Black Panther. Fucking awesome movie. More than just a great action or superhero film. It also was filled with symbolism about contemporary struggles and had a compelling message. Up there with Thor Ragnarok as my favorite MCU movies.
I'm so ashamed I still haven't seen this movie.
Technically. "The Wizard of Oz." Because my local theater shows classic movies two nights a week, and that's what was showing after the wife and I went to see "Black Panther" and she insisted we stay for it.
Panther more than lived up to its hype. I can see why the racists and the MRA-boys are losing their shit over it.
Oz... is a beautiful movie with one of the worst moral lessons EVER. Glinda is such a bitch.

do DVDs count? In that case it was The Merry Wives Of Windsor in a production of the London Globe Theatre. Love it! =) Excellent actors and due to the unusual structure of the theatre, the audience participates rather actively in the play which seems to be a lot of fun for both sides. Next time I come to London I must try to get a ticket =)
The last thing I saw in cinema was The Muppet's Christmas Carol *blush* It's been a while...

Is this the speech in the film? If it is, I have a major problem with Old man's inflection, based on the previews.
Black Panther! 10/10
Er, I fail to see what Iron Maiden has to do with it (much as I love the band), but yeah, it's a bit slurred. If you've ever heard a recording of Churchill speaking, he had a bit of a lisp. I think Oldman had it down pat. Maybe you need to wait until you can get it on DVD, blu-ray or any streaming service you may subscribe to and can watch it with subtitles for the hearing impaired.
Er, it's just that I've heard that speech on that song thousands of times (it's Churchill speaking) due to listening to that song and the inflection of "We shall never surrender!" in Oldman's speech excerpt from the preview is COMPLETELY different. I'm sure people in GB have heard that speech more times than we've heard King's "I have a dream" speech here in the US.
I have no issue with Oldman's voice sounding a little different, but the inflection--where he places his syllabic emphasis--that Churchill used is nowhere to be found in that particular (rather important) statement in the preview I saw on TV.
My post had nothing to do with Iron Maiden. It had everything to do with Churchill's speech in the intro.
Admittedly I didn't click on the video you posted and while I like IM, I didn't remember Churchill's speech at the start of Aces High... My bad.
Sure, Oldman's inflection is different, but he gets the slurring down pat. Both sound like they're drunk, which in Churchill's case may well have been true. He reputedly had a glass of whisky at breakfast, a bottle of champagne at lunch and another at dinner, and who knows how many glasses after that. Yet he was an inspiration to a generation of Britons and their allies, and deservedly so.
I'm sure it's a great and inspiring movie, and I'm sure that Oldman's performance is worthy of his Golden Globe...I just cringed at that one part of the preview. I'll most likely see the movie at some point, though I rarely see movies, however, even I knew that that particular statement, "We shall never surrender!" was totally different from Churchill's. Hate to say, but it took me right out of it after hearing Churchill, himself, exclaim it so many times.

Watched a documentary last night called Sour Grapes. Really interesting story about a guy who forged rare bottles of wine and ripped off a bunch of billionaires.
I watched "In the Line of Fire" again on Hulu. A pretty good and overlooked Clint Eastwood movie. Eastwood is good as always as his being the angry hard nosed guy. This is the movie were I first noticed John Malkovich when I was younger. Plus I think this is the first time I saw it in 1800 vision or whatever you call it because it looked really great.
