Watched Saipan. I really enjoyed it. Read some reviews that said a lot of it was all made up but in fairness it seemed to pretty much sum up what happened. Nearly 25 years later it's still annoying thinking of what might have been.

A similar film that I also really enjoyed was Giant. It takes Brendan Ingles side of the story and Prince Naseem and in particular his brother come across very poorly in it

I Swear, on Netflix, is a decent watch. Heartbreaking at times but also some great humour.

Live staging of it didn't go down so well.

No, and the irony of that considering what the film is trying to achieve.

The fella playing him is exceptional in it. He's the young Ned Stark in the flashback scenes in GOT

Yes. He's decent in Rings of Power too

Mentioned already, but Nuremburg is exceptional.

Netflix film Carry-on with Elton John Taron Egerton is quite good.
