My favorite game to play with my dad is watching random, classic British movies or tv shows and then counting how many people we recognize as players on Midsomer Murders.

If you want (need?) two hours of carefree, unfussy, and happily predictable entertainment, Bridget Jones MATB is your movie.
You will cry a little, you will laugh a little, you know the characters, and there are no surprises.

Bridget Jones: mad about the boy, Micheal Morris

The characters are flat, the story is sketchy, and the actors not at their best.
Was Weetabix really necessary?

Act of Murder (1964), a British Edgar Wallace B-movie, involves a romantic triangle and from the start the plot twists come thick and fast. A psychological thriller with lots of paranoia and a pleasingly hard-edged nasty streak. Great stuff.

We Shall See, a 1964 British Edgar Wallace thriller with some nasty emotional betrayals and twisted relationships. At the centre is a woman who thinks everyone hates her. Turns out to be more interesting and quirky than you expect. Good film.

Sidney J. Furie's The Snake Woman, an ultracheap 1961 UK horror movie that is better than you might expect. A girl is believed to be an evil serpent-woman. A beautiful exotic snake-woman. Well-made atmospheric film.

Wrong Number is a 1959 British heist thriller involving train and armoured car robberies and a beautiful, glamorous, sexy and dangerous woman. And of course phone calls. A neat plot, terrific acting, well executed heist sequences. Good stuff.

This is Spinal Tap, which is probably the best movie about rock music ever made. If you want to know why, all you need to do is look below.

How They Made It

In 1978, Rob Reiner created a pilot for a sketch comedy called The TV Show

I found Saltburn very enjoyable, at times hilarious and sexy and (mildly) shocking.
The story does not make sense, and some roles are miscast, but still 8/10.
