Movie Recommendations?
« on: July 30, 2016, 21:47:38 PM »
Can anyone suggest some really good films (current or otherwise) they would recommend?

We have Netflix and Amazon Prime Video - thousands of films and no idea of what to watch.

Just good tales, based on true stories perhaps - not into Sci-fi or love stories   ;) But like a strong recommendation of any sort

Thanks!

Shawshank Redemption
Gran Torino
The Green Mile

All of which I thought were 'not my type of movie' when OH brought the DVD's home, but really enjoyed them.

Intouchables. My daughter recommended it recently and we loved it.
Its French with subtitles but dont let that put you off.
The Fundamentals of caring is also excellent.

Also loved the Intern.

And if you like a tearjerker ( unlikely..) then Me before you.

"Lost for words" - Thora Hird and Pete Postlethwaite.  Humour tinged with a little sadness, great film.
