just kidding, I totally get the feeling, even if we aren't exactly fans of this Fincher work. Honestly, I'd rather go back to when I sat in a theater and watched "Gladiator"... man, what a two-and-a-half-hour cinematic ride.
But I get why people flip the channel, they've seen it a million times already (though personally, I always get glued to the screen like it's my job).

"Gladiator" and literally every single movie starring Russell could be on repeat for me every single day.😁😁😁

I don't think I could ever sit through Million Dollar Girl again—honestly, I don't think many movies have left me feeling quite that depressed. No way, once was more than enough for me.
By the way, I found The Hunter pretty tedious... I didn't even finish it, though that was probably like twenty years ago. Maybe if I gave it another shot today, I'd actually stick it out...

As for Forrest Gump—I stumbled upon it recently and watched a little bit just to see if it would land better with me now that I'm older, but nope... not really...🙄
Just pure boredom. How did I even make it through the theater?
🙂
Speaking of Tom Hanks, does anyone else remember Philadelphia? It’s okay, I guess, it passes... but I will never understand how that Hanks guy snagged an Oscar for it. Especially since he beat out Daniel Day-Lewis for his role in In the Name of the Father... which is a movie I actually *would* happily watch over and over again...🙏

Thanks so much for all the answers. ...
Sorry about any mistakes in my post or if I didn't use your specific wording. It's actually pretty tough for me to write, and I probably have tons of errors from trying to structure things the way we do back home... it's just how I phrase things. Still, I'm not giving up! I really hope you can still make sense of what I'm saying? Thanks again for the replies, and sending big greetings from America!

Your American is coming along great, respect! 🙏
If only I could speak American half as well as you...😁
I wasn't quite sure which movie you watched—was it Glembaj or How the War Started on My Island?

I’d definitely recommend "What it means to be a man without a mustache"—it's such a light, fun comedy.
As far as the classics go, maybe Cyclops?

Write back and let me know everything you've seen, maybe something else will pop into my head...

By the way, where are you watching these? Do you rent them from a video store or something? 😕

I'd also suggest "The Cashier Wants to Go to the Beach"—it's nothing fancy, but it's a decent comedy.
From the old school era of Former Yugoslavia—maybe "Štefica Cvek in the Rat Race"?

I mean, those smoggy city folks are basically just a different dialect, I guess...🤷
But whatever.

If you're looking for a series to binge, I'd definitely suggest "Where to go wild boar" 👍

If we're talking about someone from out of town trying to wrap their head around the American dialect, it’s probably a bad move to suggest a movie packed with heavy regional slang, right?
I was thinking... isn't "How to Start a War on My Island" kind of like that? Or am I totally off base? It’s been forever since I watched it, but I have this feeling there's a ton of thick Southern drawl in there...

Personally, I’d point them toward the Glembayevs 👍
