What are you watching?

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

... Vermont gets Bob Newhart, second version....
Weekend at Bernie's every 4 or 6 years, depending.

Vermont? "Bernie's" was set in the Hamptons, and filmed at Carolina Beach. It's yours, dude.

Oh. I see. Didn't catch that. :oops:
You were referring to Bernie with a !
But now that you mention it, there are some similarities to the film version Bernie.

Does North Carolina get Cold Mountain or Message in a Bottle?

Maybe both, one on the water and one in the mountains.

The movies? I've seen the first, not blown away. The latter is on TV sometimes here, but I've never watched.

Nicholas Sparks chick flick. Robin Wright is delectable and Paul Newman is worth the price of admission.

Idk, I might agree with this list that Woodstock (1970) is #1.
The 50 Best Music Documentaries of All Time

It puts The Last Waltz (1978) at #11. Too low, IMO.

Other great ones I've seen, without my trying to rank them:
3. Stop Making Sense (1984)
6. Gimme Shelter (1970)
39. Jimi Hendrix (1973)
40. Buena Vista Social Club (1999) - I'd go higher than #40.
Monterey Pop (1968) - not listed.

I'm embarrassed how many I've not seen.

If we expand beyond documentaries to "best ever music movie video," I would highly rank:
The Wall (1979)
The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975)
Purple Rain (1984)
Tommy (1975)
The Point! (1971)

Other folks? I know that I'm missing some good ones.

Likely elsewhere, too.

Disaster Artist is big time funny.

After reading the story, I wanted to see The Room first, but it is only available on DVD.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Room




https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dis ... ist_(film)

"Wiseau's 2003 film The Room, widely considered one of the worst films ever made. The Disaster Artist stars brothers James and Dave Franco as Wiseau and Sestero"
