I'm so used to getting disappointed by a film that when one turns up that I actually enjoy I start using words like 'superb' when arguably 'good film' would suffice. Will check out 'The Wedding Guest'. Saw 'We Own The Night' over the weekend (available on Prime now). It was a good film and worth a watch.Originally Posted by Estoril-5
We watched Orphans on Friday evening (it’s currently available on IPlayer). Unquestionably dated and of its time but a really enjoyable watch all the same.
I wish I could say I enjoyed Dunkirk even half as much (Sunday’s viewing) All very nicely shot but didn’t find it very coherent at all. Not sure it was worth the effort and certainly not up to all the hype from a couple of years ago.
In the Sotadic Zone, apparently.
Watched One Night in Miami (on Amazon) last night
I really enjoyed it albeit my missus thought it was a little slow
Great acting. You won’t believe that the guy playing Malcolm X is a Londoner

I watched The Hill (the Sean Connery in a military prison one), which I recorded on a terrestrial channel recently.
Another film that's of its time, especially in its depiction of racism. Beautifully shot, and very claustrophic.
It's a good film and I'm glad I watched it, but I can't say I particularly enjoyed it.
The conjuring and the next three days I Really enjoyed recently.
I just finished watching Leave No Trace which is free on Amazon Prime at the moment. It's the story of a father and his teenage daughter who are living wild in the woods of Oregon. The reason they are doing this is gradually although not fully revealed throughout the film. It's understated, nicely shot, and very moving at the end.
For those of you with Netflix, we’ve just watched easily the very best film we’ve seen for years, if not decades - The Dig.
Stunning cinematography and Oscar worthy performances, in this film based on a true story. Much recommended, it’s an utter delight!

Is this the one about Sutton Hoo? I remember learning about this in school.
Got it on my list to watch.
Netflix true story doc- 3 identical strangers.
I watched Pascali's Island last night. Included with Prime. A good rather than a great film, maybe a bit too stately for its own good. The performance by Ben Kingsley, Charles Dance and Helen Mirren are all excellent.
That’s it! Enjoy!

Watched Vox Lux the other night and I’m not sure about it.
It’s a window into the the world of modern pop stardom with obvious hints to Lady GaGa and Madonna with a backdrop of teenage America school mass shooting so it’s not a happy go lucky romp but despite seeming a touch long it was an interesting window in the world of modern recording artists.
I watched a classic that has the complexity and unorthodox direction of many 1940s/1950s films and you're not likely to forget it in a hurry - 'Black Narcissus' from 1947.
Brilliant acting by Deborah Kerr and especially Kathleen Byron who plays the volatile nun driven to madness.
There's also an 18 year old English rose who would go on to be one of Hollywood's most famous actresses of her generation - she didn't have any lines in this film and was under a ton of makeup to pass her off as Indian.
Jean Simmons, in case anyone else is wondering, in the days before joining Kiss.There's also an 18 year old English rose who would go on to be one of Hollywood's most famous actresses of her generation
Just rewatched the girl with the dragon tattoo, brilliant
For any fans of the shining, I just watched dr sleep and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Breitling Cosmonaute 809 - What's not to like?
The dug is scheduled for this evening

The remake with Daniel Craig - I've watched and enjoyed both, but the English one was a little less effort as I don't have to read the subtitles at all times :P
Tried but I’m clearly too immature for such a film. Wife and I got 30mins into it & were bored beyond belief .The dug is scheduled for this evening

I appreciate your deadpan delivery, HT.
Watched Glengarry Glen Ross for the umpteenth time this evening. Absolutely brilliant film, the cast deliver some immense performances and the script is a work of art.
Greenland was a lot better than I anticipated, although a bit of 'suspend disbelief' required.
Watched The Wrestler again last night, great film.
Got into Korean films recently. Memoirs of a murderer is very good

Going through some classics while on Zwift. Last week it was 'A Few Good Men' and 'Zero Dark 30'. This week it's 'The Bourne Ultimatum'.
I need to find a series instead. Would be easier and less faffing.
Watched the Journeyman on 4od. Paddy Considine is a fantastic actor.
He's one of my all-time favourites, ridiculously talented.
He wrote and directed Journeymen, as well as starring!

Watched this trilogy on Netflix which we thought were good
The Invisible Guardian
The Legacy of the Bones
Offering to the Storm
Tune in for love
Slow paced but beautiful movie. I need to watch more Korean movies, they are definitely onto something there.
Not a movie but could have been as watched all 5 on the trot
Its a Sin
Totally brilliant in everyway

Watched News of the World last night on Netflix, quite an enjoyable watch, my kids who are in no way into Westerns also enjoyed it.
Yep I binge watched like a movie..... absolutely quality production and outstanding story telling
What is is showing on please?

Hillbilly Elegy was very good.
Just watched Balloon. Marvellous and easily on a par with Lives of Others.
Tom Hanks, News of the World.
I also watched News of the world, and also enjoyed it.
The Homesman with Tommy Lee Jones and Hilary Swank is a similar, if slightly grittier and less feel good Western. It's free on Prime at the moment.
Bit of a romcom the Mrs had on last night is the intern with Robert De Nero it was actually ok not my type of film but it was certainly watchable and kept the harmony to allow me to watch the boxing afterwards.
Edit to correct auto correct lol
That's a big claim, Lives of Others is an amazing film
Where do you see Balloon?
Watched Seven again... as heartwrenching as the first time
Watched “Tag” on Netflix last night. Quite funny, worth a hour and a half of laughs.
I paid for it on Amazon Prime. I appreciate it is a big claim but I genuinely think it is up there.
Thanks for that, I don't have Amazon but I'll keep my eye out for it
I must confess I enjoyed Baywatch (extended cut) free on Prime after slightly too many glasses of wine. I’m not sure I’d attempt it sober, but given the right state of mind it was a guilty pleasure.
Its a great film for what it is, the banter between the characters is fantastic and it definitely makes you smile.
Watched French drama 'Only The Animals' on Netflix last night. Highly recommended.
Some Voices - amazon prime - Daniel Craig plays a schizophrenic.
The film shows some good insights to the mental health issue and the depth of brotherly love.
The soundtrack is good with squeeze and alabama3 among the well placed songs
I actually laughed a couple of times during the film
