films with some grit but not too dark - quirky and non American happy ending !

[Custardcreamsandbourbons]

Looking for film ideas for a Sunday afternoon interests are wide but just can’t find either a feel good or gripping film on any platform!

a lot of films on Netflix, Apple etc are too formulaic and just wind me up with their predictable ending - Looking for gems ! Love a quirky British

One of my favourites is This beautiful fantastic.

It's on iplayer currently.

[Aworldofmyown]

The Banshees of Inisherin.

[Bbq1]

Notting Hill

[Mrsjayy]

the best exotic marigold hotel is a perfect Sunday film, watch that.

[EdgarsTale]

Nyad is great with Jodie Foster & Annette Benning.

[AtomicBlondeRose]

Captain Fantatic with Viggo Mortenson - uplifting but not hokey. And not a superhero film.

[toomuchcardboard]

A couple of quirky but rather kinky films, so don't settle down to watch them with the kids!


Preaching to the Perverted
9 Dead Gay Guys

[DisplayPurposesOnly]

The Station Agent - isolated man inherits disused station, acquires friends despite himself. Quirky, lovely, mild grit. Peter Dinklage, Michelle Williams.

[Custardcreamsandbourbons]

gling to check all those ideas out !

[Custardcreamsandbourbons]

What! It's a great film... I've had to watch it a few times to really get it...but it's such a sweet film...the relationship between father and son is special...
And the quirky sister..
And of course it's set in Cornwall where I live so what's not to love!
(I do understand really..there's some films/books that everyone raves about but leave me cold) x

[Mrsjayy]

Dh really loves it and it's one of his go to films I'm not really keen on Domnal Gleeson as an actor maybe that's why I don't like it.

[vincettenoir]

Wild Rose springs to mind from that description. I really enjoyed it.

[MassiveOvaryaction]

Ds (14) and I watched Strays this afternoon. Completely nuts. I'm not sure what I was expecting but it wasn't that

[Custardcreamsandbourbons]

Watched Bromley boys a sweet story ! Enjoyed

[Needhelp101]

Pride. Very pertinent too at the moment with the memories of the miners' strike being in the news. Fabulous film.

[Mrsjayy]

pride is one of my favourites it's a fabulous film.

A non-American happy ending?

[Custardcreamsandbourbons]

@MsAmerica as I’m not the stereo typical American feel good film with a happy ending sweet home Alabama etc ..
