I just watched "Ordinary Angels" which stars Alan Ritchson in a role miles different from Reacher. It is a true story that takes place in 1993 early 94. Ritchson is a widower who just lost his wife to cancer and has a young daughter who needs a liver transplant. A troubled hairdresser learns of his troubles and vows to help. It is a heartwarming Hallmark type movie and I liked it a lot. On Netflix.
 
Sleeping With the Enemy starring Julia roberts.

I enjoyed watching it again and the scenes filmed in North Carolina are spectacular.
Good movie!
I watched one of my favorites, Nobody’s Fool, starring Paul Newman, Bruce Willis and Melanie Griffith. I love the gentle pace of this movie. It’s good storytelling, and it’s well acted.
 
We don't watch too many movies anymore. I used to watch 100-200 a year, which now seems as incomprehensible as eating 100 pounds of tofu. I often enjoy the historical experience of watching older movies, so we watched "Ninotchka" from 1939 a few days ago. It's a comedy based on Russian communists visiting the US. It contains some obvious propaganda from the era, though some of it wasn't too exaggerated since it was during Stalin's reign. Greta Garbo played a fantastic communist zealot until "love" turned her into "a real American woman" of the day. That part was a little disappointing, but it fit the times. She was overall fantastic in the picture, which was written by Billy Wilder. It was overall a fun movie, but probably only recommended for those who like to consume older films.
