Green book is excellent. Thoroughly enjoyed it

Agreed. Great show

Couple of years late on this , watched it there last night, really enjoyed it

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

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.

Milltown Row2

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!

Interesting you say that as I watched Papillion over Christmas and I only found out they made a remake with Remi malek a few years back, I'll have to get watching it

STREET FIGHTER

Managed to take in a few movies over the holidays...

1.  Jack Reacher-     6.5/10
2.  Jack Reacher 2-  6.0/10
3.  Knives Out-          6.5/10
4.  The Gentleman-   7.0/10

See the good reports on Prisoners so must give it a try.

Any other recommendations folks?

The Gentlemen scoring higher than Knives Out, which scored the same as Jack Reacher. WTF are you smoking?

In fairness Knives out could have been a 7....

Quite start/stop as I couldn't get the kids settled.....

Suppose it depends on the nights they were watched!

Jack Reacher and The Gentlemen etc. are very forgettable.  Some short independent films on Netflix that are decent viewing, such as Thunder Road or Shimmer Lake.  I'm going on the assumption you have seen all the well known good ones like Warrior, The Town etc.

Watched Wonder Woman 1984 the other night. It was okay but not as good as the first. 6.5/10.

Due to lack of releases this year it has been a struggle to see anything decent that I haven't seen before. Watched The Truman Show again for first time since the cinema and really enjoyed it.

Go back to the 70's, some serious films, even late 50's watched 12 angry men always good. Watched Lifeboat recently also, Hitchcock classic.
