Not sure if this one has been mentioned but it should be. It is a wonderful portrayal of a Marine lost in battle and being processed through the military system prior to and about his final resting place. It revolves around Lieutenant Colonel Michael Strobl (USMC) who has been given the honour of accompanying the fallen home.Wonderfully potrayed imho :thumb: Kevin Bacon is terrific in this role.

3 O'clock High. Painfully funny. Just bought it for a coworker.

In the same vein as Better Off Dead if that means anything to anybody.

Funny is good. Rare, but good.

Will check it out, thanks for the recommendation.

The Frozen Ground.

Damned good movie, based on a true story of an Alaskan serial killer (Robert Hansen) who raped and murdered some 20-40 women, burying them in remote hunting areas.

Nicolas Cage (eh) and Vanessa Hudgens.

Second best movie I've ever seen Cage in, (after Raising Arizona).

Worth watching, on NetFlix right now.

Deep Blue Sea. Great action survival movie. LL Cool J and Sam Jackson and some big toothed fish star in this. Loved the whole thing.

Non-stop with Liam Neeson. It is a very good movie. An air marshal springs into action during a transatlantic flight after receiving a series of text messages that put his fellow passengers at risk unless the airline transfers $150 million into an off-shore account.

Capt. Phillips

Didn't think I would like it because most movies based on real life stories suck. This one was the right pace and kept me interested. BTW I am not a real Tom Hanks fan, but he did a great job with this one.

Looking forward to that one.
Everything I've heard is good, and was captivated by the event as it was happening.
