What film shall I watch later?

[FusionChefGeoff]

Everyone is out and it’s finally cooled down so I’m going to watch a film and plough through the ironing pile! Have allll the TV and film apps / channels so I’d love to hear recommendations for something my husband wouldn’t like!! Strong female leads, maybe a weepy, maybe a drama, something that’s ‘decent’ or powerful rather than a lighthearted romp!!

Broadcast News
The Apartment
Erin Brockovich
All About Eve
The Post

The Holdovers is lovely.

Carol
Silver Linings Playbook
Before Sunset trilogy
Three Colours
Amelie

Wonderful some great ideas here some I’ve heard of some I haven’t thank you so much!

Beaches. Have the tissues to hand.

A Town Like Alice. And have a good old cry.

Straw. It’s new on Netflix, very dramatic with strong female cast

The Lost Boys

Keeping Mum. Watched it at the weekend, really funny.
Also, The Dressmaker. A bit cheesy, but entertaining.

Let's be friends

I don't know if 'Finding Your Feet' is on anywhere, but that would fit your description.

Steel Magnolias

Hidden Figures.

I second Silver Linings Playbook

To Have and Have Not
The Big Sleep
Adam's Rib
Woman of the Year
His Girl Friday
It Happened One Night
Gone With The Wind

Seconded!

Although I've not seen Erin Brokovich

You should rectify that!

Begin Again

I have just finished watching The Lakes - written by Jimmy McGovern and starring John Simm. Brilliant writing and brilliant acting. I cannot recommend too highly. It is quite a few years old now and was a TV series.

Safety not guaranteed

Right, Silver LInings Playbook it is - but saving this thread!! Oh just realised it's in Chat does that mean it will vanish?? Even if I save the link somewhere??

A Dark Song is more thank just an occult horror. It’s actually beautiful and redemptive.
