DH and I going to watch a film tonight, but don’t know what to watch!
what’s a great film I might not have seen?
I don’t like Game of Thrones type stuff.
I loved the Fall Guy.
I love old films.
Any suggestions?

The Admirable Crichton (1957, people shipwrecked on a desert island)

Local Hero (1983, comedy drama set in Scotland - you will recognise the brilliant soundtrack by Mark Knopfler)

The Dish (2000, the Moon Landing from an Australian perspective)

Love The Admirable Creighton!
Will look up the other two, thanks.
You can buy anything!

My Cousin Vinny! One of my favourite films ever :)

JollyJunee · 21/09/2024 18:27

Think I’ve seen nearly all those Dann, thanks though.
I’ll maybe stick with more recent films.
And I hate gruesome violence.
Thinking maybe Hidden Figures I have t seen that but DH not keen…

What we did on our Holiday.

IPlayer has got a bunch of classic movies but I can't find how to see them all together. I'm sure there used to be a separate category for them. They've got a bunch of Fred Astaire movies, and loads of film noir. You could do a lot worse than starting at A in their a-z listing, scrolling down and stopping when you get to The Big Sleep - or carry on to Bringing Up Baby depending on your mood.

Office Space

Hidden Figures is a lovely film.
Keeping Mum is a good one.

Watch The Green Book on Netflix - it's really brilliant

The Departed. One of my favourites

True story with Judy Dench.

Absolutely brilliant.

1984 on Prime

Beth216 · 21/09/2024 18:43

Bullet train with Brad Pitt is very good. Sounds v. boring as all on a train, but funny and fast moving.

NashvilleQueen · 21/09/2024 18:44

Sideways
The Station Agent

Nanny31 · 21/09/2024 18:49
