Ham Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 I've said it before but Silicon Valley is probably the best and most underrated comedy series there is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love this show! Equally as underrated, in my opinion, is Superstore. It took me a little while to get into it, but once I did I loved it! Another brilliant recent comedy that probably isn’t underrated and is very good is Schitt’s Creek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I loved about Madmen was its incredibly detailed and intelligent analysis of the style and manners of the time. At every turn we are immersed in the anachronistic attitudes and behaviours, but the touch is light and there is an absence of judgement, almost like a documentary about the extraordinary lives of the characters in the most extraordinary of times. The female actors were particularly brilliant I thought. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaneB Posted February 1, 2023 Author Share Posted February 1, 2023 I watched a few episodes of Only Murders In The Building at my daughter's and once you understood the premise it was hilarious. Meryl Streep's in the third series so that's a must for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sciatika Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 (edited) Some great footage of the Bridge in 1945 with Chelsea beating Millwall to winning the Cup Final South at Wembley (also losing to Bolton in the the Cup Winners Cup).

We are just a small club! Still hold the all time attendance record for extant league grounds - 82,905 v Arsenal in 1935 I think. Only Man City at the now defunct Maine Road and Spurs at Wembley are higher. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sciatika Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 I have been looking around for the 1930 film of the same name starring John Batten. No joy so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chara Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 Ok..a call to the Macho guys and tough ladies. I consider myself a "sensitive soul" or as MrsC puts it "You are a Woose..plain and simple". There are certain moments in movies that on occasion bring a hint of moisture to my eyes..sometimes maybe a little more than a hint. Some examples...many years past I watched "Forest Gump" for the first time on a flight to UK across the Atlantic...moisture ensued..three weeks later on the return flight..same movie same reaction. We watched it again a weekend or so past...guess what? Another would be "Second Hand Lions"....every time at the end.....my last offering.."Quigly Down Under"..surprised?...some wonderful quotes..but...before Quigly rides off for the final shootout etc..."You sure look pretty in the morning sun"...sniff and quick wipe. NOW...anyone brave enough to reply? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Singleton Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 The only time I've cried watching a film was Avatar... and that was only at the thought of the money I'd wasted and the time I'd never get back! 😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoiler alert!!! Fortunately I’ve seen it and it does bring a tear to the eye. Had a go at metal detecting with a mate for a bit and what they find (the crappy stuff) and their reactions to it are spot on! Never found any treasure so I’m not sure what that’s like.

NOW...anyone brave enough to reply? Plenty of films have brought on the waterworks for me! I defy anyone not to blub at "Who Will Love My Children?" - a true story. Schindler's List was so powerful that the whole cinema sat stunned and tearful through the whole credits until the lights came on. Love Story, Turner & Hooch, Gorillas In The Mist, Sophie's Choice, Steel Magnolias, The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once TJ Miller left that's when I felt it sort of stumble more. But yeah, didn't have a resolved ending and probably deserved better but that's how it goes I guess.

chara Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 Quick follow up to the tears thread. Short very understated dignified farewell today at Fort Logan National Cemetary. They played Taps...I cried. Back to the silver screen...Seinfeld....Kramer and Newman in the Post Office vehicle and soda cans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sciatika Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 For me, it is often films where characters go through great hardship or sacrifice for the benefit of others. I suppose that's because I was brought up to think that Shackleton was a hero because he risked his life to rescuse his shipmates where Scott was a bit of a prat.
