Films of the month

I strong recommend three films. Neither is exactly a new film but they are great pieces of film making and excellent acting.

1.) The Imitation Game

2.) Searching for Bobby Fisher

3.) The Darkest Hour

Re: Films of the month

1) Soul
2) Superintelligence
3) nothing else so far but we're only two days into the month. I'll add one when I find another I like.

'Hope Gap' (Netflicks)

Starring Bill Nighy, Annette Bening and Josh O'Connor.

A miserable little story about the break up of a marriage but is so well acted. Forget about your Tom Cruises and your George Clooneys, this is proper acting.

Re: Films of the month

I agree about not needing a Tom Cruise or George Clooney , but I'll pass on the film "Hope Gap". A film about a marriage break up is too depressing for me.

Re: Films of the month

I certainly wouldn't recommend it to anyone going through a break-up.

Re: Films of the month

I'm gonna watch that tomorrow, I'll let you know my verdict

Re: Films of the month

I like the look of Imitation Game, it's got a good rating on IMDB too.

Re: Films of the month

As a Brit, I imagine you would also love "The Darkest Hour".
Gary Oldman does a superb job in the role of Sir Winston Churchill during May of 1940 when he 1st stepped into soul crushing job as a war-time PM.
Gary Oldman certainly convinced me that I was actually watching the real Churchill.

I loved the ending where a member of parliament asks Halifax , "What just happened". And Halifax replied, "Winston mobilized the English language and sent it into battle".
Wow, that gave me goose bumps.

Re: Films of the month

I just watched "Green Book" on Netflix . What a fascinating tale it was and apparently true.

Time just flew past, really well done. Didn't know any of the actors but it was terrific.

Re: Films of the month

Don't bother with Wonder Woman 1984 because it's a pile of crap. The actors are very likeable but the script, plot and action scenes are poor.
