"No matter how many times I watch it I still can’t believe how good it is.
What’s your favourite film that not that many people know about? "
I was literally looking at that on Netflix a minute ago but decided it probably needs more attention than I'm willing to provide right now.
Maybe during the week. |

"The Big Short is awesome.
Mine is Hi Fidelity. It’s my top film of all time 
^She's got a Cosby sweater."
Though that takes on a whole new meaning these days. |

The Dish i can watch over and over again.
The Station agent. The only film I've seen that really isn't easy describe. It has Peter Dinklage in it and he plays a midget or is it a dwarf? A short person. |

The Big Short was amazing!
My favourite film is a French film called La Haine. A day in the life of three guys in a Parisian ghetto amidst riots over police brutality. It’s a masterpiece. Pure and simple. |

I like Old Boy (Korean version). Not one I watch over again but it opened up a whole other of genre of film.
Arrival I just love that film makes me think about time and life.
The Martian and Hidden Figures are my go to when I want to watch something I just love.
I do like a cheesy disaster film too though. |

Brick. It’s a film noir with all the elements, the gumshoe infatuated with the victim, the femme fatale, the mysterious antagonist… but it’s set in a high school with teenagers. It’s completely brilliant, but I’ve never met anyone else who’s seen it. |

Not sure if not many people know about it but In Bruges is one of my favourite films ever. The language used hasn't aged well but it's a hilarious dark comedy that well worth a watch! |

Now you have. If this counts as ‘meeting’. |

The Big Short is fantastic, one of my fave films, takes a complex subject and makes it accessible without dumbing down
Love War Dogs, find it difficult to believe it's based on a true story! |

Ralph Fiennes was amazing in it as well. The amount of people I've called an inanimate fucking object is obscene |

Oh I absolutely love Brick. I was mildly obsessed with JGL after watching it.
So my films, all very different styles -
The Host.
A Single Man.
Tucker and Dale Vs Evil. |

That's one of the movies I buy. I don't leave that up to chance to fall on to a streaming platform and risk not being able to see it. |

Yep! That's what I had to do. It's one of my comfort blanket films. That, Midsommar and The Ritual. |

" Mine is Hi Fidelity. It’s my top film of all time "
High Fidelity is great! On a Nick Hornby theme, one of mine would actually be 'Fever Pitch', but the Arsenal fan in me probably makes me like that film more than others might!
Another would be 'Goodbye Lenin', which I'm a complete evangelist for... |

Closer - the 4 main characters played by Julia Roberts, Clive Owen, Natalie Portman and Jude Law have no redeeming features whatsoever but the dialogue is absolutely stellar. Massively underrated film.
Honourable mentions for A_elie, A Very Long Engagement and Sling Blade too. |

I loved The Big Short.
I'd say The Lobster (a brutally black comedy about societies obsession with dating and relationships) and Calvary (a very black comedy about Catholicism) didn't get enough attention. |

Not a favourite but -JOHN DIES AT THE END (brilliant spoiler alert for a title) was good enough for me to recommend here. Because I’m always surprised how this gem got under the radar.
 not many people knew about its existence. |

I'm going to give this a go now, seeing as I've currently very little to do.
I'm holding you responsible for this, Pickle, regardless of whether I like it or not. |

We saw the play in the west end long before the film… it’s a good film but the play was so much ore impacting
I used to lunch in the same “park” they meet in. It’s a beautiful “secret garden” like place in Smithfield’s called “the Rotunda” |

C here (male).
Big short. Agree a super super film.
Tonnes of well known films. Obviously we will all have loads of them.
But “understated success”: I loved “13 hours: secret soldiers of Benghazi”. (On sky download now-very shooty to be warned). Got hammered because of people were being snobby towards Michael Bay.
But as ever - each to our own.

I'd have loved to see the play!
I'll have to look up the garden next time I'm in London |
