Recently Watched Movies

It's been a really long time since I posted movies recently watched.
Some were watched before the Winter Olympics - which we did watch when the digital antenna was receiving the broadcast.  
And, as usual, there will be some that have been mentioned in previous blog posts ---- when we don't have any DVDs from the library we fall back on our personal collection. 
And, as usual, they are not in any particular order.
Most of the TV Series are ones that I have "found" on Acorn's website.


C.B Strike - Lethal Weapon   English TV seriesπŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘
can be "brutal" at times.


Golden Years, Armed & Dangerous   English "comedy"πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘


McDonald & Dobbs   English TV series πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘a mystery series with some comic relief, and wonderful views of a beautiful English LIBRARY  2 seasons  If you have watched Shakespeare and Hathaway, and enjoyed that one, I am pretty sure you will really enjoy this one.


Muscle Shoals πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘   needed to rewatch after we watched   "RESPECT" (Aretha Franklin movie).   
About so many of the BIG names in early ROCK music.


Death in Paradise  Season 10  πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘ You should already know about this one.


My Life Is Murder  Season 2  πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘ mystery series in New Zealand, with comic relief.


Sliding Doors  πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘ an early Gweneth Paltrow film, she plays a dual part,  interesting film.


Shopgirl  πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘ 2005 film based on Steve Martin's short story,  he stars along with Claire Danes.


Woman Wanted πŸ‘πŸ‘ weird one with Kiefer Sutherland, Holly Hunter and Michael Moriarty.


Whitstable Pearl πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘ English mystery series, Jim's only complaint, the lead male actor "mumbles" so one has a hard time hearing his dialogue.


Mrs. Doubtfire πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘ always enjoy watching Robin's performance in this one.


Cool Runnings πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘having just finished watching the bobsled competition of the Olympics, we HAD to rewatch this with John Candy.


Antonia's Line  πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘winner of the 1995 Academy Award for Best Foreign Language film.  Dutch film set after WWII.


LunchBox πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘Indian film, we had seen this several years ago, saw it back in Sno-Isle's system, only didn't realize we were getting the Indian version with only Spanish subtitles --- it was interesting at any rate!


Green Bicycle (Wadjda) πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘Saudi film, another one we had seen years ago, this one in Arabic, with Spanish subtitles!   Enjoyed it anyway. 


Shirley Valentine πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘one of my favorite comedies featuring Pauline Collins!

Judge John Deed  seasons 1 & 2πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘English "court" mystery series ----- another series we watched years ago, always interesting to rewatch and be able to enjoy again.


Belle Epoque  πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘1993 Oscar winner for Best Foreign Language film.   One of Penelope Cruz's first films.


Smoke Signals πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘ Since I just finished reading "We Had a Little Real Estate Problem" by Kliph Nestersoff, regarding Native Americans in comedy, this film is briefly mentioned.   We had seen it when it first came out ---- neither of us remembered it.  After reading Kliph's book, this time I could "see" the comedy in the film.


That's a wrap 
See you at the movies  πŸ‘€
