Can you recommend a film (to help with the boredom)

[Jan]

I thought it might help if we compiled a list of films that Dibbers have enjoyed, which are available on Netflix or Amazon. We need the title of the film, obviously, and I thought the genre would be useful, and what you liked about it. What do you think of the idea?

I will make a start with Hacksaw Ridge, war film true story. Even the leading actor looked quite like the hero. It kept me on the edge of my seat.

Your turn now.

Great Idea Jan.

Can you include Sky too?

I ordered 'Midway' on Saturday Night (£5.49). Second World War Film - Vital Battle in the Pacific between the US and Japanese Fleets.

Not all the girls liked it but any War Film enthusiasts or history Buffs will love it. Woody Harrelson (Plays Adm Chester Nimitz) is in it and its based on True events and key personnel.

My only criticism was the overuse of CGI (The remake of Pearl Harbour first exposed this to me) but beyond that I loved it. (But I love war movies and historical true stories so I was on a winner)

Empire of the Sun.

1988 Oscar winner from Speilberg. A British boy is separated from his family at the start of World War II. Amidst shortage of food and no means of survival, he is eventually interned in a Japanese POW camp. Panoramic and powerful / uplifting film, young Christian Bale is excellent.
