Films you have loved! Recommendations would be welcome.

Wow! Thank you everyone ! Such a good list!

Currently available on iPlayer - Moonstruck, The Witches of Eastwick, Film Stars don't die in Liverpool, Stan & Ollie, & Effie Gray. (I'm assuming that you've already seen When Harry met Sally, which I watched again the other day and hardly stopped smiling throughout).

I have lots of films that I love, but these are, I think, less well known:

Up in the Air - George Clooney, Anna Kendrick
A Painted Veil - Naomi Watts, Edward Norton
Once Around - Richard Dreyfuss, Hollie Hunter
Driving Miss Daisy - Jessica Tandy, Morgan Freeman
Florence Foster Jenkins - Meryl Streep, Hugh Grant
The Accidental Tourist - William Hurt, Geena Davis
A Dog's Purpose - don't know cast

An old flame of mine made a brief appearance in Saving Grace: he was also locations manager on the film. I think it led to Doc Marten being produced.

Apparently the second Mrs de Winter was never named because Daphne du Murier wanted her nameless state to denote her inferior mindset to Rebecca. It certainly works.

If you want a more modern, check your brain out kind of film, Saving Grace is pretty good.

Also, any of the Ealing Comedies.

The last film we saw at the cinema before lockdown 1 was
Military Wives.
Going to the cinema tomorrow with 1 GC for Peter Rabbit 2 - we have been waiting so long!! Will take 2 GSs next week.
I know many people don't like it but we love Peter Rabbit.
Loved Fisherman's Friends - a shock in the middle which you don't see coming!
We also loved Goodbye Christopher Robin. I think Margot Robbie is stunning. I also loved her in Mary Queen of Scot's but i am not keen on that film.
We enjoyed JoJo Rabbit at the cinema but may not be everyone's cup of tea.
Maybe going down the wrong path now but i love Rocketman.

Yesterday was a good watch and i enjoyed Nicholas Nickleby and of course the latest Little Women.

Film Stars Don't Die In Liverpool is heartbreakingly sad. It stars Annette Benning in the story of Gloria Grahame who was very famous at one time. I loved her portrayal of Ado Annie in Oklahoma!

Feel good films - I think - and a bit different
Little Miss Sunshine
Napoleon Dynamite
Strictly Ballroom - always gets us dancing around with DGC!

I think you’d enjoy Marvellous. It’s based on a true story.

If you can find them
Same time next Year
On Golden pond
Sunshine on Leith

My husband’s favourite is “Come September” with Rock Hudson and Sophia Loren.
If anyone knows where it’s on I would be very grateful to know,
haven’t been able to find it even through we appear to have all the streaming and sky channels.

www.imdb.com/title/tt5027774/ Three Billboards Outside Ebbing (2017)

I’ve recommended this film before, Untochable, the french film based in a true story, not the Eliot Ness one. It’s wonderfully heartwarming and very funny too.
Also Florence Foster Jenkins.

The Martian, Billy Elliot, Love Actually, Shaun of the Dead, The World’s End, Hot Fuzz . X

Hope Gap is very good, Bill Nighy. It’s feels like play. Annette Benning in it too as a very annoying character!

Always loved Rebecca, I’ve got it on my recorder so I can watch it whenever I like. I don’t think she was named at all, not even in the book. I also liked Field of Dreams and Casablanca.

Paul, and all the Cornetto trilogy of which Hot Fuzz is my faavourite ...not too serious and a great laugh.

My Octopus Teacher on Netflix, brilliant film about the developing relationship under the sea between a man and an octopus.You will be amazed.

..unless, of course, you dig deeper!

If you enjoy a' weepy' try 'Now Voyager'with Deborah Kerr.

Esio Trot...tortoise... lovely film! x

The heroine in Rebecca was never named in the book, and although I’ve seen the original film, I can’t remember if she was named in that. The book, which I loved, was written in the first person, so she never named herself.

More great recommendations! I'm grateful. I loved the Marx Brothers when I was young - a real pity if they are no longer available. But really good to have suggestions for more recent films.

Annaram1, AFAIK the name of the main character, the new bride, is never mentioned. A very clever device, IMO, given how the dead wife, Rebecca, pervades and casts a dark shadow over the whole plot.

I've sometimes found old films on utube which seemed inaccessible anywhere else.
