  1. I saw 14, including 10 of top 14. no 10s. 9 and favorite spielburg. 9s not favorites Jurassic park, blue velvet(too weird to ever recommend), I am sam. I really did not like a perfect world(I am a huge Costner and eastwood fan). I really hated the master( I am a huge Joaquin phoenix and Phillip Seymour Hoffman fan) maybe unreasonable expectations. I probably need to revisit perfect world.
    just an update. I have broken into watching 2019 movies. it appears I have a little catching up to do. both were bad: glass, great hack

    1. Hey bob cox….thanks for checking out our Laura Dern page. 14 is a very solid tally count. I agree with you on Blue Velvet. I think the same thing about Sin City….a great movie….but when you recommend it….you have to give a warning. I have only seen A Perfect World once….like you….I probably need to see it again. Right there with you on The Master….really did not like that. Welcome to the 2019 movies…..the ending of Glass ruined the movie. Now almost a year later, and I still think that ending was really bad. Good feedback as always.
