Got a bit of time on my hands at the moment after surgery so thought I’d watch some films whilst recovering.
Currently watching Star Wars a new hope for about the 50th time.
Though I never get bored of it or a bit of Bond (Man with the Golden Gun being my fave), Taken, Jaws, Due Date and Shawshank it does feel like i’ve been out of the loop for new films since they stopped selling new releases at the local Sainsburys about 3 years ago.
Has anyone got any recommendations?
Other than Rom Coms I don’t think there’s a genre I don’t like.

Event Horizon. If you like sci-fi horror. Cracking film in my opinion.
Good to see you have Jaws up there. Possibly my favourite film of all time. That and Duel. A remarkable film considering the 100k budget..

Remember as a little nipper being terrified watching it. Never trusted truck drivers ever since 😆 |

Defo worth watching if you like those type of films |

The Boys from Brazil also |

On the subject of Gary Oldman being generally outstanding in everything he does, my recommendation goes for: Leon.

Saw it at the cinema when it came out and came out devastated after the ending which I think caused me to be traumatised for a week. A really underated and excellent film is “Foxcatcher. “ Absolutely brilliant acting from all the leads especially Catrell. |

I will have a look at Foxcatcher… another classic is Manhunter which was the first film of Hannibal Lecter played by Brian Cox (more menacing). Based on the book Red Dragon. |

I've heard others say it’s decent but your recommendation has tipped the balance for me to watch 🙂 I love all four of his films, might watch it myself now actually. I’d also forgotten I’d seen one of his plays in London with Jim Broadbent and Phil Daniels. It was absolutely brilliant. |
