Yeah definitely, me as well. I've gone back into movies over TV Shows atm too

[ChristmasNeeve]

I was really tired last night so I didn't watch any films, I'm going to put Eighth Grade on at lunchtime and I'll watch the other one tonight because Gavin would probably watch that one

...he might enjoy Eighth Grade as well, I wasn’t sure that it would be my OH’s thing but it so was....he was completely absorbed with both movies...I was tired as well actually and probably shouldn’t have binged them both but I just about managed to stay awake...(...I think......)...

[ChristmasNeeve]

Which one was better would you say?

[Ammi]

....ooooo, that’s difficult...they’re so completely different...Eighth Grade is an excellent ‘coming of age’ take, it’s so well done and for some reason it had a little ‘My Girl’ aspect to it for me...but yet, completely different as well....


...U Want Me To Kill Him?...is a true story that was apparently huge but I completely missed it and it’s fairly WOW all of the way through...it’ll really get your thoughts going about internet, I think ....

...U Want Me To Kill him, well hold you spellbound so I guess that one...but both excellent....

[ChristmasNeeve]

I'll stick to my plan so and watch Eight Grade at lunchtime and the other later because we'll probably only watch one film tonight

[Ammi]

...next time you get a chance to movie watch with your daughter, Eighth Grade will be great for a rewatch as well...well, you’ll see at lunchtime...I think it would be an easily watchable again movie...and ugggghhh, some of the cringe moments, we’ve all been there...

[Ammi]

...well not exactly there but, you know.../teenage angst...

[ChristmasNeeve]

I'm looking forward to it now

[ChristmasNeeve]

Eighth Grade -

Spoiler:

ah I loved this, poor Kayla, you really felt everything she was going through. That creepy high school guy as well yuck. Loved Olivia and her dad oh and Gabe too, they're date was so cute. Good choice Ammi

Spoiler:

...it was a lovely movie, wasn’t it...I can’t recall the names of the mean girls, I think it was Kennedy whose birthday it was and her thoughtless friend... the way they just totally blanked Kayla like she didn’t exist...but yeah, I loved Olivia as well, she was just so representative of how ‘cool’ is on the inside and a positive outlook, not an exterior thing or being part of a group, you know...and Kayla’s dad and how he wanted to be mother to her as well and spent time learning about stages she would go through.....the love he had for her was just gorgeous and tremendous, that scene with the banana was so funny and oh, you don’t like bananas though...and he actually had put it down in a note that she didn’t like them so he didn’t make that mistake again.....I did cringe though, completely...when he was ‘spying’ on her in the shopping mall when she met with Olivia and co...that would have been me also...OMG, my dad...just devastating......and Gabe...adorable...also not realising how ‘cool’ he was just by being so individual and quirky....a lovely movie.....

...we watched The Mauritanian last night...so many true stories that I haven’t known...horrendous beyond any words... Mohamedou Ould Slahi is the most incredible and forgiving of human beings......

Absolutely horrendous what went on there though. I don't know why these people who run these places think they're any better than even the real terrorists nevermind the innocent people who end up there

Uwantme2killhim :

Spoiler:

what a strange story, I think it was pretty obvious from early on that Mark was being catfished and John seemed the only choice as to who it was. It's funny, when Mark called to John's house and you briefly saw his mother in the kitchen Gavin said was that Rachel? We rewound it and all but couldn't decide it was a good show though, I was saying to Gav, this is probably the future of true stories

I just watched a film called Run Ammi, I think you'd like it

...so at the end, was Chloe medicating her mother in the same way so that she would stay in the correction centre forever and Chloe would be safe...(...and she was probably killing/poisoning her as well, she had aged so much in 7 years...)....

Spoiler:

I thought it was revenge, do to her what she did kind of a thing?

I also watched another Chadwick Boseman film Message from the King, it was good too

[Ammi]

...it was very creepy anyway...that one and Greta...


...yeah, I’ve looked at Message from the King many times but haven’t got round to actually watching it so that can be my Easter treat, I’ll try to watch it today and post a review...thank you for reminding me to do that......

[ChristmasNeeve]

I haven't watched Schlindlers list yet, was planning to last night but it got too late and it's a long film, there's a match on tonight so will probably watch it tomorrow night instead.

I see In the name of the Father is on Netflix as well, great movie and i'd love a rewatch?

...I was going to mention that to you because yeah, I’m not actually even sure that I’ve seen it at all tbh...so that can be the next one after Schindler’s List...but in general there seems to be quite a few Classics on Netflix atm, I think they’re checking our thread...so I’ll try to get time to go through them and list some because now would be a perfect time to watch some more classics if there is a good choice atm...

In the Name of the Father is excellent, dying for a rewatch of that, kind of in a similar theme to The Mauritanian too

[Ammi]

...ok, these are some of the older but newly added movies..some I’ve watched but would be fine for a rewatch and some I think that I might have watched but don’t recall actually watching...in no particular preference order etc...


Cast Away
Atonement...I’m pretty sure that we had that on the list but it wasn’t showing at the time...
The Game...I’ll try to find a trailer for that because I don’t recall it at all...
Nell...I’m pretty sure that I’ve seen but can’t recall anything about it...
The Time Traveller’s Wife...not sure about this but might be worth a rewatch to decide...
Death Becomes Her...just fun...
The Hitcher
Twister...I’ve probably watched it around 6488576 times so another watch would be fine...
Ai Artificial Intelligence...I actually can’t recall much about that one either...I know the basic plot but the details, I don’t recall...
Zombieland...also fun...

That is an excellent movie.

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

Saving Private Ryan could be one to watch.
I've never seen it, but mum loved it.
