As a result, I'm looking for other not-everyone-has-heard-of-them films, particularly on Netflix, that we could show our 3-year old. Any suggestions?
Mitchells vs the Machines - in my top 10 list of movies for 2021 (and I'm not a huge animation fan).

That was an excellent film

Dragged Across Concrete
Yeah whilst probably a bit long and seemingly kinda slow in parts, actually a pretty decent watch. Basically, old Riggs and young, white Mutagh go on a stakeout, with a couple of other characters thrown in.Edit, shit, sorry. 3 abandoned story threads out of 5 who the fuck was that half naked hot chick.

now, i love The Departed. I genuinely consider it one of the best movies i have ever seen
But i just read talk of a Departed 2??
The actual fuck is that? How in sam hell can you make a sequel to a movie where the main characters are all fucking dead?? (spoilers for a 16 year old movie)
One assumes it has to be based around the comic bit-part character? How does that even work?
This stinks like shiiiiit

The Infernal Affairs sequels were pretty good, but I can't remember what they were about as it was years ago that I watched them. They may have been prequels, or based on the Alec Bladwin and Marky Mark equivalent characters.

Dirty Harry
Always good to revisit every few years.
70s and funky, a bit dated……but yet so amazingly stylish. San Fran is as much of a star as anyone on screen.
….Clint rocks, the story rocks, the bad guy rocks and it pretty much single handely created the whole “renegade cop” genre of movies.
5 I know what you’re thinking out of 5 well do ya punk ?

Sure is.
Like loads of movies the first is an absolute classic ( and it really is ) and the rest are varying degrees of ok culminating in a pretty shite fifth one ( Liam Neeson and Jim Carrey are in that one )

That guy played four different parts in four different Dirty Harry flicks !

Licorice Pizza: I think I hate this movie. I really can't believe it is winning awards and getting critical acclaim. Awful characters, style over substance, a storyline that would be panned by all and sundry if reversed. Good soundtrack as to be expect from a PTA movie.
Early contender for worst movie of the year (TBF last years worst for me came out early in the year too).

Castaway
I'm sorry to say I don't think I've ever watched the film in its entirety. Very strong performance by Tom Hanks, I thought it did well to try and capture what his character's ordeal would have been like. It even had some jungle dentistry which looked harrowing. The end had Mrs CF sniffling in the back, a solid 4 Wilsons out of 5 lost courier parcels

The Kings Man
I love the premise and really enjoyed the first one, recapturing the old school fun aspects of “Bond”….but they seem to struggle to find what made the first one fun
