I'm sure there is a thread about each.

But I doubt there is a single thread regarding all 3.

Thus, this is not a re-post


Don't do movie reviews on here, but I promise I've seen as many movies as most critics...

Anyways, something about these 3 really did it for me...each in a totally different genre, but all equally compelling.

If anyone hasn't seen them, I suggest all for any type of audience....

I am biased towards true stories and also ron howard, so Rush was a no brainer....

Captain phillips somewhat resembled the truth and was great acting by forrest gump....overall like it as well

But the top choice....the best of the best.....Lone survivor.....I have to say, I watched the '60 minutes' segments prior to the film in which Marcus Latrell (the lone survivor) depicts the true events of that day(s)....it really helps put it in perspective knowing whay you learn from watching the segment....mainly, it helps anyone who maybe doesn't appreciate what the military does, to reconsider and appreciate the sacrifices men and women make everyday.....


Watch em and enjoy.

Although I've seen your 3 movies and liked all of them, I would still put them down on my list of must sees.

My top 4 would be

Nebraska
Wolf of Wall Street
American Hustle
Blue Jasmine

Saw american hustle little while back

Enjoyed it. Overall however, not as much as these 3. Not even willing to give it an 8 out of 10.

Great ensemble and overall a solid film, but was lacking something....not sure what exactly but almost like I wasn't satisfied after watching it......I suppose it could've been due to the hype and anticipating the best but didn't do it....like I said I would say its a solid film just not great....

Wolf of wallstreet I have started and stopped twice which usually never do but had problems at my office both evening I started and had to head back towards work
