FREE SOLO - have it here, need to check it out. I'm also gonna check out Elizabeth's MERU, which is supposedly also really breathtaking and exhilerating.
Both excellent films.

Both are IMO FANTASTIC, I hope you enjoy them.
There's also a film (I think on Netflix, at least in the States) called Mountain that's pretty good. Jimmy Chin (Elizabeth's husband–he's very cool, also in both movies you cited, and an elite climber, skier, and photographer) is in that one too (passing a joint on top of a rocky crag in one scene haha).

I liked Ralph Breaks The Internet a lot, too. Uh oh, Seul, you're turning into me…

Well - I'll just go ahead and sound all corny… I don't even mind …
Reason why is this absolute peach of a movie I just watched: WONDER.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2543472/
First things first: Steve Conrad helped with the screenplay... He's the lad who wrote PATRIOT... Now I am convinced that PATRIOT season 2 was the best television made in 2018… Same as season 1 was in 2015...
So... WONDER... It's a feel good family movie starring Owen Wilson and Julia Roberts... What the hell have I been drinking, right?.. A very nice red Ventenac if you really want to know... But: it's worth a watch... If you want a good cry, or a solid laugh; it's heartwarming and a tad naive but you'll forgive it for being so through teary eyes.
Three thumbs up.

Loved Blackkklansman, though my take on it wasn't that it was especially bleak
I said the underlying message was bleak. The movie is a boatload of fun. The kick in the stomach Lee gives you at the end isn't.
Watched it last night. A great film. How the footage at the end didn't make international news I do not know.

@emceeQ I watched this a good few months ago. It is crazy. I enjoyed it and it can't really be compared to any other film I can recall. It clearly tips it's hat to Argento and 1970s Itallian horror (in some of the cinematography and lighting).

Watched that there Leaving Neverland. Obviously very unpleasant subject matter, and the two accusers go into considerable detail. Before watching it, I had no real convictions either way about Wacko's alleged misconduct. Wade and Jimmy seemed completely believable in their recounts, and I found myself very much convinced by them.
It's amazing how the power of stardom can completely bamboozle practically everyone around you. The guy was obviously desperately strange, and yet everyone was happy to just go along with it and hope for the best. Just a mental situation, really.

Watched a very interesting social experiment 'film' last night called "The Push" which is a plot worked up by Hypnotist, Darren Brown. In short, the show is similar to a hidden camera show where the goal is to see how much control they can have over one unsuspecting person up to the point that they can convince the person to commit murder. No spoilers. It's about 70 minutes and can be found on Netflix.

Sounds great! Basically a reworking of the Milgram experiment, then. Derren Brown is fantastic; been a fan of his for about two decades now.

@nurunuru highly recommended, especially if you're a Brown fan. He's done a few others as well that are on Netflix too I think (Sacrifice and Miracle).

Dragons: Hidden World: 8/10
Saw this with my son and found it enjoyable. Cool seeing the characters getting older, which seems noticeably absent in films of this type
