It's cold and miserable outside, we've lit the fire for the first time, dinner is cooked, we're up to date with all the TV we follow... It's the perfect evening for a film!

There are very few films we both agree on - we have Amazon, Netflix and Disney, What films, from the last 2-3 years, fit the following criteria:

Not sci-fi or fantasy
Not a rom-com
Not a horror/gory

A drama or comedy would be good. If drama, not doom & gloom/depressing.

Wise MNers - what should we watch this evening?!

Young woman and the sea is good. It is on Disney.

Brian and Charles. Really hard to describe. Lovely offbeat film with laughs along the way. (No idea if you can access it though, I saw it at the cinema).

PolaroidPrincess · 27/09/2024 18:05

Not a new film but I loved Bank of Dave.

Crochetpenguin · 27/09/2024 18:08

Wicked Little Letters on Netflix

Paisleydad · 27/09/2024 18:08

Swan Song. Touching. Again, with a laugh to be had (but a serious subject). Fab performance from Udo Kier.

The Holdovers - a lovely film, my favourite for quite a while, and I go to the cinema a lot! I think it's streaming on Amazon Prime.

CODA

In honour of Maggie Smith - Keeping Mum x

Arthur the King - sweet, feel good film, based on a true story, about a group of men doing a long distance adventure race, and a dog.

I agree, Coda is a lovely film, and stars Aled Jones, of The Snowman fame, daughter.

Butterflysunshine01 · 27/09/2024 18:31

Legends of the Fall! Classic

ArnieandBob · 27/09/2024 18:36

Green Book, loved that film.
Where the Crawdads Sing.
And this is an old film but my absolute favourite, The Bridges of Madison County.

Paisleydad · 27/09/2024 19:45

I'll second Green Book.

Do let us know what you went for.

I heard on the news that she won an Oscar for California Suite, which is a film I've never even heard of.

BiggerBoat1 · 27/09/2024 20:23

The Holdovers is a gorgeous film. Genuinely touching and funny.

Isittoolatea · 27/09/2024 20:23
