I love “the Greatest Show on earth” it’s a love story, an action story, with a heart tugging ending. It’s also has great scenes from when the circus WAS the greatest show on earth! Great cast Charlton Heston, Jimmy Stewart, Cornel Wilde, Betty Hutton and Dorothy Lamour
Ok you should watch “A River Runs Through It” a Brad Pitt movie. The best part is at the end and what he says while fly fishing alone. You will need to listen to the ending several times .

Some of my favorites
Its a wonderful life, Dances with wolves, The Yearling, The Cowboys, Gone with the wind, The good the bad and the ugly.
I hate to cheat; not follow the rules, but I have to recommend “The Tattooist of Auschwitz”. No, it’s not a movie yet; maybe it will be someday. It’s a book that reads so well, when you’re finished you’ll swear to God it was a movie! A beautiful love story wrapped in the most challenging of circumstances.

Rudy
Never quit. Always believe in yourself.
The upside
Founder
Not a movie but documentaries series which I love because you can learn from successful people. One is the imagineering story on Disney plus. The last dance on Netflix is Michael Jordan’s story. He was the ultimate competitor and he never quit.
