Richard Jewell, by Clint Eastwood. Loved it. Remarkable story and my found myself frequently yelling at the hero.

Good to hear that Clint's got something left in the tank. His last few years have been forgettable.
Have you seen JSA (Joint Security Area)? One of the best stories of male friendship put to film.For those who want more K-Flicks, here's a starter. Be warned, many of these are very art-house.
Classics of modern South Korean cinema – ranked!
Global interest in Korean film has been piqued by Bong Joon-ho’s satirical Parasite, which has won the Palme d’Or and best picture at the Oscars. Here are 19 more Korean masterpieceswww.theguardian.com
If you want more accessible, try:
Thrillers/Gangster
Old Boy
The Chaser
Yellow Sea
Bittersweet Life
Miracle in Cell No. 7
The Host is Bong's creature flick - but it's great. Similar themes of family emerge.
One of the things I like about Korean movies is they will kill off major characters that you love, just because.
The Mule had the feel of a made-for-TV movie. Not awful, not memorable. American Sniper (2014) was the last above average thing he made.
15:17 is a good story. Odd though to use the protagonists in the lead roles. Didn’t work for me.
The mule was evidence to me that his days in front of the camera had passed.
Open Water 1, 2 & 3. First is a very good low-budget film with an unsettling ending; the other two are forgettable.
Serves you right for watching all three back to back.
They're short movies.
Also saw Ford v Ferrari. Enjoyable and had me looking up more details of the characters.
Godfather Parts 1, 2 and 3, the next 3 nights on SBS World Movies beginning @9.45pm tonight.
Yeah, tonight and tomorrow sound good, I’ll pass on Thursday night though.
OK - with no footy and in lock-down thought I'd watch some movies
Upgrade - Very good - enjoyed it
Parasite - can see why it won so many awards
Ad Astra - meh - fell asleep.
1917 - OK - bit overhyped
The Hunt - oh dear - don't waste your time
Bloodshot - Not bad scifi action flick
Hate wasting 1.5 to 2 hours watching a *smile* movie.
Anyone recommend any good movies I can kill some boredom with?

It's divisive. So much so that I still don't know whether I love it or loathe it.
Anyway, probably only works for fans of the film but here's Memento, re-cut in chronological order.
I still say Memento is Nolan's best film. It's perfect. And so many people still don't get it.
