Try to find Infernal Affairs, the Hong Kong film in which the departed is based. It’s a far superior film.

Yes, I've seen all 3 - I had a bit of a Hong Kong period when I was a member of the old Love Film scheme.
The sequal and prequal are both good, but not a patch on the original.
For A Better Tomorrow is another good series.

I watched this the other day. Mix of good, corny and intensity, leaving me with a sense of foreboding about our place in the universe.
Speaking of intense, A Vigilante on Amazon was a good, but hard, watch. Topic was domestic abuse and her road to revenge and redemption. Not the happiest of film, yet well done.

Bad Boys for Life. I hadn't seen the previous incarnations of this and definitely won't do now. Awful.

Only The Brave. Really watchable film about wildfire firefighters. Film is based on true events from 2013.

Try the old Kirk Douglas black and white cowboy film, Only the Brave

The Argument. Silly, but found myself constantly chuckling.

The Gentlemen on Prime, enjoyed it.
Did anyone else e who watched it thought Hugh Grant had modelled his character with a touch of Ricky Gervais ?

Silk Road 2021, true dark web story about buying drugs on line, worth a watch.

Breathe. Recently on BBC2. Sad but uplifting too.

Just watched it, excellent film albeit somewhat slow paced.

Adopt A Highway - loved it.
Fantasy Island. Schlock horror loosely based on the old tv series. Not really a horror, I don't do horror, with some nice nods to the past. A particularly good closing scene for those who remember.
When we are scraping the barrel for film to watch right now this was not the worst

I love Kubrick's Barry Lyndon but never been able to persuade my Mrs to watch it. However...given how much she enjoyed watching Bridgerton I think she might now be convinced it's worth watching. And as I recently recorded it...
It truly is a great and especially beautiful looking film. As some comment about it - there are so many scenes that you could pause, take a snapshot, and you'd have something like a Gainsborough painting.

I couldn't get into Bad Boys for Life but thoroughly enjoyed Bad Boy, and roared through Bad Boys II.

The Guvnors, an old v new street gang low budget film. Simple, sweary and a reasonable watch.
Sabotage. DEA thriller with Arnie Schwarzenegger.
