It's basically like Contact - almost perfect premise and build-up, but it just deflates like a leaky balloon, with stupid religious nonsense mixed in

A Man For All Seasons. Won Best Picture, Actor, Screenplay, Cinematography. Just rewatched this weekend. Still holds up.

Road to Perdition would probably scratch that itch.
As would The Untouchables.

Life is a perpetual battle not to constantly rewatch Deadwood.

True Grit (the remake)
Hulu has this new western with Keifer and Donald Sutherland starring. Don't remember the name.
The Monuments Men

Hidden Figures, it tells the story of the African-American mathematicians who helped put John Glenn into orbit.

Hey man, if we ever start visiting and invading planets, I'm sure there will be a few groups of humans who think that landing on planets with nitrogen or methane as the local atmosphere is a perfectly smart thing to do.

For TV Series I recommend Deadwood and Warrior. Both on HBO Max.

I had to read your list twice to make sure Master and Commander wasn’t mentioned anywhere.

The joke (and various versions of it) absolutely predates the film and goes back many generations, don’t forget where Mel Brooks comedic roots are from. It’s funny because if you know your Bible stories, you know that according to (scripture, myth, whatever you want to call it) there were multiple versions of the commandments in the source material anyway.

The TV sub has a huge stick wedged up its backside about Yellowstone. People like it. Get over it.

While the ending isn’t so great, the set up amazing.

Reply to Thoughts on Annihilation? by kczbrekker
It was fine but when you compare it to Garland's previous movie (Ex Machina) it isn't nearly as well executed. Annihilation had some cool ideas and great visuals, but it just felt weak in general. I think part of my hold up was the lack of believability in Natalie Portman's character and her acting, but they seemed to introduce a lot of questions about how the thing "worked" without actually answering them.
(Tessa Thomson is a plant now I guess. Did you need to physically touch the "center" of the shimmer to get a copy? If so does that mean that the twinned deer worked themselves into that cavern too (through closed doors)? Here are just some human bones hanging out on the beach. Why did Kane's grenade just kill him, but Lena's burn down /EVERYTHING/).
Ultimately, it's hard to introduce a new idea, and the prismatic alteration of DNA is a neat one, but it is also kind of a handwaving crutch for some of the fates of both people and animals just to have cool visuals.
Judging by the downvotes anyone speaking negatively about the movie is getting, I expect the same.

Reply to Joke in History of the World: Part 1 by AcceptableHeight308
The bible is essentially a collection of stories/books, compiled illustrating the essence of the human condition. The gag could be pointing out the many interpretations/edits and omissions made over the course of time to suit the needs of those in power. Or it could just be that after inhaling the smoke from that burning bush that Moses got a little loopy…
