Lone Survivor. Brutal, but very good.
"42"
While beautifully filmed and the story is inspiring, at the margin, the feel for me was a bit too Disney-a-fied (and I know it isn't a Disney movie). Yes, there were some real and powerful moments that showed the ugly abuse Jackie Robinson faced and the strain he felt and there were some nuanced moments where some people seemed to question their existing prejudices and show some personal growth: overall, there were a few too many good versus evil / right versus wrong moments that seemed to over-simplify the story.
That said, still beautiful to watch and even in this version, the power of what happened and Jackie Robinson's dignity came through.
Prometheus, again.
Funny... I watch that too when its on. He reached far on that one.... just didn't catch the ring.

Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid (1982). An interesting experiment, but the vintage film clips feel like they were forced into the story with a crowbar and a sledgehammer; it might have been better if Reiner and Martin had just attempted a straight noir parody without that gimmick. Then again, considering some of the dialogue and sight gags, probably not.
