Which films should I watch…..
Jump to: Newest in thread
….over Christmas? I’m single and going to be on my own for two whole days. Not a plea for sympathy - I’m very happy that way!
I’m seeking suggestions for a movie marathon. Trilogies would be good. No Christmas movies though. Go for it my forum friends!
Thanks in advance. |

All the Sharknado movies in order, followed by Monty Python, Crank and The Transporter movies...maybe...stick Die Hard in there for something Christmasy too |

Some Great War films about
Full metal jacket
Apocalypse now
Letters from Iwo Jima & flags of our fathers
Das boot
Hacksaw ridge
Dads Army 
Or you can try some of the excellent true story films
Hidden figures
The straight story
A beautiful mind
Maybe go world cinema
Once were warriors
Rabbit proof fence
The dish
Old boy
Lady vengeance
Mesrine
Run Lola run
Day watch & night watch
If you like an intense film, I think Iplayer might still have Whiplash available... might also be worth seeing if The Detectorists is also on there for something a little lighter (it’s a series though, not a film- but the best thing the beeb have done in a decade)
Will have a think of a few more while I’m outside

It a shame you don't want Christmas movies, I would have recommended Home Alone. 
Godfather 1,2,3.
Bad boys
The dark Knight trilogy.
Sex and the city 1,2.
Expendables 1,2,3
Star Trek got at least 12 films.

You could go to IMDB and start at the top of the all time best movie list. Some you’ll easily find on streaming sites, others maybe you’ll have to Google.
My advice is if you really want to sit and actually watch the film, not play on your phone as it’s playing in the background, watch some Black and White films or older classics. For example,
Angels with dirty faces B/W
Casablanca
The African Queen
Or even Lawrence of Arabia
If you don’t fancy the classics, maybe world cinema some of those subtitled films.
The lives of others or my favourite Cinema Paradiso.
Don’t just look at modern Hollywood films, go back in time (admittedly Back to the Future trilogy is good) or go abroad and discover classics.

Another vote for Dogma.
Jojo Rabbit.
If it's full binge though, I'd go for a long boxset rather than movies. Something like Boardwalk Empire or Sopranos. |

To be fair I haven’t seen one in a while, but those early ones were great. |

I watched Wrath of Man last night... Jason Stalham... wasn't too bad... but I'm a Guy Richie fan anyway... |

I think you could be right. I don’t normally have the attention span for movies but I can easily binge 12 hours of a box set! Weird I am.
Was thinking of re-watching breaking bad but I’ve never seen the sopranos (I know, I know, I’m the only human who hasn’t). Is it on Netflix/prime? |
