I don't go out to the picture show much anymore. So, the tube is the theater nowadays. God there's a lot of contemporary and older crap to choose from.
One I like though I watched again is called Drive with Ryan Gosling. He's a stunt driver in the movies that moonlights as a getaway driver for the criminally inclined. He gets in Dutch with the mafia trying to help out his neighbor lady's husband pay off a protection loan while he was in prison. He's also in love with the neighbor lady.
Ryan doesn't use many words in this tale, but he has principals when the crap hits the fan with a botched heist he uses his driving skills for.
Anyway, a good crime/tragic love genre movie. Not a lot of dialogue, but the action is hard hitting and believable. And the story line is tight and right.

Good pick, Rusty. I'll catch that this weekend. It gives me something to do beside hate-watch Love Island, which I'm pretty sure is rotting my brain.
Have you seen Knives Out? The show is part mystery, part thriller, that's filled with an all-star cast and plenty of comedic flair. If you have Amazon Prime, you can watch there for free as part of your membership.

That's a fine cast for that one strum drum. Looks to be a classic whodunit. Worth checking out. Thanks.
One other movie I reference for unusual quality is Angel Heart. A late 80's film with Mickey Rourke and Robert De Niro. Elements of detective gum shoe, (Rourke) and supernatural, (De Niro) play out with grizzly deaths and final reckoning. One of Rourke's best films I think. He's done a lot of clunkers too over the years. But when he puts his usual seamy side talents to work in earnest. He's a true star. De Niro pert near always.
