@jegga based on his memoirs, so be like one of us telling our life story of all the models we banged and how we just missed being an AB great
Although Charrière always maintained, until his death in 1973, that events in the book were truthful and accurate (allowing for minor lapses in memory), since the book's publication there have been questions raised about its accuracy. The authenticity of the book was challenged most notably by French journalist Gerard de Villiers, author of Papillon Épinglé (Butterfly Pinned), who stated that "only about 10 percent of Charrière's book represents the truth".

Outlaw King - is “watchable” a compliment? Was saved by a very nice pair of tits and a GoT copy battle scene.
With the ease in which we can access tits on the interweb this is hardly a selling point.
The owner of said tits has a couple of points that may persuade you to have a look.

Or a time we have breakfast with Liam Squire, Jerome Kaino and I forget the others.

The Meg - Jaws on roids. Go in with low expectations.

Equaliser 2 - good, but not as good as the first one.
3.5 shoulda crushed his skull moments out of 5 dudes that mess with the wrong dude.

My favourite is Glory road although its a bit Bohemian Rhapsody with the facts in places.

The Old Man and the Gun. Robert Redford's last film as an actor. He plays an ageing bank robber in the late 70s/early 80s. This was an ok film, maybe even good, but it was a bit whimsical and narratively rambling.
However, one warning, it is deliberately filmed on old grainy film stock (which piston wristed gibbon critics call beautiful, but which I call crappy old shit) which is like watching a 480p download on a 60" TV. I actually started feeling sick watching it because I was too close to the screen and had to move right back.

They Shall Not Grow Old
Peter Jackson's homage to his grandfather and to commemorate the centennial of the end of WWI. Amazing footage of war on the Western Front brought to life in colour. Sombre, emotional and a fitting tribute to those that fought in such miserable conditions.
