I'm after some nice, laid back, but not garbage films. Please help!

[ShizerMinelli]

As the title says - feel like I've had my fill of sweary, aggressive, high action, intense films. Now the evenings are lighter i just feel like something more laid back and easy going, but possibly still thought provoking, or in the least, not total bilge.

DH and I usually get the kids in bed, eat dinner, have a Potter, and get in bed with a movie. We've got a firestick so can usually find pretty much anything on there.

THANK YOU!

The big short is terrific

Moneyball - loved it.

Saving Grace
Waking Ned

The Martian

Thank you ! Have compiled a list, and starting with Sideways. Happy relaxed viewing awaits

Hunt for the Wilderpeople - really really good kiwi film.

Pride and What we did on our holidays both of which are mentioned up thread

I saw quite a sweet film on Netflix called 4th Man Out. It's about a man who tells his friends that he's gay. Nothing much happens, but it's quite funny and gentle.

Warning... Only watch Sideways if you have wine 🍷!
