well, it was 14 years ago, and I don't remember much.
Take another look and maybe add it to the Pandemics list. Takes place during the 1920's cholera epidemic in China.
Speaking of the Norton list I tried Fight Club last night while I was waiting for The Plot Against America. Tuned in late and left early. Found some dark humor here and there, but I OD'd on Brad Pitt pretty fast.

I watched episode 1 of The Plot Against America last night, too. I guess episode 1 is the only one available now. I thought it was exceptionally well done (so much better than that horrible Hunters) but I anticipate it being very depressing.
Regarding The Plot Against America - I am deeply envious of HBO subscribers right now, even though I might not work up the nerve to watch it if I could. The book itself was seriously upsetting, and that was "before"....

I tried to kick the HBO habit but gave up. I'll eat less food, turn off all the lights, and lower the thermostat but I draw the line at sacrificing HBO. Come over to the dark side!

Some movies I've had to stop watching because I've watched them so many times, I can recite the script with the actors: The Way We Were, The Princess Bride, Pretty Woman, The Jerk
Sorry, I posted this first in the entirely wrong thread!)
@drummerboy, perhaps a candidate for your pandemics list with a twist. Since we are all trying to wash our hands, wear gloves and masks if you can find them, how about the funniest take on OCD behavior.
As Good As It Gets with Jack Nicholson and Helen Hunt.

What's wrong with reciting the script with the actors? I'd watch Casablanca on a huge Theater screen and do that under my breath.
Laying in bed sleeplessly overnight, the 1980s movie "1918" popped into my.head, probably because the Spanish Flu figures prominently in it. Anybody see that? A very young Matthew Broderick is in it. It's based on a Horton Foote story or book about a small town Texas family.
Tonight I'm going to watch "Never Rarely Sometimes Always" on Amazon. It's new and has gotten very good reviews. 99% on Rotten Tomatoes.
Faced with an unintended pregnancy and a lack of local support, Autumn and her cousin, Skylar, travel across state lines to New York City on a fraught journey of friendship, bravery and compassion.
If others want to watch it we can discuss it tomorrow.

I haven't looked but if you're an Amazon Prime subscriber, I think it's included but I'll confirm.

My mistake, the movie isn't available on Amazon until April 3rd.
I've seen All About Eve a million times. I usually recite every line. But her most well know line is in this clip. Worth watching also for the appearance of the dazzling MM. And has there ever been a more passive aggressive character than Anne Baxter.
Sorry, STANV, streaming and its options are not my strong suit. I watched the few short clips I could find on YouTube last night, and they reminded me how much I enjoy Cold Turkey and its performances, from the opening Randy Newman song (sorry, you-know-who) to that big clock at the end. Its dark humor about community relations during a kind of lockdown is just the tonic for me now.
The incomparable Tom Poston, whose left leg alone is funny.
No mortal out-exasperates Vincent Gardenia, but Jean Stapleton does. And in a cast featuring the master, Bob “Big Clocks” Newhart, the unheralded Barbara Cason does the comedic phone call to perfection.
At this point we don't even have cable. Eventually it will be streaming somewhere, or on DVDs if they still exist.
