One good moment

I'm not terribly discriminating about films. They can have tired plots, uninspiring characters, or whatnot. There are certain types of film that I don't tend to like -- torture porn, misbehavin' man-child movies, or the stunning true story of the unlikely sports team that inspired the sleepy college town -- and therefore don't tend to watch.

But I'll watch a stupid rom com, or a formulaic police procedural. Give me a car chase movie with explosions a'plenty. I figure that if I can get one really good moment from a movie, I'm glad to have seen it. That's all I need: one good moment in a movie.

Hm. You might take a peek at _the tailor of panama_ which is pierce brosnan gets to play a serious asshole spy. It's difficult to watch, but it builds towards one shining human moment (not involving the asshole spy) at the end of the movie.

It is seriously hard to watch, so if the description on Netflix or your movie purveyor of choice doesn't sound like fun, skip it. But it sounded interesting to me, so I watched it once, and then the ending was good enough so I watched it again later.
