Although I did try to watch 6 Underground so my Netflix choices are iffy some times.
I watched the trailer and it looked unbelievably stupid. That was enough.
If Ryan Reynolds wasn't in it, it would've gone straight to the bargain bin.

It was stupid, but was very watchable. A few reasons, but a major one being:
-
Outrage Coda - Beat Takeshi gangster film.
This is the last in the trilogy. Didn't really need to be made and its pretty shit compared to the other 2. Lots of characters without any depth. Lots of strange pacing and plot twists for no reason.
2 Underbosses our of 5 Yakuza
Bone Tomahawk
Excellent movie. It's like nothing I have seen before. It's like Unforgiven in its pacing. SLow and deliberate but without the needless sentiment or buddy film humour. This is not for everyone and there are scenes in this movie that are terrifying.
This is a 5 out of 5

@raznomore thank you for the recommendation for this. I'm a big fan of good westerns and had been looking for one recently, so I watched this yesterday after I read your review.
I have to completely agree with your review, really enjoyed it but several very tough scenes to watch including the opening scene and the "dinner prep".
For Aussie Ferners, it's showing on SBS On Demand

JUmanji: Next Level
Thought this was good, the cast all have great chemistry, just a bit of good fun, doesnt take itself too seriously.

I can't stop watching The Green Book. It is now firmly in my top 5 ever. I'm not sure what fall out. Perhaps Pump Up The Volume, purely due to age and haven't seen it in years
Just of interest what is your top 5 ?

@Hooroo I used to love Pump Up The Volume, I was renting it often so dubbed a copy, leant it to my mate, he took it away in the school holidays to his bach and it never came back. Don't think I've seen it since then.
Always interesting to see peoples top lists, none of yours would dent my top 50 I think. I haven't even seen all the Harry Potters.

Sheesh, I wasn't having a go at your list ... just remarking how we all like different stuff.

I wasn't implying you were. I just understand that true movie buffs are going to have a more in depth appreciation for some movies that I wouldn't

I can't really think of a top 5 outside of the Godfather as number one for eternity, but Platoon was on it for a long time as it was my come home drunk and watch movie, then True Romance which replaced it in that role. So not too movie snobby.

The Matrix
Raiders
Star Wars
Groundhog Day
and this spot has traditionally been Braveheart, but might be replaced by Zero Dark Thirty -

@Nepia Pulp Fiction would be up there as one of my all time favourites, and I used to watch Swingers a lot
Those would have been on my list at various times over the past 20 years.
