This was moved here to continue

If you're not kidding around it's a line from "The Big Lebowski "Great flic see stuff I didn't each time I watch it .
It was written and directed by the Coen Brothers- check out their other films- most are great!!
For example:
Fargo
No Country for Old men
Oh brother Where Art thou
True Grit
Raising Arizona
Miller's Crossing,
and their first- Blood Simple
Yes, I've seen most of those movies you listed.
"Oh brother Where Art thou" - first time I watched it, I though it was a real yawner, so watch it again and liked it after that.
Raising AZ was good, I like Nicholas Cage's movies; Con Air has a lot of great lines in it (Don't mess with the Bunny!)

Watched a couple of movies recently that I wanted to see when they came out.
Like usual, I wait until it's "On Demand" or on TMC or AMC
Saw "Edge of Tomorrow" with Tom Cruise the other day.
I give it a 5 out of 10
It's a blend of Matrix and Groundhog Day so it's a SyFy set in the future after the aliens have landed and are starting to wipe out the planet.

Then watched a "why did I bother renting this junk" animated movie call "Sausage Party"
If it's free, get really wasted and watch it, it's funny as hell.
If your a puritan, don't go near it.
It basic College Humor set to animation; (the food taking over the store has some ROFLMAO lines and visuals, and other times it's pretty sick)

It might be known to you and others, but a friend turned me onto "Kodi" has it ALL!!!!!! and all free. I watched the accountant the other day.
It's all streamed from a variety of sources, quality is noted from 1080 to a hand-held camcorder.
Think the Napster of video- She set it up on a amazon stick - nothing to me but to the techies out there it seems to be an easy do.
Did I mention ALL movies, by year, title, language, most watched etc. there is more stuff than a person could ever watch. I use rotten tomatoes to get a critical review as there are no stars or blurbs. Unless you know the movie.
I might be preaching to the choir, and I'm the last person to know this stuff.
I still have my playlist from ago, no need to save these vids.
BTW, Puritan ain't in my bio.

We ditched Dish for Roku recently, and are pretty happy with it. I "recycled" the two satellite antennas; they're now birdbaths. :D

VUDU just started "Free movies with adds" and if you buy a BD or DVD with Ultraviolet or Instawatch, you can put it in a VUDU library.
VUDU also has 4K movies, in case you have a 4K TV and do not want to buy an expensive 4K player. But a 4K ROKU, or 4K ROKU TV is needed for that.

Why does Kodi seem to be flying below the radar - for such a small purchase of hardware, to then have unlimited viewing opportunities seems like it would be front page news- throw away netflix and Amazon Prime (I'll keep it-2nd day shipping is the best), I also had Acorn (UK productions) gone.
I see no downside. I have a thin plastic update of the "rabbit ears" which I move around the room for local stuff. However, I'm still searching for live stream Football (or as only Americans call it soccer) any suggestions?
X:LII time to turn in
