See 2 Comments(Netflix) Super animation about the Mitchell family (not the ones in Eastenders) who find out they are the last people on earth, not captured or destroyed by the machines. It doesn’t matter what your age you will enjoy it. Clever, funny, even sad at times. Don’t miss it, the music is great too

See 5 CommentsSweet and heartfelt , funny and ironic , this film is about a 12 year old Jewish lad whose Bar Mitzvah is planned for the day of the 1966 cup final. We laughed out loud as he prays and tries to jinx or curse the England team hoping they won’t be in the final. But of course we know they will be. With Helena Bonham Carter as his Mum, Eddie Marsan as his Father, and Catherine Tate as his Aunt, it couldn’t go far wrong. Clever and witty, give it a watch on one of these awful rainy afternoons . It brightened our day!

See 3 CommentsMost of us have heard of Jackie Weaver but did we know how well known she is in the film world and how she can still sing even now in her 70’s No not that Jackie Weaver of course This film is a must watch - a gospel singing Mother estranged from her gay son is left his drag club after he overdoses and dies. Enlightening, funny and very touching . Love the song at the end https://youtu.be/5u2I2khC6-c

See 2 CommentsLast days on Netflix Being removed on 31st May Fantastic spoof sci fi adventure Real ‘aliens’ approach the actors from Galaxy Quest believing them to be true space travellers. Ideal watch on a rainy day ‘Never give up, Never surrender’

See 2 CommentsA courtroom drama, I only watched this due to Sacha Baron Cohen being in the cast, and found the first few minutes difficult due to background music, then , all of sudden it came to life. I would highly recommend it. Based on a true story ‘ In 1969, seven people were charged by the federal government with conspiracy and more, arising from the protests at the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago’ On Netflix . Don’t miss it.

See 1 CommentA strange, sometimes hilarious, at other times hideous, Danish comedy drama. Two brothers travel to a remote island in an attempt to find their Father. They discover a horrible and bizarre truth.

Sweet film about the growing respect between two Indian men as one (a former Doctor) diagnosed with dementia, hires the other (a tuk tuk driver) to take him across the country to places he lived, studied and worked during his life. The Doctor is a Hindu and the driver a Muslim. They learn about each other’s past and each other’s cultures . Sad at times but heartwarming in places. Worth watching 🎥

Now on Netflix this Spanish film with subtitles is a romantic comedy , sweet with a great message. Grandma is her 70’s announces she is going to get married which sparks bewilderment and chaos amongst her family . Recommended by my eldest daughter as she still recovers at home from her operation in 2020! Unique and beguiling 🙂

See 6 CommentsNatalie, played by Rebel Wilson, is knocked unconscious during a mugging. She wakes up to find herself in an alternative ‘Rom Com Universe’. Her worst nightmare. She is now the leading lady in a romantic, real life comedy. A parody of Romantic comedies. The ideal film to brighten up a dreary stuck at home day. It’s far fetched, ridiculous, over the top and corny and at times hilarious. It appealed to my silly sense of humour and we laughed out loud. Look out for the karaoke scene . Give it a try. 10 out of 10 for fun. On Netflix now

Netflix 2020 Amy Adams, Glenn Close, Gabriel Basso. Directed by Ron Howard. A touching American drama based on the memoirs of the same name. Thought provoking, poignant, at times tough and violent, with scenes of drug abuse. Full of flashbacks and at times even difficult to watch . Glenn Close as you have never seen before. There’s no glamour involved. She is the star that makes the film and saves the day. What I loved was the end where they showed the real people and updated what happened next .

See 2 CommentsBased on the Enola Holmes mysteries by Nancy Springer, Enola, younger sister of Sherlock and Mycroft uses her own sleuthing skills to help the young Viscount Tewsbury when setting out to look for her missing mother (played by Helena Bonham Carter). Enola played by Millie Bobby Brown, outsmarts her brothers in a tale of intrigue and mystery. Beautiful settings, lovely cinematography, filled with fun, foolishness but with some violence. We really enjoyed it. Quite charming.

See 8 CommentsA surprisingly atmospheric and ethereal Oscar winning film set in the 1960’s. A mute cleaning lady makes a life changing discovery while working at a high security government lab. At times cruel and almost crude it is also poignant with an unusual love story within it. Powerfully acted it is a fantasy not to be missed. On Channel 4 last night . Did any other members see it? If you did what were your thoughts?

See 1 CommentOn Netflix a 2016 French film. Subtitled and brilliant. Clever. Interesting. Thought provoking , ironic and funny https://youtu.be/gXtvFqPQwR0 The subject antisemitism - a man obsessed with Jews . Doesn’t seem a funny subject. Watch it and see, I would be interested to hear others opinions of it.

See 1 CommentHaving found this in a batch of books I have recently been given I thought with its small print and 400 pages I might find it hard going. Couldn’t have been further from the truth. I was hooked from the start. The night a Doctor delivers his wife’s twins but she only takes home one, the boy. She is told the girl has died, but her husband holds a dark secret. I was mesmerised , and as Jodi Picoult says ‘simply beautiful’.

See 4 CommentsHas anyone else seen this ? Based on a true story (ish) and adapted from a book. The first black African American Detective of the Colorado police department teams up with a Jewish Colleague to infiltrate a group of white supremacists Starring John David Washington (yes, Denzil's son) And Adam Driver Set in the 1970's and pitched against the realities of the present. I found it intense, thought provoking, suspenseful, moving at times and surprisingly witty. Many critics sighted the last few minutes as unnecessarily political - after main film ended! Two and a quarter hours long, flew by - Give it a try!

In the hope of waking this group up (sadly moderator doesn’t seem to be around) I thought I would post something - a musical choice of mine, coming from comments after a quiz on another thread. Maybe a strange or at least unexpected liking or choice for someone of my age group. The Blind boys of Alabama https://youtu.be/WbsJds6Tw08 Would any other members like to share their unusual or maybe unexpected choices of music?
