DH is deployed, teenagers are all out or plugged into devices…

Ive just had a nice bath and pretending that the bottle of Malbec is not shouting me from downstairs…

So I’m looking for you excellent movie suggestions, gritty, moving, emotional, with complex layered characters and plots, I also like an inspirational movie (Hidden figures, King Richard, Society of Snow)

Dislike action, comedy, Sci-Fi/fantasy/time travel anything too cutesy.

God mine are all so old...

Gosford Park?
Spotlight
Lust/Caution

DingDongMerrilyOnHi · 05/01/2024 20:29

@PermanentTemporary loved Spotlight…

Dont think Gosford Park or Lust/caution are my kind of movie.

I hope I don’t sound really silly, but what does DJ mean in this context 🤔?

I'm watching the football. Saw the film Enigma recently & think you'd like it, if you haven't already seen it.

Uncut Gems on Netflix - bit of a stressful watch but Adam Sandler is great in it (plays a sleazy jewish jewellery dealer in NY). An outstanding performance from him.

An older one, but have you seen Crash (2004)?

Flamango · 05/01/2024 21:26

Killers of the flower moon?
gangs of New York
any Scorsese really that you might have missed

Triangle of sadness
bodies bodies bodies
both comedy but not in a silly way and really interesting and layered

NeedToKnow101 · 05/01/2024 21:53

Maiden on Netflix. Bloody brilliant and totally gripping.

Needhelp101 · 05/01/2024 21:55

Pride! Based on a true story, funny, moving and a fab 80s soundtrack. Also amazing cast.

Youdontfoolme · 05/01/2024 22:02

Past Lives is great

DingDongMerrilyOnHi · 06/01/2024 14:59

Still looking! 👀
