      Over the weekend watched Atlas Shrugged, the 3 part mini series. Never fancied reading the book which t'other half has/had (written in 1957) but enjoyed the modern version (2011, 2012 and 2014 ... and beyond!)

        I haven't seen Straight Outta Compton but I love NWA. Must see this.

        I watched the remake of The Taking of Pelham 123. Not as bad as most remakes as it happens.

        I'm gonna be a bit of a bore here but I watched " The man who knew too much " the other day.

        James Stewart is probably my favourite actor of all time and Hitchcock is just fantastic, plus in this one you've got Doris Day showing she can do serious acting as well.

          I thought that was the film where Jimmy Stewart throws a party and finds out two of his guests are murderers.

          What was that film called? I'm sure Hitchcock made that too...

            Hi Jane, that would probably be "Rope ", another Hitchcock.

              Watched the revenant on the weekend, brilliant directing and acting.. storyline was slightly poor but I did really enjoy it, few big and rising stars in there. Must for Di Caprio fans.
              Watched Hateful 8 week before, as for a Tarantino I don't think it was that good a film tbh and I bum Tarantino big time!

              Yeah thats it. Didn't realise it was filmed in the 1940s.

              God it was one of the dullest Hitchcocks I've seen to date.

                  I'm really into Film Noir and this is one of my favourite lesser-known B noirs. The whole film is on YT as well.

                    I have just watched the latest documentary film on ME called "Forgotten Plague - M.E and the future of medicine"

                    They have made it available to view for free this weekend and it is absolutely fantastic. Its easy to understand and covers all the research history and what is being researched and some sufferer stories. The sufferers include all ranges from mild to very severe which was fantastic.

                    I cant explain how great this is and how grateful i am it exists. Im currently a crying mess after watching it but im filled with so much hope.

                      Well it's not a film but I've just discovered The Good Wife on Netflix. It's good if you like legal/courtroom type programmes.
