I watched that movie a while ago and enjoyed it very much. I like a lot of Queen's music but I didn't know anything about Freddie Mercury. It was interesting and sad.
I've just started watching the 2026 Netflix adaptation of The Lord of the Flies. I can't review it yet because I have only watched the first few minutes of the first episode.

We watched the new Jack Ryan movie last night,"Ghost War". It was ok but not as good as the series. So now back to watching "Hart of Dixie" series because I can't find anything else right now.

My husband has been glued to the old HBO series, "Band of Brothers." I believe it was originally broadcast in 2001 or so; there are 10 episodes. He is a huge fan of war movies, particularly WWII.
"This series, originally broadcast on HBO, tells the story of Easy Company, 506th Regiment of the 101st Airborne Division, U.S. Army. Based on interviews with survivors of Easy Company, as well as soldiers' journals and letters, this 10-part series chronicles the experiences of these young men who knew extraordinary bravery and extraordinary fear. Based on the book written by Stephen Ambrose."

Band of Brothers was good. I can't say that I remember much about it except that I liked it, though.

I hadn't realized it was based on actual events.

You would enjoy it if only for the music, Marie. Rami Malek did an excellent job as Freddie Mercury.
I just started binge-watching the original Maverick TV series (1957-1962), with Bret (James Garner), Bart (Jack Kelly), Beau (Roger Moore), and Brent (Robert Colbert).
I have, of course, seen them all before, more than once, but it's been a while. It has always been a favorite and particularly interesting, given the alternating characters. It ranks high among the TV series that I've seen.
It began with Bret; Bart didn't appear until episode 8 of the first season. Then the two of them sometimes appeared singly and sometimes together. Beau and Brent didn't show up until the fourth season, after Bret and Bart left, although Brent was in only a few episodes.
When I finish the original series, if I can find them, I'll watch Bret Maverick (1981), Young Maverick (1979), and The New Maverick (1978).
One that I haven't see, but which looks interesting, is The Gambler Returns: The Luck of the Draw (1991), which isn't a Maverick movie, although it includes a cameo by Jack Kelly as Bart Maverick, along with Gene Barry as Bat Masterson, Hugh O'Brian as Wyatt Earp, Chuck Connors as the Rifleman, Johhny Crawford as Mark Connors, David Carradine as Caine from Kung Fu, Brian Keith from the Westerner, and Clint Walker as Chyeenne Bodie.

There are long stretches of time where Mark, will drive me nuts watching things he has seen at least 35 times. Such as today again Rio Bravo,and numerous others,. He lives and loves the past more than anything present .
By the time I get it the bedroom to watch what I want,I normally watch some series vs movies.
Right now re watching reruns of Sheriff,
