Film Recommendations

Watched Project Hail Mary (Apple TV & Amazon Prime I think).

It’s Sci Fi and really not my sort of thing but it’s intriguing and funny and we both enjoyed it.

If you have Netflix watch Remarkably Bright Creatures
A good read as well 👍

Remarkably Bright Creatures starring Sally Field is quite a gentle film

I loved The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, and Darkest Hour, another Lily James film is very watchable too.

“Julie and Julia” starring Meryl Streep and Stanley Tucci is a good watch. It’s on Netflix.

The book it was based on is a cracker, Grammaretto.

I watched the Help recently which I enjoyed. It's over 10 yrs old now but good still.
Thanks for other recommendations too.

I binged a series on C5 called The Hardacres; Call My Agent (the original French version on Netflix); a golden oldie = Sabrina (with Harrison Ford).

Couldn’t find it on UK Netflix☹️

I enjoyed the new Spielberg film its worth seeing its 2 hours plus time wise .

What is it called?

It’s called Disclosure - given that it’s Spielberg, I told dh we should make an effort to see it.

If you have Prime Video I can recommend a quirky film called Cold Brook. I really enjoyed it.
On Netflix, if its still available try The Six Triple Eight or for something fun The Adam Project.
In eight episodes, The Residence, a murder mystery set in The White House.

Not a film but a glorious series on Netflix. Its a remake of Upstairs Downstairs, starring Keely Haws.

@MayBee70 I was going to say this, as I totally agree with you - especially bearing in mind the law in England at the time. However, the rest of the film is so good I can overlook it.

It’s called “Disclosure Day” starring Emily Blunt and Colin Firth. My friend enjoyed it - I thought it was self indulgent
Nonsense, and I adored Close Encounters, but not this one.

I think the Poster is wanting films she can watch at home whilst her husband is engrossed with the footie!
.

I have quite a lot of films on my sky q box that I have recorded - i make sure that "keep" is selected so they're not deleted.
i don't like many films which are on these days so i've recorded all the hobbit and Lord of the rings films plus Indians Jones and Harry potter too.
but as I also have various other programme series recorded I don't need to watch live tv very often.
and I've found itv x or bbc iplayer etc very good for watching drama series like poirot or midsomer murders.

Moonstruck with Cher and Nicholas Cage is a really enjoyable fil.

I recommend “The Dig”, if you haven’t already seen it.

And it’s got Johnny Flynn in it who I love ( albeit always getting annoyed when they always have to introduce unnecessary love stories into films). On the subject of Johnny Flynn I loved the adaptation of Emma with him in.

One of the best films I've seen is 'Lion' a true story, very moving. At the end in the cinema people stood up and clapped.
Dev Patel stars.

Another one of his is 'Slumdog Millionaire', another great film. Both older films and worth second viewings.

Other favourites are 'Bohemian Rhapsody' the story of Queen. And 'Rocketman' about Elton John's life.

'Lion' is the most beautiful story, I totally agree with you!

Yes. It’s lovely.

‘The Bird Cage’ with Robin Williams, Nathan Lane and Gene Hackman. It is hilarious and totally over the top!

I watched ‘The Choral’; lovely film.

Yes! Fabulous! The Bird Cage

Please look at Puzzle (2018) on Netflix.
Not so well know but I thought it was fantastic.
Agnes, taken for granted as a suburban mother, discovers a passion for solving jigsaw puzzles which draws her into a new world.

Otherwise, Local Hero is a great film.
Also Enchanted April - it's on YT

I’m planning to rewatch The Lord of the Rings trilogy but I’d like to buy the editors cut.

I love Erin Brockovich, a true story too.
