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?

Chef on Netflix. Nice story, food and family with some good music. Very easy watching.

Jon Favareau not normally my cup of tea but I'd climb him like a tree in this . something about a man who knows his way around the kitchen is ver ver sexy

Watched Plane on Netflix fully expecting it to be a bit shit - actually quite enjoyed it.

I accidentally watched The Outfit last night. Mark Rylance. I really enjoyed it.
It’s on iPlayer. Strangely seemed to be violent but also gentle.

Operation Mincemeat - a bit slow in places but very interesting true story about WW2

True story with Judy Dench.
Set from Ww11 to now.
Absolutely brilliant.

Another vote for this one. I watched it yesterday. Wasn’t expecting much, but it had me enthralled. It’s on Prime.

Coast to Coast (1987, Lenny Henry)

V difficult to find though, something to do with the Motown soundtrack licensing issues.
