I’m not puting sky or streaming services on the recommendations because there is far to much choice. Just Freeview but if you want a couple of personal Netflix recommendations Watch Roma & The Ballad Of Buster Scruggs .
Cheers @Bedsaddick heard The Ballad of Buster Scruggs mentioned on the latest films thread, although haven't seen pop up on netflix . Will make an effort to watch them both at some point over Christmas thanks
Another film on Netflix that I watched tonight that I can really recommend - CALIBRE .
Sorry to interrupt this thread. I'm just curious to know if the holiday has already started in the UK? Most people don't have to go to work starting from when? I work in the international business department of a bank and our clients are still receiving funds from their foreign buyers and I thought most people in the west had gone on holiday by now?

The actual bank holidays are the 25th and 26th (and the 1st of January). A lot of offices are likely to have an enforced day of annual leave on the 24th this year, as so many staff will be wanting to take the day off so they can travel to visit family or do last minute prep, but that won't be universal. So it may tail off a bit tomorrow as people knock off early, and be fairly quiet on Monday, but I doubt it'll be completely dead.

Alpha is a good film for dog lovers. I think it is available on Sky Store.
I can't remember the name of the film but the one where a hitman (for some reason I remember it being David Bowie) shoots a dog is a good film for dog haters.

John Wick ? He’s a hitman whose dog is killed but he doesn’t shoot a dog and David Bowie definitely isn’t in it ? Other than that a can’t think of what film you are thinking about.
I watched 'Scrooged' last night, the film starring Bill Murray. Admittedly, I was half-asleep, but that has to be the worst Christmas film I have ever seen. I kept waiting for it to improve and then the end credits rolled. Only one and a half chuckles in 110 minutes.
The scene in Jaws where the head pops out from the boat still scares the life out of me.
Mate, my dad would tell you I watched Jaws in about 1979 4 years old and I was cross legged on the floor and the floating head emerged and I jumped vertically up from the floor on my arse. That scared me for about 10 years and I’m still at 34 years old sh*tvscared of the sea from that film
So you were 4 in 1979 and you’re now 34? Don’t get a job in a bank mate.

I watched Love Actually for the first time this week and couldn’t believe what a mess of a film it was . How is this rated to highly??? It’s bloody awful
Must say I have not been overly impressed with the offerings so far. I guess we are not quite into the Christmas schedule as of yet.
As for Love Actually, well words just cannot explain! An exercise is egos and back slapping amongst the luvvie fraternity/maternity. I don't know about bankers but that lot would be first up against the wall!
Sorry to possibly pre-empt you Beds, but I'm so glad Muppet Christmas Carol is on on Christmas Day - it's brilliant and a tradition to watch it on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day.

It's been the worst build up to Christmas for TV that I can remember. It will definitely get better as from this weekend.

Don’t worry . That will be on the list . It’s one of my favourite Christmas movies too.

It’s late ‘70s or early ‘80s and I remember a lift door opens, the dog yaps and the bloke shoots it. May have had Martin Short in it.
