Following for inspiration. My favourite film is Inside Out so I don’t feel I can add much to this discussion BlushGrin
Inside out is fab!!! My favourite movie is dumbo, so don't feel too embarrassed Grin

I adore Tom Hanks, binge watched most of his films when I first got ill, sully and castaway are my favourites.

I love marvel films, have watched them all because DS loves them.

I'm so grateful for all your replies! Some great film suggestions!

@tiddlywinks2

How long have you been unwell for? Hope you'll be better soon!

I think you probably have enough movies to get you through now?!

(More votes for shawshank redemption & green mile & I'm not sure if it's been said, but The Rock (Sean Connery))

I have been house sitting for friends who have Netflix (I don't!!). I enjoyed

The Maid (though 'enjoyed' isn't the right word!
