...............I often ask people their suck-in movie. This is not necessarily their favourite but the one that comes on and keeps you sucked in until the end. Even though you've watched it a zillion times. For me it's Shawshank. I will deliberately avoid the channel it's on for fear of being "sucked in". Love it.

For me the sucked in movies are:
All the Jason Bourne movies
All the Daniel Craig Bond Movies
Stepbrothers

Ha!  One of these movies is not like the others!!  (And is also from planet bullsht, in the galaxy of this sucks camel ds)

On another note entirely, K. Loved El Machina. Clever. Great script, mood/setting and acting... and refreshing and bold to have the 3 main characters flawed in each of their own ways but no-one really the out-and-out bad guy... a la Hollywood. Even Nathan, a challenging character, had sharp, honest and poignant viewpoints.

Glad you liked it.

I came across it without really knowing anything about it.

I usually search lists for "best ***** movies of 2019" etc and download/save a heap of movies.....every now and then i go through and watch one without remembering why i got it. This was one of the best 'little finds' i've found from that method.

If you liked that one there is a movie called Morgan that is similar, but not quite up to the same standard....but interesting at least.

Oh....and you must watch Black Mirror, on netflix. Its a series (there is an interactive movie which is ok, but not as good as the series)
Each episode is completely unique. A basic premise is looking at a new form of technology that is almost within grasp of us today....and taking it down a path with unintended consequences. Eye opening and the best thing i've seen since the X-Files.
Some episodes can be a bit much....but stick with it.

Principal LODS, have you seen Edge of Tomorrow?

I haven't watched Edge of Tomorrow. It has Tom Cruise in it.
I like him a lot less than Kevin Costner.

I like him in Cocktail. He's good in Rain Man. I only watched Top Gun from start to finish for the first time 2 years ago. I'll put up with him in Eyes Wide Shut because its Kubrick.....but i won't watch much else with him in it.

Hey, K, I am on the same page re Cruise... absolute Scientology bozo and if he was any further up himself, he'd turn inside out. He's the reason I resisted Edge of Tomorrow for so long but the story and concept become the main characters after a while.
