Yesterday
Danny Boyle film about a pub musician, struggling to make it, who has an accident during a worldwide incident called The Blackout.
He wakes up and is the only one who can remember The Beatles. He starts playing their songs and everyone is freaking out about how good he is.
Really enjoyed this with the family. There are some great and unexpected twists, and let me tell you the world hasn't forgotten only the Beatles - keep your eyes and ears open for that stuff.
Ed Sheeran is fucking great, as is Robert Carlyle. The American agent character is a little OTT tho.
5 Judes out of 5 Dudes.

Is there a streaming service that has 80s films/series? I'd farking ditch Netflix for it in a second.

That looks brilliant! Have you used it before?

I'm just trying to work out how to use it/how much it costs. It's all a bit sketchy.

Damn only US/Canada.
Not fair

Alison on Prime (Amazon)
A particularly hard watch about Alison Botha who in 1994 'was abducted, raped, stabbed and left for dead by Frans du Toit and Theuns Kruger.
They slashed her throat so deeply she had to hold her own head on as she crawled to the road for help. With her other hand she had to hold in the organs spilling from her stomach, where she had been stabbed more than 30 times.'
Somehow she lived.

No Retreat No Surrender. Van Dammes first role (as an evil kickboxing Russian).
So shit it's awesome. My youngest loved it. Kid gets beaten up and goes to Bruce Lee's grave to ask for his help. The Ghost of Bruce then shows up and trains him.
Legendary.

Recommend with this were a few other gems like Final Impact and Best of the Best (Eric Robert's finest hour).

I used to hire that from the video store at least once a month before I figured out how to, ahem, dub videos. Bloodsport, American Ninja and Kickboxer were also favourites.

That homo erotic 80s workout montage puts Rocky and the Karate Kid to shame.
I’m off to do some one arm push ups. ( seriously )

The scene with the black dude eating an ice cream while sitting on the other guy's stomach is unarguably the gayist scene of the 80s and that says something. There was a heap of competition

But you miss Jean Claude's 3 lines of unintelligible dialogue. And when he headbutts a fat guy.
