To each their own. I respect your opinion.. I've been floating about the globe for maybe 3yrs now. Haven't watched a movie in a long time. But movies are great entertainment.. I like good acting & a good storyline. As far as the 'guy' thing, I do not follow the 'John Wayne stuff ', but I'll kick back on what I'd say his best performance was, "The Quiet Man". He was outstanding. When TV available, I like the foreign programming. I always watch MHZ/ Netflix when doable. The thing about foreign programming is that the acting is much better than 'what's acting' in the States. The storylines, original (from my foreign perspective), complimentary acting.. & no stupid closeup exaggerated facial expressions. & usually no commercials. Turkey & S.Korea have great drama series. Most of Europe have great TV drama programs. There are quite a few Chinese movies I like as I lived there before/ & during the covid & XiJinping shit. When of computer want, I kickback to YouTube.. foreign films. As far as 'movie familiarity' goes, in mid- Sept I revisit VietNam. I will visit Saigon & head along hwy1 towards TahNinh. It was long ago Oct'67 when I spent 2wks in CuChi, some +54yrs ago.. the opening scene, same place & time, for Oliver Stone's 'Platoon'. A flood of memories of 55yrs ago.. now from what I understand, Saigon suburbanized paved over. T.V. &/or movies become a personal adventure. One's reality does dictate.
