"Once Upon a Time in America". Excellent movie., the full 4-hour original European directors' version is on Netflix.

Once Upon a Time in America ([Italian]('https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italian_language'): C'era una volta in America) is a 1984 [epic]('https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epic_film') [crime film]('https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crime_film') co-written and directed by Italian filmmaker [Sergio Leone]('https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sergio_Leone') and starring [Robert De Niro]('https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_De_Niro') and [James Woods]('https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Woods'). The film is an Italian–American[[3]]('https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Once_Upon_a_Time_in_America#cite_note-lum-3') venture produced by [The Ladd Company]('https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Ladd_Company'), [Embassy International Pictures]('https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regency_Enterprises'), [PSO Enterprises]('https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Producers_Sales_Organization'), and Rafran Cinematografica, and distributed by [Warner Bros.]('https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warner_Bros.') Based on [Harry Grey]('https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_Grey')'s novel The Hoods, it chronicles the lives of best friends [David "Noodles" Aaronson]('https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_%22Noodles%22_Aaronson') and Maximilian "Max" Bercovicz as they lead a group of [Jewish]('https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish') [ghetto]('https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghetto') youths who rise to prominence as [Jewish gangsters]('https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish-American_organized_crime') in [New York City]('https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_City')'s world of [organized crime]('https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organized_crime'). The film explores themes of childhood friendships, love, lust, greed, betrayal, loss, broken relationships, together with the rise of [mobsters]('https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobster') in American society.

It was the final film directed by Leone before his death five years later, and the first feature film he had directed in 13 years. It is also the third film of Leone's Once Upon a Time Trilogy, which includes [Once Upon a Time in the West]('https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Once_Upon_a_Time_in_the_West') (1968) and [Duck, You Sucker!]('https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duck,_You_Sucker!') (1971).[[5]]('https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Once_Upon_a_Time_in_America#cite_note-5') The cinematography was by [Tonino Delli Colli]('https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tonino_Delli_Colli'), and the film score by [Ennio Morricone]('https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ennio_Morricone'). Leone originally envisaged two three-hour films, then a single 269-minute (4 hours and 29 minutes) version, but was convinced by distributors to shorten it to 229 minutes (3 hours and 49 minutes). The American distributors, The Ladd Company, further shortened it to 139 minutes (2 hours and 19 minutes), and rearranged the scenes into chronological order, without Leone's involvement.

The shortened version was a critical and commercial flop in the United States, and critics who had seen both versions harshly condemned the changes that were made. The original "European cut" has remained a critical favorite and frequently appears in lists of the [greatest films of all time]('https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_films_considered_the_best'), especially in the gangster genre.

**Ex-Machina
2014**

Highly recommend. Cought it at midnight last night on cable (i think HBO). Came out in 2014 and was not a hit at the box office...this is definitely one to watch. Intersection of humanity and AI and where we could be heading

"Caleb Smith (Domhnall Gleeson) a programmer at a huge Internet company, wins a contest that enables him to spend a week at the private estate of Nathan Bateman (Oscar Isaac), his firm's brilliant CEO. When he arrives, Caleb learns that he has been chosen to be the human component in a Turing test to determine the capabilities and consciousness of Ava (Alicia Vikander), a beautiful robot. However, it soon becomes evident that Ava is far more self-aware and deceptive than either man imagined."

Top Gun Maverick - came out today at Redbox

Very good - what I probably liked the most was that there was no messaging.
Just a straightforward action flick.
