Off Topic NETFLIX and Box Set series Thread.

Yes. Good version. Futility of WW1. Good bit re trying to sign the armistice in November 1918.

 

I'll give it a watch with a beer tonight.
I've seen a low budget type film of the same name a few years ago .

 

Do you mean the 1930 version?

 

It wasn’t a low budget film. It will have cost a lot by the standards of the time. It was a 1930 film regarded as a classic made only two years after talkies started. It won 2 Oscars including best film.

 

Beat me to it whilst I was typing. It was a very advanced film by the standards of the day. It was only 2 years since Al Jolson had first spoke on a film.

 

Think that was the one with Richard Thomas Aka John Boy Walton. This one is much better.

 

Never seen that. I assumed he was referring to the original. Maybe that was the one he saw.

 

No it was one made about 15 years ago think it was a Hallmark film

 

No not that one .

 

As I said above wasn’t aware of that one. The 1930 one still holds up well.

 

I watched the recent one on Netflix, and as someone who generally doesn't enjoy TV or film, I thought it was very good and moving.

 

You watched any Scandi Noir stuff lately ?

 

Yes. And quite a few foreign crime ones on Netflix, Walter Presents etc…

 

Watched a really good one on Sky Atlantic . Der Pass .
Also found Wisting really good

 

Yep. Just watched it (The Piano, episode 2, All 4 catch up). Absolutely amazing. Truly.

 

Likewise. Not Scandi but City On A Hill a cop series set in Boston the 1970s on SKY Atlantic is worth a watch.

 

I'll give that a go .
Still working through Babylon Berlin .
Excellent massive budget series worth watching

 

Snabba Cash on Netflix is worth a watch. Over the top and gives the impression Stockholm Tiger is taking his life in his hands by simply going shopping going by the running gun battles in shopping malls and everywhere else but quite enjoyed it.

 

Amazing series. Currently watching another set in post war Berlin. The defeated. Worth a go when you find time.
