Dh and I are having a quiet NYE in tonight. We'd like to watch a film that we may have missed this year (not big cinema-goers). We have access to Freeview, Netscape and Amazon. We like comedy and drama. Dislike horror and violence (me, anyway!).

What do you suggest?

If you can stream it, Now You See Me, Now You Don’t is available.

Damsel is amazing, I’d highly recommend it.

The Ballad of Wallis Island
I Swear

titchy · 31/12/2025 18:21

Wonka? Grand Budapest Hotel?

AnnaQuayInTheUk · 31/12/2025 18:22

We watched I Swear last night - lovely film.

We are planning on watching A Real Pain tonight

We watched The Great Escaper on Boxing night it was about the man who "escaped" his care home to go the D Day celebrations, it was delightful without being to twee, it is on iplayer.

The Life of Chuck

in which December 31st is highly relevant.

higff · 31/12/2025 19:26

I watched a film called eternity the other day and it was brilliant

Daytimetellyqueen · 31/12/2025 19:46

I Swear is excellent. Wicked Little Letters was also very good, very funny!

IbizaToTheNorfolkBroads · 31/12/2025 19:53

If you havn’t seen it - Sully - is excellent.

ETA - even though it’s a few years old

Coffeeishot · 31/12/2025 19:54

Is I swear on prime? I don't have netflix and it had limited showing at my cinema and I missed it.

NellieJean · 31/12/2025 20:14

A Simple Favour. I’ve only just seen it even thought it’s been out for years. Anna Kendrick is fab.

Pandorea · 31/12/2025 20:20

I think A Real Pain was my favourite film of this year.

Just finished watching this. I said comedy. This was lovely - but 😭

We watched a film.my sister recommended 'the Holdovers' on Netflix.
Was really good, a little like Dead poets society but not as sad!

I thought it was awful - so depressing! Appreciate it got great reviews but not my cup of tea at all & certainly not Christmassy!
