Movie/film suggestions.

@whipsaw: The Conversation is my favorite of Coppola’s. His "small" movie.

Another favorite of mine is The Last Picture Show by Peter Bogdanovich. A great soundtrack too, with lots of Hank Williams.

And Tender Mercies with Robert Duvall. A related film is Crazy Heart, with Duvall in a supporting role to Jeff Bridges. Not too bad a singer, and some great songs. Produced by the ubiquitous T Bone Burnett.

Thank you. I agree with the others that you mentioned, as well. All excellent films, and I especially like Tender Mercies.

Another that springs to mind is The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada, starring, and directed by Tommy Lee Jones.

"Sunshine Cleaners"

In no particular order:

Jean de Florette & Manon of the Spring 

The Searchers

Hombre

Donovan's Reef

Knox Goes Away

Lawrence of Arabia

Paths of Glory

Dr. Strangelove

Fail Safe

Interstellar 

The Professionals

The Thing (the original version)

Arrival

Blade Runner 2049

Hell or High Water

You Won't Be Alone  (be prepared for nothing, and everything)

Only Lovers Left Alive

Too many to list makes it impossible to come up with all the good ones so have at it.

All the best,
