  1. Great selections there Mark. Some of them we saw together. I can add three more:
    Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom – about a blues singer so might not be for you
    Mank – another Gary Oldman triumph
    Tenet – can’t leave out Christopher Nolan

    Liked by 1 person

  2. We have seen brilliant films together and I haven’t thought of Tenet, as that is thought provoking and it made you think. That Gary Oldman film sounded really different and Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom could be really intriguing.
