Saw Juror#2 on Max. If the year was 1996, I think this would be nominated for Best Picture. Now, it's just this left for dead movie which got a half-assed release, and will just lurk on Max for perpetuity. Pretty good, though.

It is! I think it's my favorite Eastwood movie since ... American Sniper?

This might be my favorite top ten list I’ve seen so far!

Great list. I’m impressed with how you manage to watch so many considering all the sports you cover and your writing career and, of course, family. How do you do it?

The trick is never getting around to watching a single television show. I'm still hoping to catch up on The Wire someday.

Surprised "Hit Man" didn't make your list. Glen Powell, who made Vanity Fair's Hollywood issue, and Adria Arjona are a perfect screen couple. Can't wait to see him in "The Running Man" remake.

I'm looking forward to "Nickel Boys." I saw RaMell Ross' documentary "Hale County This Morning, This Evening" a while back, not expecting much, and was startled by how much he made me feel about the people, even though, story-wise, nothing much happened.

I'm embarrassed to say I haven't seen it. But I obviously will soon.

Hmm....you didn't mention "Conclave" at all. I haven't seen it yet, but it seems like it has gotten good reviews. I'll probably watch it over the holidays on Peacock. Not tonight though, too much football to keep up with.

It's fine! It's fun! A fun little airport-thriller potboiler. Maybe a little too silly for me to get in the top 26 though ...

Conclave was phenomenal! It's available on Peacock now.
