''Movies used to be worth going out to see... Damn those were good times!'' Yeah, I think I had seen more movies worth going back then, than now. The stories today are so generic/pretentious propaganda trying to brainwash the audience into DEI stuff. ''Back when the movie theater butter was full of coconut and palm oil and actually tasted good. Last time I went, the popcorn was like microwaved and the movie... Sucked.'' .....at least for me, the local movie theaters still make good popcorns. Any favorites from 80s/90s? For me, 'Once upon a time in America'; it was the movie that sucked phony anti-Semitism I had indulged myself in back then. My phony anti-Semitism was nothing more than an immature juvenile revolt against the mantra that Jewish people are holy; you are not, so you must put the Jewish people on a pedestal, and seek their approval, to be worthy! Enough was enough: I was like, ''Fuuuuuck yooooooou! I am a free man, not a slave, not a faggot, not a maricon.'' Certainly, all the movies portraying Jewish people as innocent victims, resistance heroes, never anything else made me think (and rightly so), they were lying. So playing an anti-Semite was my 'fuck you' to them. However, I ended up watching 'Once upon a time in America' in the wee hours, alone the basement of OSU dormitory, and I was mesmerized, spellbound, about this story of Jewish gangsters. Never have I seen Jewish people portrayed as anything other than innocent victims, plucky resistance heroes, but brutish gangsters, betraying each other, brutalizing women, both Jewish and gentiles, but still come up as authentic human beings, totally real, and still feel tragic, and sympathetic, without any hint of schmaltz. I realized that Jewish people are just like others, not some holier than thou stereotype.

''"Once Upon a Time in America." Another one I haven't seen.'' I am surprised you missed that one, considering you're a movie fanatic, especially back then! That is my all time favorite movie; I have never seen any movie excelling 'OUTA' in my life. 'OUTA' is basically anti-Titanic. Utterly anti-Schmaltz. However, I gotta warn, some scenes in the movie are emotionally utterly brutal, real, yes, but too brutal. Especially, considering the character subject to such devastating treatment is not even someone the audience like, and relatively a minor character no less. I've watched most movies you listed, none of which are even close to 'OUTA'; I've learned much about plotting/character development from 'OUTA'. Here are some scenes:
