The Brawler
Chuck Wepner, basically a nobody, gets a shot at Ali, who was currently the heavyweight champ, in 1975.
Aside from Zack McGowan, who portrayed Wepner, the acting was PUTRID. McGowan did awesome, reminded me a lot of Liev Schreiber. The story was good, made you feel for Wepner yet be disappointed in him as well. It definitely connected you with the person. It's worth a look-see, I suppose, just for the story.
Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

Gilda:
A small-time gambler hired to work in a Buenos Aires casino learns that his ex-lover is married to his employer.
Rita Hayworth (obligatory hummina hummina hummina) plays her part to perfection. I really dug this movie. Deceit, love, subplots...highly recommend.

You guys need to add the platform on which you viewed
Mine is always Netflix, although some of it is streaming, some of it is disc. Gilda was on disc.

12 Angry Men is a rare classic that gets even better when viewed through a 21st century lens. Most movies lose a bit of their shine in modern context, particularly when you consider the sexual norms of the day (Connery Bond forcing himself on anything in a skirt, for instance).

Tying in with the baseball thread:
Juror #7: You a Yankee fan?
Juror #5: No, Baltimore.
Juror #7: Baltimore? That's like being hit in the head with a crowbar once a day.
Speaking as someone who likes all the Terminator films in some capacity (and obviously to various levels) this looks good. I think people need to calm down about how this looks so much better than the other films based on this trailer...it looks exactly like them outside of having Hamilton in it and Cameron listed as producer.
I am in for it.
