ive always enjoyed The Man From Earth, a movie about a bunch of people sitting together in a room talking about one of them being a 14000 year old biologically immortal cave man. its such a fun idea and they spend almost the whole time just talking about it with no flash backs or anything. ill admit some of it is a little hokey. one time i watched it with a group of friends and one of them said he wished he could have the time back lol. i still really like it, just dont watch the sequel. its so stupid idk why they bothered to make it.

That’s one of my favourites, though I did find it weird how intense some of them got. Like I understand the one lady as her worldview was falling apart, but Art and Will seemed crazy with how they were reacting. Keeping it vague to avoid spoilers, but John should have turned what Will threatened at the end back on him after what he threatened in the middle. Guy shouldn’t have had his license after pulling that shit, let alone act like he’s the one speaking from wisdom.
But that sequel lol… They dialed the intensity even higher, though I can’t tell if the movie was made with a “this is what you get for pissing a certain group off” mindset or a “this movie wants to show even more how crazy this certain group can be” mindset. The writing was so bad in the second one.
