Hunt for Red October
The Outpost
Master and Commander
The Martian
All four Matrix movies
The Godfather Trilogy, best in a single sitting (Connie’s arc is awesome, the cinematography of the third epic; the only problem is how much more of the outside world each of the sequels needs).
Greyhound
A Bridge Too Far (which has changed dramatically as I have learned over the last almost fifty years; I now see it as so subtlety tongue in cheek and cynical).
Draft Day. Possibly the best constructed movie.

- PeterWhittaker 2y agoI’ve been struggling with how best to express it, but I think it comes down to the recapitulation, in the musical sense, i.e., how a composer will revisit a theme and take it in a new or at least different direction; to the möbius strip/meta quality; and to the banality of the evil of the antagonist: why, yes, that’s exactly how I would expect a deranged and resentful program to punish its (perceived) enemy. The continuing question of perception, both of reality and of values, is a key element of all of that. It’s true to the original, repeating parts of it without ever being the same. The River of The Matrix, or the Matrix of Thaddeus, if you will.
