Hylander Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 Thanks for the heads up, I will have a look see. Could do with some light entertainment. Absolutely chucking it down here. We would have been on holiday in a holiday cottage in Potter Heigham at the moment with hubby fishing (?) that's a joke it itself in this weather. Speaking of 'Noflix' We have watched some tripe on there purporting to be films. If anyone has watched any films that they can recommend that are not full of swearing, violence and misery can they let us know. I like a good story with (heaven forbid) a beginning a middle and an end. True films especially I love. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MauriceMynah Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 Amongst the "feel good films" I have on DVD, I would recommend 'Miss Potter', 'Croc Dundee I and II', 'Anna and the King' and 'The man who sued God' The last in that short list stars Billy Connelly, and although it does exist, there is next to no swearing, and on those few occasions it is well within character and situation. Croc I & II I treat as one long film. Again the little swearing in it seems to be appropriate to the film and dare I say, necessary. I've seen 'edited' versions shown on TV and they lose something. I am reminded of something that happened when I was doing home delivery for Tesco. I pulled up outside this rather nice house and unloaded the goods. I was met at the door by a very nice lady and a young lad about 5 or 6. On the order was a DVD of Thomas the Tank Engine. Sadly the store had run out of that DVD so the picker substituted it with another film... Train Spotting. The lady looked at me, looked down at her son then back at me, handed the DVD back to me saying, "No, I don't think so!" 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gracie Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 Oh goodness don't start me off about Thomas the ruddy Tank Engine, I know everything about Thomas and his friends You may want to try the numerous Star Wars movies that are shown oh so very often. According to my little ones, it is all true, there really are Jedi Knights, a big hairy thing that growls a lot, everyone seems to know what it's saying except me and then there's Darth ruddy Vader. x 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
