Was that some weird auto-correct ?!

OFCOM feature in my life, they tell me how many dBm's I can transmit, which is not the db's

I've remembered another really good 'under the radar' film that's definitely worth a watch for anyone who's not seen it -

End of Watch (2012) - https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/end-of-watch-2012

4-star reviews are relatively rare on the Roger Ebert site, but this film rightly gets the accolade. There's real chemistry between the two leads, and it's a long time since I can remember such a great cop film.

Highly recommended...

Cheers,

Caught a bit of it last night.

Hmmm. Maybe.

Not quite what I expected and won over when I found out who produced it :)

Pirate Radio (Netflix)

I think it's also on Amazon (not Prime) but may be called The Boat That Rocked

Watched Baby Driver at the weekend. On Netflix.

Stylish, great use of music, car chases, guns, violence. I liked it.

It IS very stylish and really well choreographed

I'll offer up "Bad Times at the El Royale" for one that flew under my radar when released but I loved when I watched it recently

Yes. A very enigmatic watch. I am still not sure if I enjoyed it or hated it.

  2. Once Upon a Time in the West
  3. Saving Private Ryan
  4. Citizen Kane
  5. A Beautiful Mind
  6. Groundhog Day

I do not know Once upon a time in the West but I certainly know the others and would add Casablanca. In fact I probably have most of them on DVD, must take a look. Ah, Once Upon a Time in the West is a spaghetti Western,. That explains it!

Thanks for the list.
