I've seen Watchmen on the plane, presumably this was a theatrical cut. Is the Ultimate Cut much different?

I enjoy all of these movies too and could watch them multiple times. Thanks for reminding me. I really liked Passengers, but probably b/c of JLaw
STG
Woodpecker
Interstellar
The Vikings
The Battle of the Bulge (1965)
Dirty Harry (1971)
Gladiator
Watch this clip from one of the Dirty Harry movies on the topic of feminism and gender quotas, it was ahead of its time:
The Ultimate Cut is the Director's Cut + the animated comic. It brings the movie closer to the source material but I would say that the theatrical cut I saw in the cinema is good enough.
A director's cut with 24 minutes of additional footage was released in July 2009. The "Ultimate Cut" edition incorporated the animated comic Tales of the Black Freighter into the narrative as it was in the original graphic novel, lengthening the runtime to 3 hours and 35 minutes.

The french classic from the 90s ?
Very funny, but pretty nihilistic unfortunately.
I used to love such movies when I was young.

I have two favorite movies, which in my opinion most accurately describe the truth and reality.
First is Fight Club. I reckon this is a stage many of us who have at some point in their lives called themselves red pilled have gone through (hopefully without the actual fighting). Seeing reality for what it is, being fed up with your blue pilled, meaningless normie existance, and transcending and excelling in something greater than what you portrayed yourself to be, as you always knew you had it in you. That's the perfect antithesis between Tyler Durden and his counterpart. However, as we all know, seeing the material reality clear is not sufficient, as there is a next step we have to take.
Hence I will give you a present for this Christmas: . The Life of Christ is a phenomenal, tremendous account of the gospel of John. Use this link for HD quality. It is a Mormon project, but whatever you think of Mormonism enjoy the beauty, serenity and composure and character of Christ. Although we obviously cannot make assumptions about how Christ carried himself in the world, in my view this portrayal cannot come any closer.
Have a wonderful Christmas.

No, the Richard Linklater film from 2011.
I'm not a big fan of Holywood and can't name many that have stuck in my memory. The best movies I've watched the past few decades have been foreign. For starters here's a few I can recommend.
1. Je ne suis pas là pour être aimé (not here to be loved). French
2. Zimna Wojna (Cold War). Polish
3. Das Leben der Anderen (The Lives of Others)

Das Leben der Anderen was one of the few movies that ever made me cry.
Gattaca’s soundtrack was great too. It made the movie. One of my favorites!
Ok. Never heard of it.
I have a new Christmas favorite-- saw Remember the Night again and in a new light. It's a touching film and really gives you some insight into how women were at one time. As someone older than the average RVF'er, I was able to grow up with many "Greatest Generation" types and women, at least from rural parts, were very much this way. I miss them and I miss old America.

Probably one you guys already know, but a classic (and the obvious origin of the Alien meme ;-) )
My favorite new Christmas movie this year is The Shop Around The Corner. It was a welcome change from watching It's a Wonderful Life, although Jimmy Stewart is in both movies.

Yes, the story has been redone a number of times but this one is the best of them.
Another great film I just recently became aware of is "It Happened on 5th Avenue" (1947). Funny and moving.
The 1935 Tale of Two Cities is a marvelous film, as is the Alistair Sim 1951 version of Christmas Carol (the 1938 version is good too).
Also the Blue Bird (1940). Beyond Tomorrow (1940) is an interesting old chestnut of a time gone by, with all-time great character actors like C. Aubrey Smith.
