What do you mean by 'good'?

innapropriate · 01/01/2009 19:37

I'm not sure really, interesting I suppose.

Both of the ones I've seen finish with the woman on top.

I am feeling very uncomfortable about this thread.

NomDePlume · 01/01/2009 19:40

why do you want to watch this ?

innapropriate · 01/01/2009 19:40

Sorry, good was the wrong word to use.

I don't really want to go into it fully at the moment but I felt a bit better after seeing those two. I'd like to see similar movies.

Err, there's Nil By Mouth (Gritty), Whats Love Got to Do With it (Tina Turners life) and The Colour Purple (Daughter pregnant by Dad - Steven Spielburg was it, director not the Dad I mean?)

confusedandangry · 01/01/2009 19:42

Nil By Mouth not very inspirational though it has to be said.

innapropriate · 01/01/2009 19:42

I've seen a bit of the tina turner one. I'll check out the others. Thanks.

Why would you want to watch them though, hardly a rip roaring night in.

NomDePlume · 01/01/2009 19:43

Surely if you are experiencing something similar in RL then you need to take steps to remove yourself/resolve the situation rather than watching films about it ?

JustAnInnocentBystander · 01/01/2009 19:45

WomensAid link here, which lists films with a DV theme.

NomDePlume · 01/01/2009 19:46

why have you chosen that particular username ?

JustAnInnocentBystander · 01/01/2009 19:47

Are you talking about 'inapropriate'? I was wondering that too....

NomDePlume · 01/01/2009 19:47

Yes.

innapropriate · 01/01/2009 19:47

This has been my username since I joined ages ago.

Thanks innocentbystander.

I have a million and one alarm bells ringing but I'm trying to ignore them.

southeastastra · 01/01/2009 19:48

the true movie channel has about twenty a day

JustAnInnocentBystander · 01/01/2009 19:49

Well I thought it was spelt 'Inappropriate' which is bothering me..plus its a tad worrying bearing in mind the OP.

dietstartstomorrow · 01/01/2009 19:50
