Oh boy, do I have a good movie recommendaton for you and surprisingly it’s not on Tubi.
The movie is called The Fall.
And it is absolutely wonderful!
Even a week after watching it I still think about it. The basic plot revolves around a 1920’s era movie stunt man who gets injured on the job and is recuperating at a hospital where he befriends a young girl, who is also on the mend. They become friends and he kills time by telling her a sweeping, epic story that often times mimics his own life.
It’s a lot more layered an nuanced than that but that’s a real simple synopsis.
My favorite part is the cinematography and the on-location shooting: this movie is beautiful to look at. The colors and designs are simply fantastic.
And the little girl is so adorable.
Do yourself a huge favor, track this movie down and watch it, you will not be disappointed.

Again, Tubi has given me a gift.
This time the movie is Ice Station Zebra, a fun cold war romp involving the soviets, a submarine crew and a couple of spies.
This movie is pretty fun and the submarine cinematography is really good, especially considering its over 50 years old.
Rock Hudson plays the submarine commander and he does a great job and is entertaining to watch. Patrick McGoohan plays a British spy named Jones and he makes it easy to both like and dislike him. The film has some interesting twists and turns and if you like older adventure/spy/thrillers then this will be perfect for you.
