We went to see Rogue One yesterday, and we all agreed that the ending was good, but that the movie was about an hour too long.

I heard Manchester by the Sea was excellent, so DH and I went to see it last week.

It is very heavy and sad. Not sure this would be the movie for you for today, but possibly in the future. Just giving you the heads up.

Thanks eld - I so want to see Manchester by the Sea but agree that it might not be the best choice today. Maybe later this week.

No...at the end of the movie it said that she continues to look for her son.....I looked it up online too after I watched the movie because this left me wondering if he was ever found..dead or alive. I read that he was never found. It was such a good movie it left me wanting to know more...in the movie they didn't mention the Gordon's mother helped kill these boys....that was something I found onoine too. Really a good movie, very intense, you can just feel her frustration.

Thanks earthly! We have a giant flea market nearby that always has huge selections of used DVD's and VHS movies and whenever I get there I stand there looking and thinking..."Now what was the name of that movie someone recommended?" I am going to start keeping a list in my purse and will add your two to it...they sound good! thanks...

It's not a documentary, but definitely local and personal. Anyone who knows Oakland at all will recognize a lot of locations, including the Grand Lake Theater (which was where I watched the movie).

Go see 'Sing!' Animation is not just for kids :-))

btw, I saw Manchester By the Sea and it was excellent. And it does have a pretty positive ending.

We just got back from seeing La La Land and it was amazing. I could watch it over and over again.

Well, we ended up seeing La La Land and I loved it! Our group was made up of family members from 23 to 69 and everyone liked the movie and some (like me) loved it. Thanks everyone - keep the recommendations coming. I plan to catch up on my moving going this week :)

We saw Why Him yesterday. Typical Ben Stiller humor but we thought it was hilarious.

OMG...we just saw LaLa Land & I was mesmerized! It was just such a pretty, colorful movie! Emma Stone & Ryan Gosling were just wonderful. It was one of those movies you can just feel yourself smiling while you watch. Highly recommend (although dh wasn't quite as enthusiastic as me, he enjoyed it.) More a girl movie than a boy movie. We took dd (14) but ds (17) declined, lol!

Dh and I saw Office Christmas Party last week and laughed ourselves senseless!

Nini - yes, the women in our group tended to love the movie while the men liked it. No one left disappointed or feeling "meh".

My daughter saw Manchester by the Sea and was so disturbed that she ordered a new stove for her daughter's home. LOL

Not holiday fare per se but I saw Loving a week or so ago and thought it excellent. It is a bit slow but I think it makes it seem more realistic.

Yaya - thanks for the heads up. I am going to see it this afternoon. I'll try to suppress the retail therapy urge that may result :)

I'm waiting for Lion to get here. I read the book a couple of years ago and it was one of the most riveting stories I've read--about a little boy from India who gets lost on a train, is adopted, and then works tirelessly to try to figure out who he was and where he came from. True story, and I think the author plays a role or does a cameo in the film.

Ruby, when she told me about a scene with the stove and how it alarmed her, she was making plans in her head to replace her daughters. An hour after the show the order was placed. It arrives tomorrow. She told me not to see the movie, too sad. I'm a very visual oriented person and I have trouble watching something that will stay in my mind forever so I just avoid them. On the other hand, I will see LaLa Land this week.
