In Bruges, fantastic film with some real comedy moments but some real dark bits as well.
Tenet now that’s a film to watch by yourself and concentrate hard on. Even then I was left wondering what’s going on. It does actually have some of the lowest sounds I ever experienced. The only film I’ve had to turn the subwoofer down. Things in my room were moving.
Had high hopes for Tenet when I saw the trailer during the last star wars film. Is it really that bad?
I really enjoyed it, but it's not one to watch if you're on the verge of going into a food coma, or have overdone it on the Christmas booze. If "James Bond for people who've watched too much Doctor Who" sounds like your thing then probably best to record it for later.

It’s awful . It’s all over the place . The majority of the dialogue is inaudible and I absolutely hated it . Apart from that it’s ok 😂
I thought it was all over the place too on my first viewing. I even struggled to get Dunkirk first time round.
Nolan’s films love to mess with timelines . They are tiresome at times to watch them. The only films that my brain managed to get around and really appreciate was 1917 , The Dark Knight ( which didn’t mess with timelines ) and Memento ( which absolutely did ) . Couldn’t getTenet . Inception and The Prestige which well loved by many but not by me . Nolan certainly divides opinions.

FILM TO AVOID ----------------------- 10.00PM - BBC2 -DESPERATELY SEEKING SUSAN
I can't fault your recommendations for what to watch, beds, but I've got to take issue with the avoidance. DSS is not Oscar material but it is an enjoyable romp with a Madonna who hasn't forgotten how to act, admittedly made easier by essentially playing herself.
Before all the madness descended we used to have film Fridays in a restaurant in the village (we are very lucky to have a local film maker living here). Bait was one of the first films he showed. Being as we too are are a wee fishing village that gets totally overrun in the summer it struck a few chords.
Tell us where it is, please, so we can come this summer.

Like American Graffiti and Bladerunner, In Bruges is a film I can watch time and time again. Excellent performances all round and very, very funny. Quite possibly the funniest swearing in cinema history.

True Grit is a good film and Hailee Steinfeld is very good in the Kim Darby role but it is very much a film that didn't need to be made.
Which Suicide Squad, beds? The one with The Joker or the more recent one? I'm guessing as it's on 'Premiere' it's the more recent one. Not that it matters much, they're both pretty bad, only made watchable by Margot Robbie.
Comments
screw it, go for Once upon a time in America. Up there with the Godfather.
edit: said all this before @Bedsaddick replied. still watch the Godfather and Once upon a time in America. class.
Absolute masterclass from Colin Farrell and Brendon Gleeson not to mention Ray Fiennes smashing it
I have paid for this service and I will serve again, maybe.
