I haven't seen Triangle yet but from what I understand it is similar to Timecrimes which I quite enjoyed. Watch that if you want some more timey wimey stuff

88. One Cut of the Dead
Wasn't sure where this was going at first and wasn't too impressed. Then it got fantastic.
[8]

89. The Faculty
Back when Rodriguez made good films. Scream does Bodysnatchers. Still fun and an amazing cast.
[6]

90. Cure
Excellently executed creepiness with an off-puttingly calm style.
[8]

91. Son of Saul
Haunting and harrowing. An incredible first film.
[10]

I've spent 45 mins browsing iPlayer and prime for a movie to watch. Nada. Almost watched 12 monkeys, internal affairs again. I wanna watch something new but have no idea how to start, or patience. Is anyone else like this?

I think part of the problem with Netflix is that they only recommend stuff to you that is based on your previous viewing habits. Theres loads on there that you just aren't seeing - if you can disrupt the algorithm then you can browse more

92. Jack Reacher
Sometimes you just need to watch a dumb but entertaining Hollywood action thriller.
[6]

93. Lincoln Lawyer
Sometimes you just need to watch a dumb but entertaining Hollywood court room thriller.

102. Wishmaster
Cheesy, dodgy effects laden, fantasy slasher horror with Wes Craven on production duties. Not amazing but saved by Andrew Divoff in a gloriously hammy turn as the titular djinn. 6

18. The Thing (2011)
Had very low expectations of this, given that the original is an all timer, but was actually pleasantly surprised. Some decent creature effects and designs (but not as visceral as the practical effects of the Carpenter one) and a good atmosphere, but it showed a bit too much at times and didn't quite manage the the originals dread. For a film that leaned so heavily on the original, right down to some of the set pieces, it felt a bit shit that they didn't even acknowledge John Carpenter in the credits. (6)

Tetsuo II: Body Hammer - What a subtitle.  More conventional than The Iron Man, which makes for an easier watch, but I ended up missing the first film's raw energy and oppressive atmosphere.  I mean it's still deranged, just a bit more comprehensible.  [7]

Kiki's Delivery Service - Sits just outside the top tier, meaning it's wonderful but doesn't need the large scale blimp action when we've already had the emotional climax of the film.  It's over-egging the cake...  [9]

To Catch a Thief - Looking for something similar to Charade and it fell short.  Nice views but got a bit bored tbh.  [4]

A Child Is Waiting - Garland's penultimate film and it proves she can do naturalistic as well as melodramatic.  It's certainly a tearjerker but not the constant downer I'd heard it described as, in fact it's quite optimistic in its own way.  I'd guess its stance on SEN kids is as outdated as the hard R's but it does a pretty good job of representing them as individuals.  [7]

103. When Harry Met Sally
First watch for me. Gentle, witty and touching romantic comedy about the chance acquaintances of two friends destined to be lovers. Crystal at his charming and driest best, Ryan at the peak of her cutest before superbitch took over. 8

104. Pretty Woman
Great chemistry between Gere and Roberts drives this materialistic yet heart warming romcom. Gere is charming yet assertive as the super rich businessman and Roberts, as the hooker with a heart, reminds us what a naturally gifted actor and insanely beautiful woman she was at only 21. 8

What are the other classic rom coms to watch? Sleepless in Seattle?

Here’s a few:

Pretty Woman
Pretty in Pink
Say Anything
Roman Holiday
When Harry Met Sally
Working Girl
Groundhog Day
She’s Gotta Have It
Sleepless in Seattle (or You’ve Got Mail – basically the same movie)
10 Things I Hate About You (could be a high school movie – I’m unsure where to draw that line)
Crazy Stupid Love

Pretty Woman was on TV a few weeks back and I found it an intensely weird and uncomfortable watch. There's something very off about it.

Bit Epstein-y?

There's a lot of folks around that time that have a similar outlook on prostitution. Heck even now they're mostly played for laughs or is treated very casually

It's like it sets up prostitution as some kind of desirable career option for girls, because there's always the possibility that some weirdo millionaire will come in and save you from yourself. Like all the abuse, cocks, beatings, STDs, substance misuse etc until that point would've been worth it.

Fucking weird film.

It was originally conceived as a darker film without a happy ending. Then Disney got involved and wanted it to have a lighter tone with a still adult theme but fairytale ending. I think you have to take it on its obvious merits without over thinking the seedy nature of Vivian's business. There are still some dark themes but they aren't pushed to the fore so much but I don't think it's glamourising prostitution.

Another vote for Sleepless in Seattle in the romcom shouts, lovely little film.  I'm not into the Curtis movies really, couldn't get on with Notting Hill or Love Actually, but I have a massive soft spot for Four Weddings so I'll add that.
