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.

“ The Big Sleep”
Big thumbs up for that one.

FReepers are so diverse, you’ll be getting a broad spectrum of suggestions.
One of my favorites is “Regarding Henry”, a Harrison Ford sleeper.
I’m rewatching a British crime series called NEW TRICKS and it’s even better than I remembered. About a group of retired police looking at cold cases with new technology. Very human, amusing, extremely well acted and non-violent. It often leaves a smile on your face. Highly recommended.
DVD “COLD MOUNTAIN”
Over 2 hrs ,Good Music, Scenic and I’ve watched it a hundred times.
Arsenic and Old Lace.
The Court Jester.
Captain Blood.
Witness for the Prosecution.
Midsomer Murders.
The Avengers. The TV series not the movie
Dr Who. The classic ones
Secretariat.
Any Marx Bros film
Lady Hawke
It’s A Mad, Mad, Mad, World
Ford v Ferrari
The Princess Bride
Separate Tables
Blythe Spirit. The older one.
The Importance of Being Earnest, with Michael Redgrave.
Try looking at www.thriftbooks.com great place to find used books videos, dvds including blueray.
Pricing is great and they will also buy your old books and videos as well. I like that content is being recycled instead of dumped in the trash.
You might enjoy this. Peter Sellers as Richard III doing “It’s been a hard day’s night”.

I’ve been binge watching Midsomer Murders. Free on Pluto tv. Of course, it is murders...
They’re still making them -— since 1997!
I also liked “Lilies of the Field” with Sidney Poitier, who does an exceptional job in this one. Not as sappy as you expect a movie with nuns to be.
Endeavor is a good series -— Detective Morse as a young cop/detective.
A Simple Twist of Fate
Operation Petticoat
To Catch a Thief
The House Sitter
The Out Of Towners
Charade
You might enjoy “Foyle’s War.”
My son loved that movie. I look forward to seeing it.
American Beauty is another piece of high accolades garbage, similar vein
