Still a few weeks to go with regards to Lockdown I suspect.

Looking for Film Suggestions - Could be anything really , Black & White, Modern , Netflix , Youtube , Independent , non-bushcrafty , something that you feel is an Good Worthwhile Film that maybe has escaped the mainstream media.

If its obscure than a link would be appreciated.

It´s a true story, an autobiography. Trailer:

Churchill: The Finest Hours.

Totally and utterly biased suggestion: it was written and directed by my father-in-law.

Valerian.

Based on the long running French comic book series, said by some to be an influence on a initialy failing sf filmmaker called Mr Lucas.

Right, bit of an odd one potentially but Warrior.

My wife and I watched it after a work colleague recommended it saying that it was the best film he had ever seen. We were dubious, considering the subject but we watched it and turned to each other at the end - that was pretty good!

Trouble With The Curve. An aging baseball talent scout (Clint Eastwood) is trying to hide the fact that he’s losing his eyesight. His daughter (Amy Adams) risks losing a high paying career by taking leave to help him against his will. Another talent scout (Justin Timberlake) from a rival team develops a relationship with her and it gets complicated. There’s also an underdog talent and two prima donnas involved. And no, it’s not a baseball movie as such. Rather it’s a father-daughter movie with baseball as a backdrop.

Jere’s a link to it on Amazon https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&ved=2ahUKEwiwh4Ot6LbpAhVEOKwKHfdZDvUQFjAAegQIARAB&url=https://www.amazon.com/Trouble-Curve-Clint-Eastwood/dp/B00A2AU0KI&usg=AOvVaw2zgDd1qPewtfYZ2r4-LT4r

Well...

Malcolm (1986) - quite simply the best heist movie to ever come out of New Zealand now lurking on YouTube

Supermarionation fans (no not the bouncing Italian plumber) can find all of Gerry Andersons works at the Internet Archive.
Torchy the Battery boy, Supercar, Fireball XL-5, Thunderbirds, Stingray & Captain Scarlet

Icebound: The Greatest Dog Story Ever Told - True story about a team of men and dogs who set out to relay an antitoxin across 674 miles of Alaskan wilderness to save the town of Nome after diphtheria had broken out.

White Tiger: a Russian soldier is found barely alive in a burnt out Soviet tank among dozens of other wrecks destroyed my a single Panzer VI painted all in white that mysteriously disappears after each attack. Russian with English subs, no cgi and probably one of the last movies you will see with this old iron still moving.

If you want a little cry, i would try the 1968 version of Heidi. It is so touching at the emd.

How about 'Snow Walker' based on the book 'Walk Well my Brother'

Not films but two short presentations from the DEFCON hackers conference in Las Vegas that will hopefully have you crying with laughter. There is a little techno-babble, just relax it's not much so stick with it for the payback.

Black Robe is available on YouTube. The canoe sequences are an added bonus to an enjoyable film that looks at the early colonisation of Canada.
