Movie And A Beer Episode 2: Movies to binge over a weekend

Discussion of five movies to binge over a weekend and what beer(s) you can enjoy with them. The underlying theme of the movies selected was 'running away from something and personal loss'. While they all have their strengths in story, cinematography, acting, and direction. Each of these movies can stand alone on their own, but binging them makes it more fun.      Movies discussed:  The Balad of Buster Skrugs (2018)  This is a great western anthology of six short stories told by the Coen Brothers.  Taxi Driver (1976)  A classic film by Martin Scorsese. Follows a Taxi Driver that is suffering from insomnia,  Travis Bickle, played by Robert De Niro.    Run Lola Run (1998) German film starring Franka Potente as Lola who runs across Berlin to seek the help of her father. It retells the story over and over as she makes slightly different decisions each time.  Zombieland (2009) This great 'buddy flick' follows a group of four survivors of a zombie apocalypse. The film teaches you to abide by a list of survival rules and zombie-killing strategies with humor and grace.   Ex Machina (2014) Sci-Fi film that has robots that are self-aware at different levels and uses one of the characters to test their humanity. Beautiful visuals and use of technology to tell the story.
