Last five movies watched

"Adventures..." (1987) was a rewatch. The House Of Mouse has edited some of the language. I condone replacing a certain slur. I don't condone nerfing a couple of swears that were originally really impactful/memorable. Anyhoo, apart from that, the film holds up well. It's charming! Elisabeth Shue is an absolute queen. 23 playing 17, but a queen. For me, "Adventures..." is comparable to prime John Hughes fare. For a nanosecond, I considered watching the 2016 remake. Yeah-nah, looks awful.

Pick of the bunch: The revelatory "Val". I always thought Mr Kilmer was just another handsome leading man, good at playing roguish types. Turns out he's classically trained, very arty, very serious, very spiritual and has suffered considerable tragedy (not that he's "woe is me"). The strength of the doco is VK has visually documented EVERYTHING he's done in his acting career, going back to childhood. He has boxes and boxes of reels, tapes, etc., which provide some amazing insights into a fascinating life.
