I’m really not up with movies lately as I’ve not heard of most of these. 😉
Before kids we used to go to the movies all of the time but not so much lately x x
You are so talking my language here. Huge johnny Depp fan so I’m in for at least 2 of your 5 movies.
Although I am not a movie watcher (at all), you have a great round-up here. I did see Black Mass but wasnt too impressed with it, having lived in Boston for years.
Love all these movies! Blow was probably my last favorite Johnny Depp film. It’s always fun to watch bad guys.
Not my genre but you did a great job of selling it! I am interested in any “true crime” type of stories but usually find them too graphic.
These are totally some of my favorite movies of all times. Would you believe that I only started watching Breaking Bad a week ago? I’m already on season three, but still…. It took me all this time.
I have not heard of these movies before. Looks like I will be checking them out on netflix soon.
I hate to admit it, but I haven’t seen any of these movies! Awful, right? Adding them to my bucket list.
It’s been a while since I last watched a movie like this and it would be so nice to plan a movie night for these movies on the list! I honestly haven’t seen the trailer for Infiltrator, it’s a pretty interesting film!
They are all great movies. I would say Blow definitely tops the list for me.
I’ve not really heard of any of these. Some of them look awesome! I want to see Snitch with the Rock!
How is it possible that I haven’t seen any of these! I’m definitely going to have a movie night and watch one soon!
Hmmm…I’ve never heard of any of these movies. Paradise Lost and Blow sound enjoyable though.
Snitch was a good one and Blow was great. I need to catch the other ones and see if I like them. I love a good movie marathon.
I am definitely more of a romantic comedy type of movie watcher 🙂 However, right now, we are just about only watching Disney movies! I think my husband would love any of these though.
This is a great list of films. I’ve been trying to line up all the movies I want to watch so I can prioritize watching them every weekend when I am off from work.
I’m a drama and romantic movie kind of gal, but I’m sure this list is super helpful to others 🙂
I feel so out of the loop! I have not seen nor heard of most of these movies. Maybe I need to venture past chick flicks, and love stories.
I have been looking for new movies lately to watch and I don’t think I have seen any of these. I definitely need to look them up.
