Recommend a (recent) good movie

[megaroo64]

Not really a thinker - but I watched "The Other Women" on HBO the other night - it was cute.

Another vote for Blended. Also Gone Girl is pretty damn good.

Gone Girl is crazy good! Grand Budapest Hotel is entertaining and has a ton of good actors in it. Monuments Men is the best movie I've seen in probably 2 yrs.

The imitation game

So recent movies I have liked:

August Osage County

This is Where I Leave You

Divergent

[ciahanna]

I second Monuments Men. In line with that Lone Survivor was good but tough to watch. So was American Sniper if you want a date night movie. I've heard Into the Woods is good too. I haven't seen very many lately either!

[sctiger]

We really liked The Fault in our Stars. I usually read the book first but I rented this on a whim and enjoyed it.

Imitation Game
Theory of Everything
Guardians of the Galaxy was pretty damn entertaining.

[coffeebeanfiend]

The Grand Budapest Hotel is a recent favorite and this is where I leave you was really good

Fun fact about that movie- our neighbor kid is in it!! I haven't seen the movie so I can't be more specific- but he is a little chubby boy that is all kinds of adorable!

I'm glad to hear that This is Where I leave you is good- just finished the book and liked it so I was hoping the movie would hold up.

I second Guardians of the Galaxy and Lego Movie. I saw Into the Woods but didn't like it very much, sadly. I thought it was too long.

This thread makes me feel like such a 'mom.' The most recent movie I saw was Inception. That's only what? Five years behind the times.

"Birdman" and "Wild" are fantastic. I don't know if it's because they both tugged at me on a personal level, but they are just great films.

Yeah I liked the other woman. If you're looking for on demand movies the new planet of the apes was really good. I haven't gone to see the movies for a while. hoping soon!

Don't watch if you've recently gone through a divorce with a cheating spouse. Lol

I liked it, but the part on the beach had me in tears.

[phishgirl]

This is Where I leave you was a very funny book. The movies wasn't as enjoyable sadly.

[asmallwonder]

I liked This is Where I Leave You and didn't know it was a book. Now I'm wondering if I should read it. Gone Girl was good but, as is usually the case I think, the book was better. I just watched Divergent but not even on purpose. Same thing happened to me that happened when DH was watching The Hunger Games. I wasn't watching but was in the room on the computer and somehow became engrossed. Apparently I like young adult, dystopian shit. Never would have guessed lol

[lingeringwithcoffee]

Monuments Men was good. We have the Lego Movie and The Grand Budapest Hotel recorded, so I'm now even more anxious to watch them.

The most recent movie we saw in theaters was Unbroken. It was good, but not nearly as good as the book.

Saw Grand Budapest Hotel on Friday night (yay Netflix!). I liked it, but the spouse did not, probably skippable if you haven't enjoyed previous Wes Anderson work.
