At the Drive-in (2017)
Merrigan Able 7 points 3 years ago*.

This is a fantastic documentary… I highly recommend it!

How many people were first conceived in the backseat of their parent’s car, while they were parked at some drive-in movie date?
Designed for the suburbs of the 1950s, many people missed the golden age of the drive-in, as most shutdown by the 1980s… But the drive-in theater found a new role in the summer of 2020, as a covid safe site for collective entertainment.
With most live events on pause, the drive-in movie theater became covid summer’s go-to venue…
For most people, there’s something heartwarming and affirming about seeing other humans who are all there for one thing, because they want to be entertained…

Will the lingering pandemic spur a drive-in rebirth? 😊

Moon Knight (2022)
ROBIN00 8 points 4 years ago.

This is gonna be a great show, i can feel it.

Merrigan Able 6 points 2 years ago.

I feel you feeling it, and I’m feeling it with you. Also, it stars Oscar Isaac and Ethan Hawke!

Lolly-Madonna XXX (1974)
Merrigan Able 4 points 3 years ago.

One of my all time faves! I first saw this on the late night telly when I was a kid. It’s one of those films, seen in childhood, that you never forget.
It was never released on VHS…
For years I tried to find a bootleg copy online. It was the driving force that lead me into the world of private torrent trackers, where I was able to find a digital copy from a VHS TVRip. Man was I chuffed ‘my precious’! The quality wasn’t bad either, totally watchable. I was so happy…
Then finally, (in 2014?) the DVD was released by the Warner Archive Collection… YAY!

The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001)
Merrigan Able 4 points 3 years ago.

Have no problem watching this trilogy again and again. Saw them all when they first hit the big screen at the Vue Cinema North Finchley, London… 💯👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Ozark (2017)
Merrigan Able 5 points 3 years ago.

💯! I love Jason Bateman and I love Laura Linney, and I love this series! Just patiently waiting for more…

Reign of Fire (2002)
Merrigan Able 5 points 3 years ago.

💯The dragons in this are fantastic… (IMO) I think this film’s depiction is the best example of what dragons (wyverns?) are supposed to be like. I love everything about this movie, the cast, plot, premise… My favourite dragon flick.🐲

Scandal (1989)
Merrigan Able 3 points 3 years ago.

Excellent film, love it! 💯👍

Only Lovers Left Alive (2013)
Merrigan Able 3 points 3 years ago.

💯IMO, this is the best vampire film, made so far. It has everything that makes vampires ‘cool’. Jim nailed it, he knew what he was doing, and he cast the right (top notch) actors.
I’m with gypsy soul, I love this film too, and will watch it again and again…

The War Zone (1999)
Merrigan Able 3 points 3 years ago.

This is an extremely intense film…let’s call it a ‘black’ hidden gem. Probably not for most people’s taste, certainly not mainstream…but, it’s a great piece of work.
A directorial debut for Tim Roth, with stellar cast Tilda Swinton and Ray Winstone.
Brutally brilliant…

Captain Fantastic (2016)
Merrigan Able 3 points 3 years ago.

💯👍

Halston (2021)
Merrigan Able 4 points 2 years ago.

Ewan was quite funny as Halston, which made this watchable. The 2019 documentary, on Halston, isn’t bad either.
Just waiting for Netflix (or?) to do a mini series on Warhol. Other than documentary, don’t think Warhol has this honour yet.

Six Feet Under (2001)
Merrigan Able 4 points 3 years ago.

💯! This is the first series, in a long long while, that made me change my (at the time) bad attitude about stuff on the ‘tube’. And now that it’s here, you can binge watch it, commercial free…

Breaking Bad (2008)
Merrigan Able 3 points 3 years ago*.

💯! My personal opinion ~ THE BEST TV series off all time…It is my base, ‘high bar’ standard, that every genre (old and new) TV, will be measured by…
If you’ve not seen this yet, YOU MUST!
And happily, for those folks that are gonna see it here, you can binge watch it ‘commercial free’ ~ enjoy biotches! 😈😊

George Carlin's American Dream (2022)

~ The Mad Ness of King George Carlin ~
🍀MAY he still be resting in peace, and not rolling in his grave🍀

“I call it the freak show…
-When you’re born into this world, you’re given a ticket to the freak show.
-When you’re born in America, you’re given a front row seat”.
~ George Carlin

A superb and comprehensive bio/doc of the late great planet George.

I always thought he should have run for prez, after so many previous presidents that were bad jokes, why not give the job to a real comedian, with great jokes… 😃

Tiger (2024)
Merrigan Able 3 points 4 days ago.

Beautiful ~ Tyger Tyger ~ Still burning bright…

Percy Vs Goliath (2021)
JadeEnigma 5 points 3 years ago.

It’s definitely on my watch list. The documentary about this story (I’m sure it’s here somewhere if some kind-hearted soul will look it up for me because I’m a lazy-a**) is really something as well.

Merrigan Able 3 points 3 years ago.

Yeah, the doc was great “David vs Monsanto”. Percy is dead now, he died in 2020.

Percy Vs Goliath (2021)
Merrigan Able 3 points 3 years ago.

This looks worth watching. Walken portrays Percy Schmeiser vs Monsanto. With an internet release date of April 30 (so sayeth IMDB).

I Know My First Name is Steven (1989) S1 E1
Merrigan Able 3 points 3 years ago.

The streamtape link includes part one and two.

True Detective (2014)
guerito 4 points 3 years ago.

Season 1 is the only True Deeq

Merrigan Able 3 points 3 years ago.

I agree… After watching the first few eps of the second season, I realized the first season was a ‘one-off’. Season 1 stands alone as the only “True Detective” I needed to see…
(First season) The chemistry between McConaughey’s and Harrelson’s characters was a joy to watch!

Woodstock 99: Peace Love and Rage (2021)

Ripley (2024)
Merrigan Able 2 points 20 days ago.

John Malkovich has a ‘hat tipping’ cameo role ~ And Sting’s daughter, Eliot, plays an interesting version of the Freddie Miles character. The most recent documentary about Highsmith > is a must see, imho…

The Old Man (2022)
Merrigan Able 2 points 1 year ago.

At 72, the Dude abides… I’d watch this just for Jeff, and I’ve enjoyed it so far. The Rotties are 😎, too. Jeff has stayed married to his - one and only, wife. I like that. He’s in remission from lymphoma, I hope he stays healthy for many more years to come… 😊

Shōgun (2024)
Merrigan Able 2 points 20 days ago.

Enjoying this Japanese perspective of the excellent Clavell novel (which he based on the historic Tokugawa Ieyasu). While watching I’m constantly trying to recognize familiar locations. The majority of filming took place in Port Moody and Ucluelet, British Columbia… :}
An interesting mini doc about this series may be of interest…

The Clan of the Cave Bear (1986)

Merrigan Able 2 points 3 years ago.

There are new links with English dialogue subtitles (for Neanderthal parts only). For streaming, the streamtape and dood.watch links have selectable subs in their player settings. For downloading, only the dood.watch link keeps the subs. I tried to add a mixdrop link for this version, but the mixdrop slots are already maxed out with the Swedish subs version.

Wild Man Blues (1998)

Flesh+Blood (1985)
Merrigan Able 2 points 3 years ago.

One of my faves, love it! 💯👍

Origin (2024)
Merrigan Able 2 points 20 days ago.

Intriguing perspective on the caste system, an additional insight into the ongoing face of empire and imperialism…

Always at The Carlyle (2019)
Merrigan Able 2 points 3 years ago.

Very interesting doc! Thank you.

Knox Goes Away (2024)
Merrigan Able 2 points 20 days ago*.

Very enjoyable! Directed by and starring Michael Keaton. He @ 72 and Al Pacino @ 83, still going strong… A bit of Pacino trivia > He is one of the oldest fathers on record. He has never been married…

Out of Stock: Supply Chain Crisis (2021) S1 E1
SheWatches 1 points 2 years ago.

Very interesting. It’s a bit like what they are showing on the daily news too.

Merrigan Able 2 points 2 years ago*.

Yes, it’s also a bit like what’s actually happening in my city neighborhood.

The Gift: The Journey of Johnny Cash (2019)
WLK-MaStRKiLL3r 5 points 3 years ago.

Surperb doc! Johnny was a legend!

Merrigan Able 2 points 3 years ago.

Yes, this does look good. I’ve seen a lot of docs on Johnny, but not this one.

Better Call Saul (2015)
Merrigan Able 2 points 3 years ago.

💯! Another masterpiece created by Vince Gilligan. A spin-off prequel to his “Breaking Bad”. It tells the story of how ‘slippin’ Jimmy NcGill, becomes Saul Goodman…Binge worthy, indeed!

Bill Burr: Paper Tiger (TV Special 2019) (2019)
ac1d 2 points 3 years ago.

had no idea who this guy was but in under 3 min i have tears running down my face from laughter -gunna watch all of his i can find

Merrigan Able 2 points 3 years ago.

💯 LOL! Another hilarious ‘Bill’… I love the banter between Burr and Joe Rogan, and his appearances on Conan O’Brien. Bill also had a part in Breaking Bad, and the (current) Mandalorian. He created ‘F is for Family’. You should check out his YT podcast.
I recommend watching all of his ‘stand-up’. Burr is one of a few ~ truly funny ~ comedians.

Heavy Metal (1981)
Merrigan Able 1 points 3 years ago.

First saw this when I was a kid in summer of 81. We snuck in to the drive-in to see it (R rating and we had no car). Still my (all time) favourite animation.

The Mandalorian (2019)
Merrigan Able 1 points 3 years ago.

My Bro is a huge star wars geek, and he asked me to watch this with him. And after seeing the fantastic cast list ~ I had to agree. I mean, it even has ‘Wuhnuh’ in it! Wtf Herzog?!
We were both thoroughly entertained. Yodababy stol dis one…💖

A Ghost Story (2017)
Valkyrie -3 points 4 years ago.

slow and boring, 27min in and i cant stand it anymore, this is insanely stupid, its litterally a man whith a sheet over his head with holes cut out. then you watch his wife eat for 10 min while he just looks at her. i usually play movies while i study, but this isnt even good enough for that. 1/5

Merrigan Able 1 points 3 years ago.

LOL, I love your review, very humorous, Gave me a chuckle. So this film was another ‘flight’ of the Valkyrie, for you. heh heh 😀
