Movie recommendations

[screenexile]

Watched Parasite there and really liked it. Would highly recommend lots of laughs craziness and fairly deep issues in it as well. As good a film as I've seen in a long time!

Dunno if this should fall in with Movies or not but I watched the musical show Hamilton on Disney+ last week.  I didn't know a single thing about it before I sat down to watch it, but I was blown away.  I thought it a fantastic show.

+1

The guy who starred in and wrote the script, music and lyrics for the show, Lin-Manuel Miranda has won a Pulitzer Prize, three Tony Awards, three Grammys, an Emmy, and two Olivier Awards and has been nominated for an Academy Award.

My wee girl is a Hamilton nut so I took her to see it in London in Feb. I didn't go in.

I eventually was persuaded to watch the Disney Plus version. It was superb. The detail, the songs, the choreography. I can't get my head around how they made it work but they did.

Side note: The Hercules Mulligan in it is from Coleraine. Not the actor. Thee person.

Fool! We had tickets for it in July which obviously got binned. We watched it on Disney too and it was first class. I'll be back!

You'll be back, soon you'll see
You'll remember you belong to me
You'll be back, time will tell
You'll remember that I served you well
Oceans rise, empires fall
We have seen each other through it all
And when push comes to shove
I will send a fully armed battalion to remind you of my love!

Hamilton is the absolute peak of 21st century artistic achievement. The Disney+ version is astoundingly good, and it's not a patch on the stage show. Best play/show/concert I've ever been to and it's not even close.

Free state of Jones. Quite a good show and based on a true story.

On the BBC IPlayer now for a few days.
As you say "Quite a good show". I found the "true story" extraordinary. It's never once crossed my mind that there were people like that in the Confederacy.
Well worth a watch.

Prisoners on Netflix. Its nearly 2 and a half hours but it's really worth it. Fantastic show with great twists.

[Jell 0 Biafra]

Prisoners is a great movie.   And unlike many "twisty" movies (e.g., "Gone Girl"), it doesn't depend solely on the twists. The story is great, and it's really well acted.

Watched this the other night, excellent.

Everest is worth a watch too.

Been binging on 70's thrillers over Xmas

Mainly thrillers, watched Parallax view with Warren Beatty, haven't seen it in years!!

I'm not a fan of remakes but there are so many decent 70's thrillers which could be remade for today.

Trying to get my kids to watch a film that's older than 15/20 years is impossible!
