Good movies?

[jave808]

Hi,
As the silly season approaches, many of us will have some time to spare. So, I thought to myself, what movies can people recommend to watch over the break?

Can be at the cinemas, or torrent download (if you can find it!), or on Netflix, Amazon Prime etc.

I personally like a good sci-fi movie. I especially like the Star Trek movies, but the latter ones disappoint. No Spock etc, and the newer movies rely too much on special effects, and don't have any "funny bits" in them.

Feel free to comment about any genre of movies that you wish!

Like the sci-fi as well and miss the funny bits in ST OG.   

Also, try Tubi, it's a cheap version of Netflix with ads.

Well, on Netfix, you have Star Trek Discovery, now in its third season, but I will watch anything thats star trek related.

There was on Amazon Prime, 1 x Season of Picard.

The Mandalorian on Disney+

Now lately its been a bit of a pick and choose, due to COVID affecting the Movie Seasons.  Cannot wait for the next Bond movie though.

Well after all that, didnt give you much, I will try better next time.

Did you end up selling your 48thread cpu system??

Cheers

The Expanse! The first season is a bit slow but it gets much better. The new season is about to start 16th Dec so you can binge watch.

I grew up with Star Trek and am a fan myself but I can't stomach the new series. Star Trek Next Gen would be my favourite series.
I've struggled to find some new movies to watch though.

The Platform on Netflix is a good movie (well I liked it enough to watch it twice) It's not your run of the mill movie plot which i like.

Greyhound with Tom Hanks was ok. Its not Saving Ryan's Privates  but pretty good. I downloaded that via a torrent.

Ford Vs Ferrari was a good movie if you're into cars. Great acting.

Have you watched Black Mirror on Netflix? Great series!! All different episodes.
The Last Kingdom is a great period piece on Netflix. The wife & I loved it.

I'll let you know if I think of more :)
Personally I can't wait for the next season of the Expanse.

Nah, still have the system. I'm about to put in a RX580 video card and see if I can sell it as a gaming PC.

Thanks for the heads up on the Picard series. I have Amazon Prime. (Only streaming service I have. Too many gets expensive!)

...and of course the is Dr Strangelove:

Who could forget Dr Strangelove? Classic movie. A lot of the old movies (say spaghetti westerns/westerns in general - I'm a big Clint Eastwood fan) interest me more than the new ones!
