So, with a lot of people stuck at home, I figured it would be worthwhile to share suggestions on stuff to watch that makes good Trinity viewing. My only really criteria here is that it be stuff that's available on various streaming services - Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu, etc. - without requiring any additional outlay of money.
So, starting with three from Amazon Prime:
Ronin (1998), a really solid action/heist/intrigue film involving agents for hire doing a job in Europe, featuring Robert De Niro, Jean Reno, and Sean Bean.
Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (1982), probably one of the best of the Star Trek films, with a lot of ideas that can be mined for Aeon, including the ideas of accidentally stumbling upon a long banished genetically evolved foe and a race for control of a weaponized super-science device.
The Phantom (1996), with Billy Zane as the title character, a decent adaption of the classic pulp comic strip character. This was listed as one of the inspirational media for the original edition of Adventure! way back when, in a large part because, in contrast to almost every other masked superhero adaption in the wake of the 1989 Batman, it was refreshingly absent of any sort of angsty brooding.
