One of my faves is Harry Brown, Dead Mans Shoes is good too, both a bit dark ij theme but i enjoyed them.
I also loved Moana, more than my actual dc, all the lotr and the hobbit, and the old The Mummy films, plis the latest one with tom cruise in isnt bad either. Oh and anything with Dwayne Johnson in, exect the fast and furious crap.
