STILL: A MICHAEL J. FOX MOVIE 2023 Davis Guggenheim

1h 35m | Documentary
Writer: Michael J. Fox

For me personally a very nostalgic, heartwarming and honest documentary. Nice to see that during all of his struggles and pain he never lost his sense of humor.

A SHOCK TO THE SYSTEM 1990 Jan Egleson

1h 28m | Thriller | Crime | Comedy
Writers: Simon Brett, Andrew Klavan
Cast: Michael Caine, Elizabeth McGovern, Peter Riegert

Well made noirish office thriller. Lots of recognizable situations for anyone who's ever worked a 9 to 5 in an office environment and had to deal with a reorganization.
Cheers @stillmellow for the recommendation.
