Go in then, give me your best one to save me an hour of searching 
A few provisions though:
- No Horror films
- No stoner/stupid comedies
- A good story with some humour in it
Think In Bruges, Seven Psychopaths, Snatch, Burn After Reading, JoJo Rabbit. Those kinds of films.
Hit me!  |

What streaming services do you have available? Or is that not a problem if you know what I mean. |

"Wrath of Man or The Gentlemen
I've watched both countless times.
A"
I watched The Gentleman a few weeks ago and loved it. Never heard of Wrath of Man but looks like typical Guy Ritchie |

It is. No humour though.
For Ritchie with a bit of comedy you could always watch his King Arthur flick. That's quite good as long as uou ignore the terrible Beckham cameo.

Ahhh right, I did hear bad reviews about King Arthur so kind of put me off at the time. |

It's better than the reviews, trust me. Some typical Ritchie humour and Charlie Hunnam is as good in it as he is in The Gentlemen.

"Ok, so no comedy, no action , no horror, and must be available on Netflix.
How about a cartoon? Soul is pretty good."
I don't mind action, but would like it to have a bit of humour in it as opposed to to all action fight scenes every 10 mins |

Brilliant film. Depp and Pacino at their best and it’s a true story. |

Horrors can be great, if done right. All these stupid jump scare ones people love (insidious, conjuring etc) are for kids. Anyone can make them.
Give some more creepy/unsettling one’s a go. I’d recommend It Follows and Hereditary |

"Try a film called drive, it’s not comedy though
I walked out the cinema 50 mins into this... i watched it last week again and thoroughly enjoyed it "
Whilst watching it feels like there isn’t a lot going on but when the song plays at the end I realised I needed a lie down, great film. |

If you can find it, The Straight Story.
True story about an old guy travelling across America to his brothers funeral- on a lawnmower. Doesn't sound thrilling, it's not got any car chases, sex scenes or fights in it, but it's beautifully written and acted.
Alternatively, A Single Man (Colin Firth & Julianne Moore). Again, brilliant script, exquisite set & styling, awesome soundtrack (Well you wouldn't expect anything less from Abel Korzeniowski)- a bit dark and a few twists to keep you hooked.
As you also mentioned In Bruges, Another good Colin Farrell film is Phone Booth- testing out the genre of can you hold almost an entire film in a single location...and doing it pretty well too
Or his In Bruges Co-star, Brendan Gleeson- The Guard. Pretty much hits the 'Good story with humour' request squarely on the head |
