What a brilliant list, JP. You’ve missed off my favourite film ever, Local Hero. How a small community in Scotland gets one over the sophisticated and worldly American oil executive 😉
Excellent list JP you’ve got a lot on that I’ve seen and enjoyed. One I think should go on is A Man Called Otto which I absolutely loved it’s got Tom Hanks in as Otto. Otherwise it was fantastic xx
This is a really great list JP, thank you. We watched The Six Triple Eight last week, incredible!
May I also recommend Joy, with the marvellous Bill Nighy. He plays Dr Patrick Steptoe, based on the true story of the birth (no pun intended) of IVF in the UK. Co-starring the lovely James Norton, never a bad thing in my book x
Boy, do we need this distraction, JP! I absolutely loved Hidden Figures and Erin Brokockovich. The Colour Purple (original film) is one of my top favourites of all! Also another Will Smith movie called King Richard. I feel like watching The Pursuit of Happiness again now. Thanks so much for this.
Thanks for sharing your film list. I’ve been living under a stone cos I’ve only seen half of them. What, no ET ✨?? Love hearing about your every day life X
Great list JP; I've seen most of them and agree with most (I couldn't get past the first half hour of Legally Blonde). To Kill a Mockingbird is also one I would add to the list. Thanks.
Shouldn't The Adventures of Priscilla Queen of the Desert be on the list? I loved that movie. And The Castle (Australian movie from 1997) is one of the most uplifting movies I've seen, the kind of movie that stays with you.

That’s another to add to my watch list Moira
I really envy you seeing it for the first time. A bonus is the brilliant soundtrack by Mark Knopfler and a very, very young Peter Capaldi.

Do you know I was supposed to add that and forgot. Read the book and didn’t think they could make a film that would do it justice, but I was wrong.
Ooooh totally agree - Hidden Figures is just fabulous - the six triple eight equally wonderful all the more interesting for being true stories ❤️❤️
I have to say I love a true story.
I think Six Triple Eight was fabulous. Now I must watch Hidden Figures.
On Netflix now
Great list - thanks for sharing. Hidden Figures is a brilliant film. I'm going to have to work through your list and watch those I've missed.
Thank you. Should keep you busy for a bit.

Ooh that’s one I have not seen. Thank you!
These are dark times indeed. Films like these much needed.
Here to bring a little joy Penny. X
Oh JP - you watched it! *Hands over eyes* Sending you Anne of Green Gables vibes to offset the horrors. xx
We knew we shouldn’t, but couldn’t resist. Horrified, perhaps why we had to watch Hidden Figures straight afterwards. Anne, of course, must add that!
Thanks JP. Always good to have recommendations. Hope you recover from the inauguration soon!
Cheers Karen xxx

The original Color Purple is my favourite film of all time Frances. Thanks for the other recommendation. Xx
I think you’d also like ‘The Diving Bell and the Butterfly’, JP xx
Thank you for those. I’ll check them out.
Thank you so much for this JP ❤️❤️
You are most welcome.

Thank you and hope you see a few more of them over the coming months.

🤣 Fair enough. I’ll add TKM to the list.

Another brilliant film and one that should definitely be on it. I don’t think I’ve seen The Castle, so that’s one for me to watch.
What a great idea to post to us JP - thanks very much. I was surprised at how many were my favourites!
Thought of half of them in bed, so it made sense to make a list to share. Xx
Recommended next is The Six triple Eight. You have same taste as me . I've watched all of your list over the years
Such a good film. Kerry Washington was superb.
