Watched SNIPER:THE WHITE RAVEN very realistic and I really enjoyed it but has subtitles but didn't bother me that much.

After suffering a senseless tragedy at the hand of invading soldiers in the Donbas region in 2014, a former Ukrainian physics teacher renounces his peaceful way of life and seeks revenge. Upon joining the military and earning a coveted spot as a sniper, he sets his sights on an elite Russian sniper whose elimination could change the tide of the conflict.


 
I wanted to watch this for a while because I love war movies and gold prospecting :LOL: I really enjoyed it.

During the last desperate days of WWII, a solitary prospector (Jorma Tommila) crosses paths with Nazis on a scorched-earth retreat in northern Finland. When the Nazis steal his gold, they quickly discover that they have just tangled with no ordinary miner. While there is no direct translation for the Finnish word “sisu”, this legendary ex-commando will embody what sisu means: a white-knuckled form of courage and unimaginable determination in the face of overwhelming odds. And no matter what the Nazis throw at him, the one-man death squad will go to outrageous lengths to get his gold back – even if it means killing every last Nazi in his path.

My wife and I really enjoy films that many would consider bad. We're watching Cade: The Tortured Crossing tonight which is a film by the director Niel Breen. Niel is a really interesting person and learning about him and his film career is an adventure in and of itself that I won't get into here unless you all are interested.
We enjoy his content for the wrong reasons and if you enjoy small time movies who's errors only serve to make them more entertaining, you can't do better than Niel Breen. Best to watch with a friend so you can crack jokes and laugh all the while.
 
Day of the Outlaw (1959)
I am going to watch the original black/white on DVD but there is a colorized version freely available online.

This is the Italian movie poster, which is almost always better looking than the others.
 
Save The Tiger (1973)
That opening frame with Lemmon rolling around his eye had me questioning it, but then it quickly hooked me. The whole opening bedroom sequence was amazing. A movie like this would never be made today, but even a scene like that, though feeling familiar for the time, isn't something they'd bother with now either. I love patient character studies. A pretty dark movie for Jack Gilford's involvement too. I don't watch movies from that era much. The reminder of how grimy and gritty film production was is great and had me wanting to follow it with a music that feels urbanly filthy.

free streaming on Pluto, for those interested.
