Looking for Film DvD Bluray recommendations. Life is hard right now and I am looking for immersive films and shows that aren't too treacle sweet but have a bit of depth. Not violent, complex is good. Nice is good.

My beloved Morse trilogy has worked, Gentlemen prefer Blonds, Diamonds are a Girls Best Friend, Harvey, the original All Creatures Great and Small, the Poiot series, Babbetes Feast, Primer, Signs, singing in the Rain, It happened one night,Mrs Miniver, Blast From the Pat, Galexy Quest, Christmas in Connecticut, An ebayer is trying to screw me over by having sent me the wrong region when i asked for Make Way for Tomorrow.

I guess I am looking for feel good black and whites and early color films. Some films that have left you smiling. Not haha comedy. Just nice. Like Singing in the Rain nice.

Ones without a message.... just watched the film Pleasantville and found it beyond stupid. Was it marketed to young teens?

Anyhow again I will compile and put together a lost and post it at the end of the thread for everyone to have to print off.

Thank you.

I love both versions of that film! Robert Donat / Greer Garson and the one with Peter O’Toole / Petula Clark.

Most of Blake Edwards' work is worth watching. The original Pink Panther had a great ensemble cast (and didn't depend on the Clouseau character to drive all the laughs). The original sequel to that film is A Shot In The Dark, also funny but turning more into something that focused on Peter Sellers' character). I would categorize both as sophisticated comedies, at least in retrospect.

Since you mentioned Galaxy Quest, a film which is more a loving homage to Star Trek than a parody, I'll also recommend Blake Edwards' The Great Race. Inspired in part by an actual auto race of the early 1900s, there's also a dedication to Laurel and Hardy in the intro - a hint of slapstick antics to come. The movie is more than that, thanks to the talents of Tony Curtis, Natalie Wood, Peter Falk and especially Jack Lemmon. Plus, it has the best pie fight ever captured on film.

“Chariots of Fire” is another really good one that meets the original criteria.

Pride of the Yankees

[Albion Wilde]

A friend recently showed me the movie Remarkably Bright Creatures, starring Sally Field as an older widow who conquers her boredom by taking a night job as the cleaner in an aquarium, where she develops a caring connection to its large Pacific octopus. The story unfolds vital memories of her lost son. It is a visually lovely film, with a gentle pace, and Sally remains a really good actress.

Have you seen the TV BBC series Hornblower starring Ioan Gruffudd as young Horatio Hornblower?

You might like that show.

“COLD MOUNTAIN”

Loved it so much. Read the book first, then have seen the movie only twice, but I think of it any time I'm over in the Appalachians, and many times in between.

Everybody has problems. Go back to Bulgaria.

Live a little...based on the book titled, .”Kiss My Firm, but Pliant Lips”. We immediately knew it was gonna be a hit.

[Irenic]

That is very good.

I Frequently see “Cold Mountain” DVDs for $1,50 at Goodwill stores or other Thrift

If I had to Choose One movie
That would be It.

If you liked Poirot, I’d look at “Foyle’s War”, “Inspector Lewis”, and “Endeavor”.
