  1. Agree with the first 3 choices; don’t know the last 2.

    Here’s some others I would pick:

    Oppenheimer (2023) – not the main star but still plays a great part.

    The Martian (2015) – An astronaut becomes stranded on Mars after his team assume him dead, and must rely on his ingenuity to find a way to signal to Earth that he is alive and can survive until a potential rescue. Great adventure film.

    The Departed (2006) – An undercover cop and a mole in the police attempt to identify each other while infiltrating an Irish gang in South Boston. also stars Jack Nicholson and Leonardo DiCaprio. Directed by Martin Scorsese.

    The Talented Mr Ripley (1999) – In late 1950s New York, a young underachiever named Tom Ripley is sent to Italy to retrieve Dickie Greenleaf, a rich and spoiled millionaire playboy. But when the errand fails, Ripley takes extreme measures.

    Dogma (1999) – An abortion clinic worker with a special heritage is called upon to save the existence of humanity from being negated by two renegade angels trying to exploit a loop-hole and reenter Heaven. Quirky indie film directed by Kevin Smith. Also stars Ben Affleck.

  2. I seen Oppenheimer and that is a good film, I just feel in general I can’t remember Matt Damon character as much, the rest of the films that you reccomended they all sounded different so I will look out for those films.
