šŸ“ŗ Freeview Films For The Week šŸ“½

Spotlight is just one of those modern day films, similar to Margin Call, I could watch every time I see itā€™s on. Big topics, but told in a intimate and subdued way. The brilliant cast helps as well.

Might check this out. I would have preferred a 90 minute documentary but this might be good.

Not being much on + already watched most of those = Mommy as the only thing iā€™ll be recording.

Never seen Chef but I hate it

Mommy is ace tl

I saw Chef it was not good.

Off that list for me Iā€™ll be tempted with (re) watches of District 9 and Grand Budapest Hotel. It Follows was decent but not sure how well itā€™d fare in a rewatch.

I think It Follows will hold up really well, I hatd Grand Budapest though

You reckon? Maybe so. Only one way to find out I guessā€¦:wink: Tbf it was a good few years ago since I watched it.

Only just spotted Happy Death Day was in the list. That was a pretty fun watch iirc, and Iā€™ve still not got around to watching the sequel.

I hate any Anderson film so it didnt surprise me

Happy Death Day is fun! Liked that but it defo didnt need a sequel

Ah fair enough.

It is right! At first I was really unsure but really really enjoyed it.

Yehh I think thatā€™s probably why I havenā€™t rushed to watch the sequel, just cause it stands alone so well. Not going to rush to watch it just yet, got plenty on my list from recent adds to Shudder & Prime and ofc Mubi now :slightly_smiling_face:

Oh yeah, you seen owt on Mubi yet? Its put a good un on today

I have, Iā€™ve watched a couple of shorts and then finally got to watching A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night. :slight_smile:

Oh is that the film of the day one? The 10th Victim? Just been having a quick look on the app and looks like that will be a decent watch. Iā€™ve got a good few lined up on there I wanna watch though, a little spoilt for choice (which is a great problem to have haha).

I quite enjoyed it, it was not what I expected, but I wasnā€™t sure what to expect in fairness. Really appreciated the cinematography etc, it felt like it portrayed the ā€˜moodinessā€™ (not sure if thatā€™s the right word) really well.

The Innocents - Talking Pictures - 9th July

Bit late to recommend to anyone who hasnā€™t seen it before as itā€™s already been on tonight, but thereā€™s a reason why itā€™s considered to be one of the greatest horror movies of all time. Absolute classic of its genre.
