Many of us wont have much to do during the coming weeks and months and I for one hope to be entertained by some good films and tv series. I left England at the end of 1996 and until I moved to Thailand 8 years ago, I lost touch a bit and am only now catching up with stuff I'd missed. Someone on here suggested Doc Martin was worth a watch a few months back and I loved it I'm now on series 6 of Line of Duty and again I'm really enjoying it. Since I've been here I've binged on The Sopranos, Breaking Bad and Better call Saul among others. Where would we be without the internet? Anyway, I'm sure there are some forgotten gems out there.

Threat title mentions movies, then you go on to provide an array of tv series Grin

Anyway, here are a couple more for you:

Luther - the opening sequence of the opening episode is absolutely brilliant. The rest of the series is pretty damn good too.

Scott & Bailey - I'd only seen bits of this and didn't really pay attention to it, now going through the process of catching up and it is well worth it. Individual episodes are fast moving with a fine balance between chaotic personal lives and outstanding police work. 

As for best film of all time, that's easy, One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest.

Inception, Interstellar, The Dark Knight (massive Nolan fan, all his movies are brilliant).

The Big Short - the most rewatchable movie of modern times for me, I just do not get sick of it. Ever.

All the classic gangster movies - Godfather 1 and 2. Goodfellas. Carlito's Way (under rated). Road to Perdition (CRIMINALLY under rated). The Departed.

Heat & The Town. Similar but love them both. 

Die Hard. Watch it every christmas (don't tell me it ain't a christmas movie).

Arrival. A slow burn but totally worth it by the time the credits roll.

Saving Private Ryan.

Haven't seen it for years and it's probably rubbish but I seem to remember loving Angel Heart.

It's all subjective, but it won't be long before some kn0b comes on here and states that the Shawshank Redemption is the best film ever created.

Just to make Angoose happy, I'd better mention some films! Among my favs are Pulp Fiction, Scent of a Woman and like therhino, most of the classic gangster films, I'll add a Bronx Tale to his list. I'm afraid I'm a sucker for a good romcon as well and loved Notting Hill and Sleepless in Seattle.

I like good looking films mainly. Lawrence of Arabia, English Patient, Return of Martin Guerre, Sheltering Sky, that kind of thing.

It's all subjective but anyone out there  could be a kn0b Laugh

For what it's worth most of the Ealing comedies are sublime.
