I agree.

The Wolverine
Gravity

Valerian
Kong:Skull Island
Patriot's Day
Dunkirk

War For The Planet Of The Apes

Kong: Skull Island

Doctor Strange 
Beyond Valkyrie: Dawn of the Fourth Reich

Went and saw Dunkirk finally

It was awesome

I have finally seen all the movies on my summer watch list 

La La Land.
I thought it was good.

For some reason I went on a vampire kick today. I watched "What We Do in the Shadows". It's mockumentary that follows around three vampires. Pretty funny.

Then I watched "Shadow of the Vampire". I was thinking it was a different movie, but actually thought it was pretty good.

Finally got the family out to see "Wonder Woman". The wife and daughter loved it, but my son and I didn't. I was bored with most of the movie. The action scenes were great, but I thought the story plodded along.

This weekend my wife and I watched one of my absolute favorite movies The Fisher King.  She had never seen it but really enjoyed it too.

Took my wife to that early this year based on several good reviews from trusted male friends. I loved it so much that plopped down the money to buy it. She and I just watched it again this weekend with my oldest daughter and her suitor, and two of our other daughters. It's quickly becoming a family favorite.

Captain Underpants (with my son)
Dunkirk (seen that 3 times now!)

Did she really enjoy it, or was she just being nice to you because you two are newlyweds?

Ha, well I think I can safely say she actually enjoyed it, because she's made it very clear in the past when she doesn't like a movie I pick out! 

Watched Avatar for the first time. It's was alright. Very predictable and not worth the hype in my opinion.

^I still haven't seen it and have never had a desire to haha.

South Park did a pretty funny episode about it entitled "Dancing With Smurfs" because that's basically the plot: Dances With Wolves but with blue people hahaha.

Yeah, I was never really excited to see it. I had it playing in the background while I worked.

Ghost In the Shell

This summer has basically been a bunch of animated films for our family:

Sing
The Lego Batman Movie
Trolls
Moana 
Despicable Me 
Despicable Me 2
Minions
Storks

Raiders of the Lost Ark

Annabelle
Furious 7

Watched Solylent Green the other day. It's been a while since I had seen it. Not bad. I also watched:
"Going in Style" - Cute. Not the funniest, but good.
"Kong Skull Island" - Liked it.
"Wilson" - Weird. Funny in spots.
"Kill Switch" Hadn't heard of this sci-fi movie. It was interesting. A lot of it has the first person shooter imagery to it and felt like a game at times.

Haven't seen that one in ages, but I remember it being much better than I expected.

True Lies

Really fun movie.  It had been ages since I saw it.  Forgot how good it was.  The scene where Jamie Lee Curtis drops the submachine gun is priceless.
