Movies for lockdown 3.0

Seems like such a genuine man in “real life” also. Not an arrogant w@nker like a lot of stars

A few good dramas we’ve watched lately -

Bombshell (based on the sexual harrasment at Fox News during Trump’s campaign)
On the Basis of Sex (story of Ruth Bader Ginsberg)

Another favourite of mine is Ip Man - the master of Bruce Lee, really entertaining martial arts movie.

Chernobyl if you want a binge watch, unmissable.

He’s lovely in any interview I’ve seen him in. Both he and my other favourite Jason Statham seem like really nice, genuine guys .
Certain loud mouthed or big headed stars can actually put me off watching a movie no matter how good the reviews.

@wildflower I know. I can’t watch Tom Cruise. Can’t stand him and don’t know why​:joy:

I have only been able to tolerate him in a handful of films! @Scottishfunk

I think there’s a smugness about him that irritates.

I’d recommend 1917, as its a great cinematic film, Parasite for the idea - I can’t say too much as it would give the plot away :zipper_mouth_face:

Glad you enjoyed it. It is a feel good movie for sure. Surprised it hasn’t received more marketing, I follow the movie industry quite closely, but this slipped under the radar completely.

I recently watched ‘Blame’ film from 2017, I thought it was about a teacher/student affair but it’s much more than that and left me absolutely shocked at the end! Defo worth a watch! All the music in it was unreleased music by small bands and each song fit the film so well!

A few years old now but was not aware of how good it was, come hell or high water. Gritty acting as in acting that makes the character more realistic, good story line depicting the lives of 2 sheriffs and 2 robbers. I really enjoyed watching it.

If you like horror, far and few to choose from now a day’s, unless you like the scream type horror. One’s I have watched and really enjoyed are,

The ring
It follows-Psychological Horror film
Annabelle the conjuring-Loosely based on actual events
The skeleton key-Very good underrated Psychological horror film
Trick R treat-Horror film with different stories that culminate into each other
US-An excellently acted horror film with an original story line.

Action films
Heat
Reservoir dogs
Pulp fiction
Casino
The goodfellas
No Country for old men-Underrated brilliantly made film

Just a few to be getting on with.
