The series was gripping, even though it is sub titles

Oh the ironing,

Seriously, good film or the series if you prefer. Andy, if you haven't seen it, its a must watch

I would also recommend "letters from Iwo Jima" , told from the Japanese perspective . Clint Eastwood award winning epic

Talking of sub titled films, watched Under Paris, really enjoyed it if not a bit silly.

I do love a good Jaws type movie though, even watched a couple of the sharknado movies although gave up a few minutes into the third.

Must dig out my copy of Piranha 3D, I seem to remember enjoying that 🤓

I saw the Paris one. Yes it was a bit silly, but it was watchable

The first Sharknado was funny but then they just couldn't stop making more and more identikit copies of the same film but switching the venue.

Then I recently saw "Attack of the two headed shark" which was pretty puerile. There seem millions of such films around now - funny for the first few minutes then revert to par stereotypes

The vast majority of sequels, and prequels for that matter, tend to be naff.

The Empire Strikes Back a notable exception.

My Star Wars experience is pretty pure, I saw the original on its Derby premiere (at the old ABC) and have never seen more than the odd accidental minute of any subsequent sequel/prequel. I did think it was excellent btw

Oh I have watched the Bricktop voiceovers on YouTube, amusing once
