Maybe one film a year and I’ll see maybe half of that.

That's still far more preferable than someone who won't shut up with their running commentary.

Re: What sort of film
I get absorbed, and enjoy it, unless the plot gets too drifty, then I get bored and walk away.

Re: What sort of film
I disapprove of fiction.
And biopics.
Documentaries are sometimes tolerable.

Re: What sort of film
An occasional Bio-Pic is OK. But Fiction, for me, makes the best movies.
I really enjoy the old 30's and 40's era Swashbucklers.

I've just watched The Father. Heartbreaking and confusing. It's meant to be confusing.

Re: What sort of film
I'm still hanging out to see the "Banished " series but they say they will never show it in this country. Not even on Netflix
I was going to ask one of you if you could send it to me.

I love the Errol Flynn swashbucklers. The Seahawk. Capetian Blood. Pretty much all old movies.

Re: What sort of film
I liked the novels they were adapted from. Both were written by Raphael Sabatini, but I bet your local library hasn't got a copy any more.
