‘A night to Remember’ about the Titanic, better than the Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio version.
The Wicker Man . Quite a few but mainly ones I actually have the old CDs of.
For tv I like Vera, what a shame it has now finished. I used to like Midsomer murders but I’m over it now.

Basgetti Fri 16-Jan-26 23:24:00

There’s a really good documentary-drama about the Titanic on bbc iPlayer if you have access called “”Titanic Sinks Tonight”. So moving.

It occurred to me after I had posted that “Endeavour” contains the only line from a tv series that has ever stuck in my head, when his boss says: “You’d find something suspicious in a saint’s sock drawer”!

Luckygirl3 Sat 17-Jan-26 08:20:40

Foyle's War.
The acting and the period detail are second to none.

Apart from those tv shows already mentioned above, I also love Rosemary & Thyme. My favourite film, seen countless times, is The Full Monty. Contrary to popular belief, it’s nothing to do with the stripping! I just love the camaraderie between the men and the different personalities and stories they all have. Plus, it’s set in Yorkshire. What’s not to like? smile I also find myself watching films like Pretty Woman or Die Hard again and again if I happen upon them by accident. My favourite old film is Geordie where the wee boy grows up to be a huge hammer thrower (Bill Travers) and competes in the olympics. But the winner has to be White Christmas, which I’ve seen every year since I was knee high (and I’m now 68). As a child, the first thing I did when we got the Christmas edition of the Radio Times was to look and see when it was on tv. No videos or recording anything in those far-off days!

Too many to mention but I’ve just watched Jimmy McGoverns Accused again on Netflix. It was very good/ahead of its time wrt issues
