasons.
Along those lines:
A good analysis of what went right and what eventually went wrong.
James Caan = Rollerball.a bit generous there with the ratings, but, i agree.
I have two questions for you:
1. Rollerball - the 1975 masterpiece or the 2002 garbage?
2. Soylent Green - which colour is your favorite furniture girl?
yeah according to the video analysis (and I agree with it), the season 9 episode about Seymore Skinner being an intruder was when the show jumped the shark. Theres some decent episodes scattered thru season 9, but it marked the beginning of the slow decline.that's....not a bad list. I don't recall anything after season 10/whatever was the Lemon Tree season, ....which is what I call the end of the Simpsons, simply because that is when me and mine stopped watching. ...we taped them all and watched them religiously and, without shame at the time, basically communicated to each other in Simpsons quotes for the better part of High School, up until that time. ....shamelessly true.
So there are some mentions of seasons in there, that I have no idea, but I'm at 10 seasons, so if you're going to do a top 15 of what is it...25 seasons now? ....and pretty much everything you remember being great still makes it? so yeah, they figured it out.

They are on season 30 now. Some people who actually kept watching have said the quality has picked up in the last couple years, but I wouldnt know cuz I got sick of it a long time ago.
The one and only lemon tree episode was season 6.
Lemon of Troy
The lemon tree's gone!Bart Simpson "Lemon of Troy" is the twenty-fourth episode of Season 6. The children of Springfield wage war on Shelbyville, after their beloved town lemon tree comes up missing. The fathers of Springfield take Ned's RV to search for their boys and bring back their lemon...simpsons.fandom.com
And highly rated.
The debate rages on. Some people think the Simpsons peaked in earlier seasons. Some think it never went bad.ah dang, I guess for some reason I just recall that one being later. I know I watched through the first 10 seasons, but for some reason I put the Lemon Tree in my brain as the end of greatness, but that just isn't true.
Loved season 1. Can't wait to start up S2 of the boys!Of course..the boys season 2 episodes 1-3....damn awesome!
I watched the first 3 episodes of Raised by Wolves....whoa! some good Ridley Scott shit right there...dang!
Mulan...meh!
I watched all of season 1 just so i could be fresh for season 2. But the whole time I couldn't quite figure out who the actor for Homelander was..then it dawned on me. It's the motherfucker from Banshee.Loved season 1. Can't wait to start up S2 of the boys!
