We fancy watching a decent film tonight, but the problem with the likes of Netflix and Amazon seems to be that the target audience is 14 year olds.
There should be a "show me things the over 45's might like" button (adverts for funeral plans maybe?)
So, what's something decent that stays in your mind for a while afterwards and absolutely doesn't have anyone who can fly in it? (to be fair, she likes that sort of thing but it makes my eyes roll so much I can't focus)
Thanks in advance, Fabbers.

I watched, Eight For Silver on Netflix the other night.
It’s a rather interesting period horror take on the werewolf story.
Very well made and it looks beautiful but somewhat overlong sadly.
Still well worth checking out though  |

I Care a Lot is on Amazon and is one of the darkest comedies you'll ever watch.
I always recommend Carol to anyone who hasn't watched it. It's thoughtful, it's sophisticated and it's incredibly beautifully shot.
Sound of Metal is a few years old now but I don't know anyone who has watched it and normally when I mention it I'm met with blank looks. It's about a drummer with hearing loss and is raw and thought-provoking and haunting.
Who You Think I Am is an odd film but I loved it. Starring the ever-luminous Juliette Binoche it's a great look at social media and the illusion of intimacy. |

I also watched The Iron Claw on Prime last night which was based on a famous wrestling family who faced tragic circumstances. So tragic the the director left out other bad parts. |

Brilliant shout 
Some of my favourite quotes come from that film. "
It's one of my favourite films, if not my absolute favourite. It just ticks all my boxes |

I've been meaning to watch that. Good to know it's on Amazon. Yeah one brother isn't in the film? |

Mr"
You’ve probably watched them, but two of my most favourite films of all time Shawshank redemption and the Green Mile |

That's right, I believe there were 6 brothers but the film only mentioned 5 |

This is what we went for, thank you so much! That was excellent. Just right for a Monday night; not too taxing, not too frivolous, held our attention all the way through and we really enjoyed it |

I really wouldn’t bother with Banshees, it’s on my top 10 bad film list, two hours of my life that I will never get back |

Ex Machina.
An incredibly deep film, and the sort you discuss for ages afterwards if you like mentally stimulating films that are thought-provoking and demand the audience gaze inwards at themselves.

"Bookmarking for tips.
The last film I watched and really enjoyed? Persuasion with Dakota Johnson.
But then I like lighthearted airy fairy rom coms so……"
I fancy that one, which platform is it on please? |
