Jungle Cruise (2021), courtesy Disney+. One of my kids bought it, so we passed an evening chuckling at the jokes about the ride, at the Prince's off-center humor, and enjoyed the remarkable backstory.- Julian Shellhammer

On Thursday, it was Gun Crazy (1950), and last night it was Operation Mad Ball (1957). The Missus sort of remembered seeing Gun Crazy, but watched it again.

The FBI Story (1959) with James Stewart and Vera Miles. The history of the FBI as seen through the eyes of Agent Hardesty and his wife Lucy Ann.
