I second "The Revenant" Its the film that won DICaprio his first oscar, when he very much deserved it in several other films, the Revenant really pushed the authenticity of his acting to the max.

Wow. Thanks for your reaction Nat. I had no idea what the plot of this movie was about and it really gripped me. Long movies are never an issue when they are done well and this one just kept you watching. The camerawork, the performances and the score were all top tier, especially Leo, who transformed himself into that character. It was really interesting to see Martin Scorcese himself deliver the eulogy of Molly's final years. Great movie and great reaction. I really enjoyed watching this one with you, and like you Nat, I was happy to be proved wrong about this movie ha ha 😊

Another good thing on apple TV is The Crowded Room with Tom Holland!

I had a feeling this one would work for you. I don’t think I got around to it, but I had intended to leave a comment on the Wolf of Wall Street reaction urging you to reconsider your decision to avoid Scorsese (pronounced Score-sessy, btw. Most people get it wrong) for a few reasons. Up until now you had only seen him working in one particular mode, and more significantly, you had only seen movies that he hadn’t initially wanted to make. Goodfellas, The Departed, and The Wolf of Wall Street were all films that were brought to him, that he had to be convinced to come on board and direct. Killers of the Flower Moon is now the first film of his you’ve seen that was a passion project of his, one that he was involved in developing from the beginning. While I do think it’s good you saw those previous films before this one, as it functions as kind of a subversion of the gangster films he made his name on (which he also did with the Irishman in a much more overt way), I don’t think those films gave you a complete picture of him as an artist. It would have been a shame if you’d written him off after just those three films. As for the film itself, one of the most impressive feats it manages to pull off, I think, is how it makes it so clear from the beginning that Ernest is being manipulated by his uncle, but the film never lets him off the hook for his actions because of that, and even makes the case for why, in his particularly extreme brand of cowardice and stupidity, he’s actually an even more evil man than his uncle. A fascinating character played to perfection by Leo in what might be his finest performance. And then to have it end with Scorsese acknowledging his own complicity in exploiting this story for entertainment, no matter how respectfully and seriously he approached the subject matter, really ties the themes of the film up in an unexpected but moving way. For future Scorsese films on the channel, I’d recommend staying away from his other gangster movies for a while, and checking out some of the other kinds of movies he has made. Taxi Driver and The King of Comedy (both more relevant today than ever) are obvious yet still great choices, but I’d also suggest films like After Hours, The Color of Money, The Age of Innocence, and Silence, to name just a few of his many great works. Whatever you end up doing in the future tho, I’m glad you finally found a Scorsese (again, Score-sessy) film that worked for you. He’s one of the most talented filmmakers to ever grace the industry, and his love for cinema is evident across the broad range of films he has directed. I hope to see you discover that range over the years to come.

I didn’t want to watch a movie 🎥 that was 3 hours long but I enjoyed watching this with Nat. Unfortunately, I fell asleep 😴 because I work nights and tried to watch it before going to sleep. I watched a documentary on this story last year and the film covered most of the facts in the film. A true life US tragedy that is rarely discussed. Overall, it was a great film and a fun watch.

Martin Scorsese intentionally did not include subtitles during certain Osage spoken scenes. According to the director, he wanted people to "see the movie, not read the movie" and that in the scenes where the subtitles are not included, the viewers should be able to tell what is being said.
