Suggest a film you love that no-one else knows

I’m just finishing Hear My Song in Amazon Prime, starring a very young Adrian Dunbar, Tara Fitzgerald and James Nesbit among others.

If you can get through the rousing final five minutes without your toes tapping and your hands clapping you are better than me!

It’s nonsensical, whimsical nostalgia and twee Irish, but marvellous.

Blithe spirit the old version from 1940s. My all time favourite film. It’s in technicolour. Reminds me of my nana xx

Vacation from Marriage. It's a WW2 movie with Robert Donat and Deborah Kerr. They're in a drab flat, in a boring marriage and old before their time. He gets called up for war, she volunteers too, and they don't see each other for a couple of years. Then they meet up......

@EssexLioness Cry Baby was my favourite movie as a teenager...we were all rockabillies and just adored it. I remember watching it over 300 times lol.

What we did last holiday rosamund pike and Billy Connolly
Your kids will love it
Sweet, funny, touching

Can anyone remember a fairly recent film, black comedy, two women, possibly spies, cut off victims finger when he was dead to activate his device

Loved it but as you can see , I can barely remember anything about it

Virgin suicides

35 Shots of Rum. It’s a French film from 2008 about a widowed dad and daughter living in Paris, and both of them realising that she’s not a child anymore and things are changing. It’s really slow and beautiful, amazing music.

I warn you though, since having DS I can’t watch it without howling 😭

Death at a Funeral has me in stitches every time watch it.

I love English films

Was that Spy with Miranda Hart and Jason Statham? That is a really funny film. I loved Jason Statham taking the piss out of himself.

Actually meant British films but pressed too soon

Love Hear My Song op. Must watch again.

And His Girl Friday, Tokyo Story and Babette's Feast.

The Man who Sued God is a brilliant film, Billy Connolly is excellent in it.

Pay it forward is good if you like a sobfest.

Safety Not Guaranteed

No, not that one m but I have seen it.

I don’t remember a big name in it.
But it’s one of the titles that you instantly forget.
It’s going to annoy me now
Pro a saw it 3 years ago

I was going to mention the Man Who Sued God also.

On the subject of Australian films The Castle is terrifically funny. Eric Bana is in it. Australians can never get over how he became a bit of a Hollywood heart throb because he always played really dim comic characters in Australian films.

I really like The Castle. The husband is so proud of his wife for very simple cooking 'What are we having today love?' 'Rissoles'. I think the funniest line is 'How did you get that so tasty Love' 'I used the flavour sachet'.

Also Hercules Returns which is about a little independent cinema putting on their first film and not realising it is in Italian so the staff dub it themselves.

@waltzingparrot

Oops, sorry OP. X post

Good choice

Cloud Atlas
really enjoyed that movie

I am sure I know the film also.... hmmmm let me think a bit

@Dowser - was it 'The Spy Who Dumped Me', with Mila Kunis and Kate McKinnon? Where they put the thumb in a lipstick holder to keep it? Looking past the fact that fingerprint recognition doesn't work that way, of course...

I went to the cinema to see that, and found it surprisingly enjoyable! Not likely to win any awards, but an easy watch, I'd watch it again.

Yes!!!!!!! I think that was it.

Les Visiteurs (French comedy). I don't generally like comedies, but this had me LOL.

German language film called Labyrinth of Lies. Not a "fun" watch (deals with Holocaust related themes) but possibly the film that's made the most impression on me ever.

Marvellous with Toby Jones is indeed brilliant, as is What we did on our Holiday.

Hunt for the Wilderpeople - and if you watch Thor Ragnarok afterwards it's even funnier. It's sad, it's beautiful scenery, it's hilarious and uplifting.

Warning ..gosh 😱

Vivacious Lady - ginger roger at her finest with James Stewart. Currently on iplayer. Also arsenic and old lace, bringing up baby. Classics.

I love the slipper and the rose. I have it on dvd. I also have a version of cinderella with Kathleen Turner as the stepmother its a ch4 film. One of my favourites.

Keeping mum, what we did on our holiday both brilliant. No one has mentioned Saving Grace yet I think which is another British underrated classic.

I like action films and one of my favourites is Big Game with Samuel L Jackson. Not many people have seen it. Its very cheesy but enjoyable.

There's also an adaptation of Arabian nights with rufus sewell and dougray scott in which I love.
