I've seen A Most Volent Year, Inside Llewyn Davis and Boondock Saints from your list.
I'd say Violent was the best, while Isaac did a good job in Davis. Boondock Saints, I haven't seen in a long time.
So I sat around and watched a bunch of movies on Amazon Prime this weekend.
Bone Tomahawk - even though it only got modest reviews, I really enjoyed this movie. Pretty good western. 7.5/10
A Most Violent Year - sort of a gangster movie set in 1980's New York. Thought it was really good. Oscar Isaac was great in it. 8/10
Inside Llewyn Davis- All I ever heard was how good a movie this was. Cohen Brothers. I was surprised that Isaac was the lead in this as well. It had it's momements. "Where is the scrotum Llewyn?".
But in the end, I thought it was pretty boring. 5/10
The Gift - Pretty good suspense with nice twist at the end. I think someone recommended on ST somewhere. 7/10
Boondock Saints - I couldn't get in to this and fell asleep. Thought it was supposed to be a gritty Irish gangster film but it seemed like it was trying to be too funny. From the hour I saw, it's a piece of crap. 3/10

I think with Boondock, it's a case of it not aging well. I see that it came out in the late 90's. So maybe had too much Tarantino influence without the great dialog. As Thread would say, it was "unbearable".
I binge watched the first three Indiana Jones flicks on amazon. Good god Temple of Doom was awful
Agreed. I never got into the Indiana Jones hoopla.
Actually The Last Crusade was a fun popcorn flick tbh
"The Birdcage"
The first three Jones movies hold nostalgia for me. They are cheesy as , but being a kid when they all came out will always give them a place on my list of favorites.
You betrayed Shiva!
I liked all 3 of them tbh...TOD is always panned by critics and fans, but I think a lot of that has to do with the absence of Nazi boogeymen
I saw La La Land over the weekend. While it was a little too wistful for most of the movie, it's intoxicatingly cinematic and worth a watch overall. A throwback to the old school of movie making, and captures a lot of magic. Plus there's some snippets of good Jazz in it.

Yeah dude it was super rough watching Emma Stone be attractive for 2 hours and listening to jazz.
Haven't seen it, but La La Land just seems like a big Hollywood/California circle jerk. Nothing Hollywood types love more than reminding everyone of just how great they are.
Yep, it has not aged well. It slows down and drags at times till you want to pull your hair out. And at others it is bright with a nice breath of clarity. That's mostly in the first 1/3. After that the auger in commences and it never recovers. Watching it NOW is almost embarrassing.
Agree with the nostalgia.
I recently watched all three as well. TOD is my favorite, not because it's the best, but I was at that perfect age as a kid where the movie was magic and that adventure was something I wish I could have.
I just watched TLC this weekend and thought the exact same thing, man this is a popcorn flick. But still as fun as I remember.
KOTCS is just an outright piece of and I mentally removed from the series.
What do you want us to do, Mono, beg for you to have another call in show? Is that what it is?
Get up off your ass, you prima donna bas and set it up. I'm home alone and I can do it now.
Yeah dude it was super rough watching Emma Stone be attractive for 2 hours and listening to jazz.
Don't care how she looks with all the glam on, her voice is the thing of nightmares. Could she at least cut back to two packs a day? Her vocal chords should be rubbed down with cocoa butter, they sound that ing ashy. Ugh. Couldn't have sex with a broad who's moaning would sound like hyena rape.Yeah dude it was super rough watching Emma Stone be attractive for 2 hours and listening to jazz.
We got really high one night and watched it and must have laughed at that scene for 20 minutes.
Temple of Doom is my favorite in the series, damn I love that movie. So many iconic shots, Spielberg shot the out of that one, too bad he's disowned it because ofracism.
Lucas was overcoming a divorce and getting cucked, so its a darker film. I always liked it was a prequel, showing Jones as more of an asshole.
The chick in TOD was annoying. I was hoping she'd get shot in the first few minutes
Weee are goinng to DIE
Nah, it was terrible back then as well.
I think it has more to do with the woman and the kid in TOD being so annoying. Well, that's how I remember it, anyway. Haven't seen it in a long time.
C'mon...short-round was alright
Kate Capshaw was meh, don't understand her casting...maybe Spielberg was a willing cuck
