Dh has been trying to get me to watch a fil for about the last 15 years. But neither of us can remember. I was reminded when he talked about 'pitch perfect' and I thought it had pitch in the title. For some reason I think it's about journalists but could be wrong.
Mners have never failed me!

Anchorman?

Almost Famous?

TonOfLead · 23/11/2019 22:23

I was going to say Almost Famous too.

Is it 'Closer'?
It's about the how the relationship between two couples starts to crumble after the man from one of the couples engages in an affair with the woman of the other.
One of the characters is a journalist/writer.
The film has a bit of nudity & sex.
Julia Roberts, Natalie Portman, Clive Owen & Jude Lawrence are in it.
Closer came out in 2004.

All The President's Men?

Dapplegrey · 24/11/2019 01:04

The Front Page?

TheNestedIf · 24/11/2019 01:28

Based on the 'journalism' comment, DP has just suggested Superman and Spider-Man.

No. I don't know why I'm with him.

Can't sleep.

Enemy of the State?

frazzledasarock · 24/11/2019 01:55

Shattered glass

Lost in translation

Can’t sleep either

frazzledasarock · 24/11/2019 02:01

Down with love

2beautifulbabs · 24/11/2019 02:22

Unfaithful

Ginandgingers92 · 24/11/2019 02:58

Ooooh Down with Love is a good shout! Great, cheesy film too 👌🏼

pollywobble · 24/11/2019 03:02

Broadcast News?

CoatTails · 24/11/2019 03:56

Can’t sleep. DH has been out with friends and is snoring!

Love ‘Down With Love’! Can’t say it’s soft porn though.

AsAhDiSeh · 24/11/2019 04:00

Indecent Proposal

StealthPolarBear · 24/11/2019 08:13

I'm really sorry no.
When I find out it won't be anything to do with journalism will it?!
Also it isn't soft porn, there's just something about the name that makes me think it is.
I'm so sorry.

The Shipping News? Although the title is further from soft porn than anything I could imagine.

KittyMcAllister · 24/11/2019 08:20

Punch drunk love?

StealthPolarBear · 24/11/2019 08:21

No. I'm fairly certain the title is two words.

Is it Spotlight?

Ohffs66 · 24/11/2019 08:31

Woody Allen's Scoop or Match Point?

StealthPolarBear · 24/11/2019 08:36

No, no :)

The only film with 'pitch' in the title I can think of was 'pitch dark' NOT about journalism though 😬

Here's a list of top 25 journo films though...
