Not much into movies...but...if you like history, there is a YouTube channel I watch called History Buffs. The narrator reviews movies and evaluates them on their historic accuracy. The guy's name is Nick Hodges and he speaks the Queens English but he is still easy to understand 
@The_Doc_Man
Alita: Battle Angel
The Sixth Sense
Bicentennial Man
I've already watched above movies. I worship Robin Williams and almost have seen most of his movies. Above all I enjoyed Good Will Hunting, Good Morning, Vietnam, Mrs. Doubtfire & Insomnia
The following was added to my watch list.
Victor Victoria
Forbidden Planet
Arsenic and Old Lace
The Last Starfighter
Now that we're talking about old movies, have you watched A Raisin in the Sun? It's a 1961 movie (2 years before I was born), a powerful and excellent movie. I ranked it above 12 Angry Men.
In case of The Sixth Sense, I love unpredictable movies. If you like these kind of movies I suggest you the following:
The Others (2001) starring Nicole Kidman
The Machinist (2004) starring Christian Bale
Shutter Island (2010) starring Leonardo DiCaprio
If interested, I have a long list.
Million thanks for your suggestion.

Good choice. But I've already watched that. If you like Roman Polanski I suggest you The Pianist (2002) & Death and the Maiden (1994)

Have a look at Pay It Forward
I've seen it long ago. But can not remember the story line. I added to my list to watch one more time.
Thanks for suggesting.

Pirate Radio...it goes well with Col's contribution to the Obscure Song thread...
I thought I have seen all Philip Seymour Hoffman movies. Apparently I have missed this one.
Added.
Now I need a Hug button in the list of Likes. But wait. We're in quarantine. No hugs allowed. What a pity.

Pan's Labyrinth (IMDb 8.2) - Please be aware that this is a very depressing movie.
On a much happier not, @The_Doc_Man reminded me of of Alita: Battle Angel. A movie I highly recommend. Also Leslie Nielsen, besides Airplane, appeared in a series of funny movies begging with "Naked Gun". The first one had a rating of IMDb 7.6.

For the maybe one or two baseball fans out there,
Moneyball 7.6 IMDb - How statistics shook up an organization and took them all the way to the series.
42 - 7.5 IMDb Based on the true story of Jackie Robinson. There's a scene in the movie where an opposing team manager is trying to rattle Robinson at the plate. I found it quite uncomfortable to watch and marveled how any actor (the manager) could bring themselves down to that level, even in the name of acting.

An addition to my list:
Driving Miss Daisy (7.4) Jessica Tandy, Morgan Freeman, Dan Aykroyd (1989) 99 min. - Daisy Werthan (Jessica Tandy) is an aging women who needs a helper to driver her places (because she is no longer a safe driver). Hoke Colburn (Morgan Freeman) takes on the job. Through several years of being together, their racial and ethnic differences become less important than their trust. I have trouble watching the end of this film only because it brings back my memories of my mother's final years. I cry during the last 20 minutes every time I see it.
Despite its special meaning for me, it is an incredibly beautiful film. Other people thought so too, because from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences it received awards ("Oscars") for Best Picture, Best Actress in a Leading Role (Jessica Tandy), Best Screenplay, and Best Makeup. It also received nominations for Best Actor in a Leading Role (Morgan Freeman), Best Actor in a Supporting Role (Dan Aykroyd), Best Costume Design, Best Art Direction, and Best Film Editing. Despite only getting a 7.4, this is a true masterpiece of the film maker's art.

A movie with a lot of subtlety with Sean Connery and Candice Bergen that I'm betting most have not heard of, one of few I bought the DVD of:
The Wind and the Lion
An Amazon series we really like, based on a series of books we read and liked:
Bosch

Uncle G, I have to say I agree on the John Carter movie (2012, 132 min). It wasn't that popular at the box office and only got a 6.6 from IMDB, but part of its problem was that it was made too late. Having read some of the Edgar Rice Burroughs "John Carter" novels, I have to say that it was a pretty decent treatment and I enjoyed it a lot. However, entirely too many "space operas" had already been made by 2012 and it paled in comparison to the Star Wars franchise, which had more spectacular special effects. Also, because it was more faithful to A Princess of Mars, it was a little hokey in some ways, mostly because they knew they couldn't travel the way that the books used for travel - basically a wish and a prayer of sorts.
