The lists I linked were intended as prompts for suggestions, not a closed field. If the films listed are not to your taste, fine. Tastes vary. The question is, what kind of films/shows do you watch, and have you discovered anything that you are willing to recommend to other freepers?

If you simply don’t watch movies or tv at all, that’s great. There are other and better ways to pass your time. But most of us do indulge from time to time. So what’s good, in your estimation?

Most of us have seen the golden oldies. We probably agree about most of them. But I don’t want to spend the rest of my life rewatching the same 50 shows. Have you seen anything new that’s worth passing along?

You’re mostly right, in regard to my movie & TV watching.
The last commercial TV show I watched with any regularity was South Park. I know it’s still on but for some reason I fell out of the habit of watching it. Other than that, I haven’t paid much attention to network TV in years.

I’m not defining the following as “commercial\Network” TV, to me its “cable TV” so not “Network”. Maybe difference with a distinction. I did like “Vikings” for a while. However, its historical fiction element reached such a level of absurd that it got on my nerves too much to enjoy. I did last 4 seasons with “The Last Kingdom” however, the 5th season’s first episode succumbed almost immediately to “wokeness”, so I’m done with it.

In regard to movies, I mostly stumble into movies I like, and they are almost always foreign.
