        Now for something completely different - Locke. It has only one actor on screen throughout, is filmed almost entirely in his cars cabin and the storyline is told through the phone calls that he makes/takes during a 90 minute car journey..................


        One of the best films in many a year :dbgrtmb:
        Available on Netflix.

        Reminiscent of the film "Duel" with Dennis Weaver.

        Except that there is no action.
        I watched it at about 3.30 this morning (couldn't sleep) and have just sat there with Sue and watched it again. She loved it too!

        Saw a good movie earlier on. Mrs Caldicot's Cabbage War, on ch5. Basically, it's about this woman (Mrs Caldicot - Pauline Collins) whose domineering husband dies, and her son has her put in a home, so that he can secure the family home. Definitely worth a watch, and a warning to us all, don't trust your kids! :biggrin:

                    I just watched episode one - really good. That said, Stephen Poliakoffs work is always good.
