Recommended Movies from one Middle-aged Man to Another

How often do you go back and ask yourself, “What was the name of that movie?”.  Here is my list of recommended movies from one middle-aged guy to another middle-aged guy. If you are looking for a great date night movie or just to get an idea of what you may have missed from the box office, give my list a look.  After all, you may be surprised by the number of great movies out there that you have never heard of.

I admit, this list is a bit eclectic, and please do not use it as a baring of who I am, or my intellect, however, a good movie, or in some cases, not so good movie, are great ways to take a break from life.  This list is a combination of movie theater visits, Netflix streams, On Demand Rentals, basically, you name it.

Enjoy!
