Also love "Outlander," though I have to go back to it. And "Gran Hotel" (versión español) was excellent! It was Downton Abbey, but with more sex and more people getting slapped in the face.
I haven't seen Downton Abbey. You understand Spanish pretty well so if you like comedy there are two movies in Netflix very funny "Off course" and "The tribe", and drama "The Invisible Guest"
If you liked "Gran Hotel," you'd like "Downton Abbey." Thanks for your recommendations. I do understand Spanish "pretty well."
I´ve tried to find Downton Abbey in Netflix but I haven´t found it, maybe it´s in Premium or another Network?If you liked "Gran Hotel," you'd like "Downton Abbey." Thanks for your recommendations. I do understand Spanish "pretty well."
Me either. One thing you might try is that your cable provider probably has an "On Demand" feature, with free TV shows, and it's often on there.
I'm very sorry to interrupt you ladies but I just wanted to say I watched "Downton Abbey" a few times when my Sister stayed at our house a few years ago before Dad became really argumentative & ill. I really enjoyed it. I thought it was a more modern version of "Upstairs, Downstairs". It can't beat "Upstairs, Downstairs" though as the 1st time I saw Gordon Jackson was in Disney's "Greyfriars Bobby" which I love & he has a good Scottish accent in that so to hear him with a posh accent in "Upstairs, Downstairs" was a shock. I know he was in "The Great Escape" too but war films aren't really my cup of tea.If you liked "Gran Hotel," you'd like "Downton Abbey." Thanks for your recommendations.

I saw it. I loved it. I'm not old enough to remember Elton John's early days though. I learnt a few things about him & thought Taron Egerton sounded almost perfect. (My Sister borrowed his autobiography & said it's really good & shows you parts of his life shown in parts of the film & more. I don't know whether I should buy or borrow a copy & find out for myself though.)
I did think Bohemian Rhapsody was much better. Rocketman seemed to glide on the coattails of that one. Still, I did think Bohemian Rhapsody got a bit judgmental on Freddie, when in truth his later days weren't as lonely and bereft of friends as they were made to look. Also, he didn't really know he was HIV+ when they played Live Aid, but that was dramatic license and worked. What they had, though, was a built-in climax, in the Live-Aid performance, which they replicated, note and gesture. That is widely considered to be possibly the best 21 minutes of live performance in Rock 'n Roll history. And they opened the film with it, so it was much more tightly structured, as a film.
A few days ego I saw Rocket Man and honesty it didn't tell me too much, I liked Bohemian Rhapsody more starting with the acting of Rami Malek.
I love Benicio Del Toro! And I did think "Sicario" was excellent, though, as you say, very rough, and I haven't watched it again. Maybe I will, now that you mention it. I've said this before, but I do hope that you will give "Roma" the time it deserves. Pick a good time to sit down and focus on a longer film, turn off the lights, and watch start to finish. It's a beautiful film and an emotional journey. Another one I'd put in that category is "Boyhood," which is a couple of years old, and we may have talked about it. It was a labor of love from Rick Linklater, ("Slackers," "Dazed and Confused," the "Before Sunrise/Sunset/Midnight" trilogy,) where he shot every summer for a couple of weeks with a small group of actors, and basically watched a kid grow up over 12 years, so in real time. It was the same boy, from age 6-18. As is usual in the best of Linklater's films, kind of "nothing happens." But the sum total is astonishingly beautiful and resonant. If you've ever been a kid and/or a parent, it will ring true, nostalgic and poignant.
