Gosford Park on Netflix

[snowballer]

Just come on to Netflix. Such an oddly underrated film with an incredible cast, which I've wanted to rewatch for ages but has never seemed to be on any of the streaming services. Happily settling in now the kids are finally in bed!

I'll have a look. I know I enjoyed it but don't remember much about it. Clive Owen right?

And the rest!! See cast:

Thanks for recommending OP. It's a film I've wanted to watch, but never got around to

It is an impressive cast but...Clive Owen!

It’s a brilliant film

Maggie Smith is brilliant in it

its quite a long film, 2 hr 17 minutes

I fell soundly asleep while at the cinema with a pal watching it. I drooled on her shoulder. I was completely disorientated when I woke up, it was really weird. I have absolutely not a clue what it was about. Maybe I'll get on better watching it from the comfort of my own sofa

It’s on my list to watch when I have a craft project to do. Love it. Amazing it’s written by same person who wrote Downton

Great movie

My favourite film ever.

Ooh thank you. Need something to watch.

Off to bed with my iPad.

I've started it tonight too. I loved it years ago and surprisingly can't remember the ending.
Kids up and down so frequently interrupted so will wait till I get a couple of hours peace.

It’s mostly brilliant, like a sharper version of that awful, soapy pap Downton Abbey, but then it has that weird bit where Stephen Fry comes in as a comedy cop and it all goes a bit Fawlty Towers for a bit. I have to say Clive Owen strikes me as the least likely of 1930s manservants, but Eileen Atkins, Helen Mirren, and Emily Watson were so good.

Oh I loved that film!

Maggie Smith's line "well none of us will see it" is wonderfully withering.

(Something like that, anyway!)

I got bored with it when I first tried to watch but saw it last night from the bit with the 'murder' . Not very impressed TBH I reckon Downton is better.

Oh btw I know a nasty secret about CO.

Stephen Fry was channelling a french star Jaques Tati from many years ago, he was obviously meant to be a BIT inefficient. . The ending was strange indeed.

One of my favourites but I agree Fry felt like he didn’t belong in the film.

Helen Mirren is heartbreaking in her scene near the end with Eileen Atkins.

I watched the first 45 minutes when it was on Amazon, but found it impossible to follow with SO many characters...is there a point where it all becomes clear?

One of my favourite films - it's perfect to me. Thank you for this OP!

Yes, I love this film! I agree Fry is a weak link though.

One of the things I love about it is the number of characters, the amount of key dialogue which is just snatched moments amongst other noise and other characters' conversations, and that there's no real grand opening or finale. Such a great film.

Although it was rather spoiled on rewatching last night when I remembered Laurence Fox is in it!!

I was at a Q and A in Oxford where Robert Altman said he hadn’t realised that Stephen Fry would code as comic to UK audiences to the extent that he did, and that he’d been taken aback to hear us all laughing as soon as he appeared, before he said a word.
