You would think that they would put it on the tele around Xmas time.

Out of all the films there are, they seem to put the same one's on every year.

Ive got a streaming box and been watching films b4 bed. Any recommendations any one ?

"This Happy Breed" - a 40's masterpiece, released on 1st June 1944 - the week before D-Day ffs!!.

Based on a play by Noel Coward and directed by David Lean.
Starring Robert Newton, Celia Johnson, Stanley Holloway and John Mills - and filmed almost exclusively in a set comprising the front room of the house of the main protagonists.

"Steady the Buffs"

 

[Guinness Boy]

On a serious note my top three would be Pulp Fiction, Apocalypse Now and The Shawshank Redemption. Pretty obvious choices that I expect all of NSC has seen but still. Snatch and Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels are other classics I've seen innumerable times. On a (slightly) less violent note the adaptation of Graham Greene's The Quiet American with Michael Caine in is fantastic as is American Beauty. Oh and Coen Brothers films, particularly The Great Lebowski and Oh Brother Where Art Thou. So mindless violence, literature and off kilter comedy then.
