Good meaty distracting films please?

[Graphista]

In the mood for something I can get my teeth into but not overly complex or disturbing.

So action/drama type thing available to watch free on prime, Netflix or catch up apps

Like 80's/90's action stuff and legal dramas

So I like stuff like mission impossible, wanted, terminator, Erin brockovich, runaway jury...

So a decent but not overly complicated plot line.

Bit of a fascination for spy/Cold War stuff too

The best film I have seen in ages was "You were never really here" with Joaquin Phoenix. Free on Prime. It's quite bloody though and the subject is difficult. Very good though.

Double Jeopardy?

Reasonable Doubt on Netflix is quite good, bit of legal stuff as well as action, some twists but not too complicated so an easy watch.

90s anything with Julia Roberts / Mel Gibson / Bruce Willis

Anything by John Grisham - The Client, The Pelican Brief

Tried atomic blonde couldn't get into it, trying reasonable doubt now.

Have you seen A Few Good Men? I love that one.

A Time to Kill - brilliant but harrowing.

The Blind Side?

Marking my place for inspiration.

Just watched Paper Town which was okay. Recorded it off terrestrial tv though, so not sure if it’s on subscription services.

Double jeopardy, a few good men and the blind side I've watched loads.

Seen most John Grishams at least a few times.

A time to kill is too upsetting for me.

Couldn't get into reasonable doubt, in a tricky mood I think.

The King on Netflix. Really enjoyed it

Not 90s but olympus has fallem classic action on prime

Handsome Devil
Feel good, without being totally naff.

Oh, it's British too and has a brilliant soundtrack.

If you want something more gripping, as you said though, Capote, or True Story.
All on Netflix

Bridge of Spies - Tom Hanks and Mark Rylance - really good IMO. On Netflix.

The survivalist

Silkwood
Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri
The Pursuit of Happyness
The Big Short

The king - bloody great

Just watched Reasonable Doubt as a result of this thread. Quite enjoyed it, with some twists and turns.

Last King of Scotland is a great film too.

The Imitation Game
Three Billboards
Spotlight

Margin Call. Superb film with an excellent cast.
