Brooklyn- it’s funny and very touching really enjoyable film (young Irish girl moves to NY)

The Fundamentals of Caring - made me cry but very funny at times too

If you lie the Edwardian thing - Maurice abd A Passage to India.

I was also going to say “Catch me if you can” and “Cinema Paradiso”.

For done very light and understated,”What We did on our Holidays” is glorious.

I loved The Guernsey Literary and Potato Pie Society.

I think I saw Mystic Pizza is on Netflix. def also Fried Green Tomatoes and Steel Magnolias.
Netflix has also got a mini series called Madam which is ace.

A PP mentioned Jean de Florette and Manon des Sources, which are both gorgeous films. If you like these & don't mind subtitles, similar are La Gloire de mon Père and Le Chateau de ma Mère, also lovely films set in very scenic parts of France

Fisherman’s Friends

ElaineMarieBenes · 26/04/2020 13:57

A lot of good suggestions but would like to add:

Sense & Sensibility (and anything directed by Ang Lee except Hulk)

Far from the Madding Crowd (either but I prefer the one with Carrie Mulligan)

Gorky Park

A Serious Man

Foreign language films:
The Great Beauty
Tell no one
Smoke & Mirrors
Theeb

The Sheltering Sky

Paris, Texas

Destination Wedding was weirdly enjoyable, once you realise you're MEANT to dislike both main characters. At least, I HOPE you're meant to dislike them.

The Secret Life of Walter Mitty.

The Secret Life of Walter Mitty
Thanks. I will definitely check this out. I got accused of being a Walter Mitty type by a fellow MNer under a previous user name!

You might like korean romantic dramas - Romance is a Bonus Book is a romcom which kind of fits in with some of your likes.

Matt Damon is great in The Talented Mr Ripley. He’s also great in Good Will Hunting, two of my absolute faves.
