Seen any good movies?

The Sting is one of my favourite movies.
I usually watch whatever shows up on YTS. A few days ago I downloaded Moonlight in Vermont, a Christmas movie - usual recipe you know- but decided to download it anyway as it had thousands of seeders.
Here's what I noticed. The guy there, Carlo Marks who acts the character Derek looks very much like Logan Sharpe acted by Martin Landau in They Call Me Mr.Tibbs. The stature, smile, manner of speech, all are very much alike, at least in my eye. For a while I thought it could be Landau's grand son, but found he isn't.
 
I've been binge watching this just about every night.
I'd forgotten how much I loved it back in the 70s.
Right now I'm on season 2.
Prior to that, Meredith Baxter Birney didn't have the role as Nancy.

I do not remember Family at all.
But I do remember Smokie and the Bandit.
Netflix had it and I could not help but watch it again. Brainless humor. Sally Field and Burt both look so so young.

Just 2 days ago I watched a film in which I saw a girl who looked exactly like Sally Field. I will take a screenshot and post it when I'm on the laptop.
 
I love sports movies (except for boxing and wrestling), and just finished Varsity Blues (high school football). It's one of those movies where you jump up and cheer at the end!

Oh, and I watched Boys in the Boat recently, another good one! College crew team.

I rowed on my school crew team for 4 years. Loved it. Thanks for the reminder on Boys in a Boat. I have not caught that one yet.
I did watch a couple old Bond movies. The Spy who Loved Me, and Goldfinger.

It’s not a movie but a series on Paramount + we loved -: A Gentleman in Moscow. I’ve been meaning to buy the book and will soon.

John, on your recommendation, I'm halfway through the 8 episodes that they are rebroadcasting on Paramount +with Showtime. I am enjoying it far more than I liked listening to the audiobook. The acting is superb, making the story come alive. This 4th episode particularly was wonderful!

As much as I can recall, the series is following the book very closely.

We are getting caught up with the new episodes.
 
Season 3 of Clarkson's Farm is out. Already watched 6 episodes; in the middle of 7.
Young Sheldon is coming to an end. Only 2 more episodes to go, and it will be the end of The Big Bang Theory era.
The Grand Tour is coming to an end too. Only the very last episode is remaining.
In other words all my favourite TV shows are nearing the end. I need new replacements but hardly got any anywhere.

Well, Georgie (Sheldon's brother, who was the funniest character on the show anyway IMO) is getting a spinoff that you might want to try, Indike https://parade.com/tv/young-sheldon-georgie-mandy-spinoff-season-1

With very few exceptions, I don't watch movies a second time. Notting Hill is one of those exceptions. Saw it again a couple of days ago and I was grinning, and tearing up, and laughing all over again!

Yeah I read about it. I think it's going to focus more about Georgie becoming a rich businessman rather than anything to do with Sheldon. Waiting to see how it goes. But I think it will be funnier than Young Sheldon.
Chuck Lorre had stock jokes for all his comedies. He used the same jokes for BBT and Two and a Half Men. The new show will have some new jokes I hope.
