AppyDAZE Posted March 13, 2020 Report Share Posted March 13, 2020 Got any good recommendations, OTIBers? Due to unforeseen circumstances, I'm going to have rather a lot of time on my hands for the next few months or so it seems. I'm particularly interested in British stuff, and anything from sort of late 1940s and after. Thrillers, psychological, horror, weird, b-movie budget and the like are my prefered, but I'll watch pretty much anything. Just watched "Psychomania" a terrific and silly bit of nonsense from the mid 70s, but good fun. Thanks all! (if I get any replies, of course :laugh:) PS, the BFI Flipside series is really, really good if you like unusual UK stuff like I do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also "Being There" - his best film I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just watched Le Mans 66 - really enjoyed it and I am not much of a car racing person but this was about the facinating ,and true, story of Ford v Ferrari.

swanker Posted March 15, 2020 Report Share Posted March 15, 2020 Bit of a random film on sky movies. "Will you ever forgive me" Pleasantly surprised and enjoyable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AppyDAZE Posted March 15, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2020 Thanks for some of the comments. Just watched a blu-ray of a film i last saw back in 1986.. Something Wild with Jeff Daniels, Melanie Griffith and Ray Liotta Excellent watch. Got a touch of the David Lynch (the best in my book) about it, and it's pretty funny but turns dark about half way in. I like it a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad it's not called Le Mans 55, because that would have to be a horror film. I've seen the actual footage on youtube and it is horrific and very sad stuff.

AppyDAZE Posted March 16, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2020 The boys in the striped pajamas I remember being good, but pretty sad. In fact, really sad.

Mr Roper Posted March 19, 2020 Report Share Posted March 19, 2020 Watched The Invisible Man ,and although it has some great reviews I though it was bang average . First half of the film was good and lots of suspense but seemed to lose its way as it went on . Only went to watch it because it has Elizabeth Moss in it .Who is very good in Hand Maids Tale .She was good in this but hampered by a daft at times plot .

Screenplay adapted from the actual minutes of the meeting, IIRC. The cold blooded and efficient nature of the discussions is incredible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pickle Rick Posted March 19, 2020 Report Share Posted March 19, 2020 It's always good to reference films via IMDB & Rotten Tomatoes. Scan through Netflix and you might find some surprisingly good films. I'm sure for many, it won't be as if you don't have the time to do it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
