Also, rated "PG-13"...(nudity is depicted, but nothing more than you'd see by taking a Barbie doll's clothes off)
(personal note: I never got a chance to see the live-action remake. Will check it out on Blu-Ray).

“The Piano”
Came out around 1993. It’s about early settlers in New Zealand. A piano, brought all the way from England, is the unifying thread throughout the story.
The soundtrack is also wonderful.
For me, nothing scarier than the 1950’s flick, “The Bad Seed.”
I liked “The Shrike” too. June Allyson and Jose Ferrer.
Non-scary but exciting and satisfying, “The Furies.” Stanwyck and Huston.
I like odd Thomas...
Loved john dies in the end... very clever

I love watching the older western series. Any violence in them is usually confined to a single bullet to the bad guy, where he’s left either holding his hand that just had his gun shot out of it, or he falls down and dies within seconds. There’s none of the blood, guts, and gore that Hollywood now likes to glamorize.

-The Roy Rogers Show

I too love one America but cannot get it to stream from Vaughn live on TV
only on computer.
I wish they had daily podcasts of their two evening shows.
It would increase viewer ship.
‘The Piano’ has some nekkedidity, so I don’t know if that’s within Chickensoup’s criteria. But it is a good movie.
I didn’t know there was an old Father Brown series.
I share your pain. Every time I go to a bookstore I see an “undead” creature within sixty seconds. In clothing stores even the toddler shirts can be found that have skulls on them. Two-headed skeletal rotting corpse dolls are popular.

I didn’t read the book. Redford is really good in this movie. It’s close to Hitchcock in tension and dialogue.
Bkmk
“The Water Diviner”. Russell Crowe.
Also try The Book Thief
Cerebral of course.
I didn’t look at the spell checker change.
Mush for brains is common. But you have given them a great foundation. Often it will firm up as reality strikes.
There are two six part BBC espionage dramas, Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy and Smiley’s People, both of which are very realistic and star Sir Alec Guinness as George Smiley and of course, as with any BBC production the supporting cast are awesome too.

Another choice, if you like Sherlock Holmes mysteries, would be Granada TV’s productions with Jeremy Brett playing Sherlock Holmes. Jeremy Brett is one of the finest actors of all time and he plays Sherlock Holmes exceedingly brilliantly with all the Holmes idiosyncrasies Sir Arthur Conan Doyle created for him.
