Film and TV

Deleted User

I gave up  my TV license in 2001 and I haven't watched many films for years.

We (ie since then) have a household TV but I've never figured out even how to turn it on.

However, because I'm running out of books to read and my eyesight is failing, I've now got my own TV.

I have no idea what to watch.

The sorts of films I used to watch weren't usually mainstream - eg. Paris, Texas; Betty Blue; The Double Life of Veronique; the Three Colours Trilogy.

I need to branch out.

The novels I like most and read most of are detective, thrillers, murder mysteries.

However, I'm open to all sorts of suggestions.

So, background over, do you have any recommendations for films or TV series and, just generally, what do you like watching?

  • Hi Debbie, just poking my nose in to say I’m thrilled to hear of someone else who likes Bettie Blue and The Double Life of Veronique. I’ve never even heard of anyone else who’s seen the latter. It also has a beautiful soundtrack by Zbigniew Preisner.

    Hope you’re keeping well.

    I'm still here as my mum always replied to that question  thanks.

    I hope that you and Shadow are well too.

    They are on my treasured but dusty shelf of DVDs.

    Yes TDLOV does have a lovely soundtrack.
