MOVIE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR FEBRUARY 2023
Happy February! This month we thought we'd give you some 80s and 90s nostalgia. A nice selection of four films from the 80s and 90s which is sure to take you back. Enjoy!

"Jerry Maguire" (1996) Actors. Available on Amazon Prime Video and Apple TV. Also currently available on Netflix.

Written, directed, and produced by Cameron Crow (Almost Famous, Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Vanilla Sky), Jerry Maguire is based on the real-life experience of the professional sports agent Leigh Steinberg. Earning two Oscar nominations and one win for Best Actor in a Supporting Role for Cuba Gooding Jr. in 1996. Jerry Maguire is one of the greatest feel-good films of the past century; if you’re a youngster and you’ve never seen Jerry Maguire, stop what you are doing and watch it immediately!

"Road House" (1989 ) Actors. Available on Amazon Prime Video and Apple TV Also currently available on Netflix.

Road House is a popular “Surf Stopper” on cable TV. Good news, you don’t have to surf to find it anymore; it’s currently available on Netflix! Probably the last great good guys vs. bad guys gratuitous violence film of the 1980s. Think of it like an old western if it took place in the late 80s. Completely implausible but a total guilty pleasure of a film.

"Empire Records" (1995) Actors. Available on Amazon Prime Video and Apple TV. Also currently available on Hulu.

One of the last great “Teen-Angst” films of the 1990s, “Empire Records” was a sleeper hit in 1995. If you were born after 1995, chances are you may have never been to a record store. On the other hand, if you were born in the 70s or 80s, working in a record store may have been your dream job in your teens. Empire Records is a whacky dram-edy with a great cast. So if you’re looking for some 90s nostalgia, check it out.

"Top Gun" (1986 ) Actors. Available on Amazon Prime Video and Apple TV. Also currently available on Netflix.

Perhaps you’re a newbie who has never seen the first one? If you want to know Maverick’s back story, here it is. Learn about Goose, Iceman, and where Maverick’s tower buzz shenanigans originated. If you’re in your early 50s, watch for that 1980s flashback. Enjoy!

MOVIE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR JANUARY 2023
Happy New Year! Yeah, we're late again. Sorry. We hoped to start the year off right and get back on a regular schedule. Sadly we're still not quite back to normal yet. But we're getting there! So, for now, enjoy some film options. For accurate information on how to help stop the spread of Coronavirus, go HERE.

"Downton Abby: A New Era" (2022 Universal Pictures) Hugh Bonneville, Elizabeth McGovern, Michelle Dockery, Allen Leech, Maggie Smith, Penelope Wilton, Laura Carmichael, Jim Carter, Phyllis Logan, Robert James-Collier, Brendan Coyle, Joanne Froggatt, Lesley Nicol, Kevin Doyle, Sophie McShera, Michael Fox. Available on Amazon Prime Video and Apple TV.

For fans of the Masterpiece series, this second feature film was a pleasant surprise in late 2022. This second Downton Abby feature film takes place in 1928, finding many life changes for the main characters. If you're a fan and haven't yet seen "Downton Abby: A New Era," we don't want to give you any spoilers. We'll say we liked it.

"THE BURBS" (1989 Imagine Entertainment) Tom Hanks, Carrie Fisher, Bruce Dern, Rick Ducommun, Corey Feldman, Wendy Schaal, Henry Gibson, Theodore Gottlieb, Courtney Gains. Available on Amazon Prime Video. Also currently available on Netflix.

We love "The Burbs." We consider this film to be a "Surf Stopper!" (If you are "channel surfing" and find it, stop surfing and watch!) Featuring a nearly all-star cast, this comedy about the antics of crazy neighbors will have you laughing out loud from start to finish. So trust us, if you've never seen The Burbs, check it out immediately!

"Wedding Crashers" (2005 Nine Line Cinema) Owen Wilson, Vince Vaughn, Rachel McAdams, Isla Fisher, Christopher Walken, Bradley Cooper, Jane Seymour, Ellen Albertini Dow, Keir O’Donnell. Available on Amazon Prime Video and Apple TV. Also currently available on Netflix.

Featuring a nearly all-star cast, Wedding Crashers can be moved into the "Modern Classics" category. But it's a rom-com for ages, really. Have you ever wanted to crash a wedding? Or perhaps you already have? Wedding Crashers can provide you with some great tips if you ever choose to risk it.

"The Family" (2013 EuropaCorp) Robert De Niro, Michelle Pfeiffer, Tommy Lee Jones, Dianna Aaron, John D’Leo, Jimmy Palumbo, Domenick Lombardozzi, Stan Carp, Vincent Pastore, Jon Freda. Available on Amazon Prime Video and Apple TV. Also currently available on Showtime.

The Family is a fantastic hidden gem from 2013 and is the perfect blend of action and comedy. A mob family on the lamb hiding out in France. You couldn't ask for a better comedy setup—great performances from Michelle Pfeiffer, Robert De Niro, and Tommy Lee Jones.
