@Colonel_Mustache I actually saw "Nope" with mom in the theater. So far of the three Jordan Peele movies, we both haven't seen "Us" yet. I did rent "Get Out" on Apple TV a couple of years ago, and I re-watched that on FreeForm during their "31 Nights of Halloween" (one of two months I watch that channel along with "25 Days of Christmas").
@Colonel_Mustache Honestly, "Get Out" is the one movie that made my blood run the coldest. I'm not gonna say what point because... well you haven't seen it yet and it's a spoiler. Seriously, either give it a rent or see if it's on any of your streaming services right now.
@Kermit1 Well, it's because A: we might have thunderstorms in the coming summer, and I have to unplug everything and make sure my iPad is charged up before that happens, and B: there might be an internet outage from the company's end, so I should have something already downloaded to pass the time until either issue is resolved.
For the record, I bought all those movies on Blu-Ray and redeemed their respective digital codes.
@JadeKitsune I found Get Out to be a mix of Rosemary's Baby and The Stepford Wives (both written by Ira Levin), which is not a bad thing at all, but had a disappointing third act. However, up until that point, it was brilliantly unsettling with an unfortunately timeless premise.
Watched Bull last night, which is written and directed by the same guy who did the brilliant London To Brighton.
Neil Maskell plays against type as the hardest ***** on the planet looking for revenge. It is supremely gory and bleak, with some lovely cinematography amongst all the torture and stabbings.
Neil Maskel torturing people makes it sound a bit like Kill List (or Utopia), and it will appeal to fans of that, I think. It has that similar kitchen sink-iness to it.
Still not as callous or sordid as Get Carter - my high watermark for revenge films - but if you like that, Dead Man's Shoes, etc, you'll like this.
@Rambler That's good to hear as I've been meaning to watch Bull for a while now.
Now that you mentioned bestest revenge films I'm struggling to think to what I'd put on my list. Old Boy, Promising Young Women, The Unforgiven, Handmaiden, and Carrie are the first to come to my mind but I'm probably missing an obvious one. I will also throw in Prevenge as a wild card, I love the premise of a unborn baby inside a mother driving the Mum to kill in revenge for her dead Dad but it's an okay movie rather than amazeballs one.
@jump I would add Point Blank and The Limey to your list.
Still not seen Prevenge, but Sightseers was an absolute blast, and it's a shame that Alice Lowe and Steve Oram haven't really done anything else of note.
Puss and boots the last wish is peak dreamwroks and is the best thing I have seen from them sinceโฆ..I canโt remember, whatever the case is, this movie is just outright amazing and if you havenโt seen it yet! What the heck are you waiting for!
And even if your not big on animated films, at least give it a shot.
Nintendo are like woman, You love them for whats on the inside, not the outsideโฆyou know what I mean! Luzlane best girl!

@Snatcher Saw it for a second time tonight since they added it to Peacock, first time was the theater in late January with a friend. Honestly, I've been liking DreamWorks stuff since seeing Trolls, been watching more of their movies, they're pretty good IMHO. I also liked The Bad Guys and Spirit Untamed, I'd say Spirit Untamed is underrated.
Though Puss In Boots and Trolls World Tour have been the only DreamWorks movies I've seen in theaters, with Trolls World Tour being a special summer showing as it initially skipped theaters.
The resident Trolls superfan! Saw Trolls Band Together via early access and absolutely loved it!
