One of the non-HD channels is airing Buffy episodes, it's been fun watching them again. I like Miss Marple but I've never been a Poirot fan. There are certain movies I can watch multiple times, usually because I can have them in the background, still enjoy them without having to pay serious attention. I like The Intern (Robert Deniro, Anne Hathaway), The Martian (Chiwetel Ejiofor, Donald Glover), Limitless (Bradley Cooper), Sense and Sensibility (Emma Thompson). For TV, PBS is now airing the newest episodes of Endeavor and in October they will air Season 3 of Poldark, but I must confess that I've already seen it since my daughter has a Smart TV Box and while I was kitty sitting I treated myself to Season 3. ? But I will be watching it again come October. M. Sunday21 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just_A_Guy Posted August 26, 2017 Report Share Posted August 26, 2017 I've been enjoying Madam Secretary; though it seems like the title character gets a little smarmy once or twice per episode. Still entertaining, though. zil 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seashmore Posted August 26, 2017 Report Share Posted August 26, 2017 I agree with Stranger Than Fiction. I love seeing Will Ferrell in a serious role. Dan in Real Life helped me appreciate Steve Carrell in the same way. Mona Lisa Smile has a good bit to say about feminism. (Liberal art history teacher at Wellesley women's college in the 1950s) Corrina, Corrina manages to address grief and racial tensions using cuteness. Leverage and Firefly are TV series that explore various relationships (platonic, familial, and romantic), similar to Parks & Rec. American Pickers is edutainment at its finest. Their passion for antiques is contagious. If you want to fully appreciate a conversation with me in person, I recommend being very familiar with The Princess Bride, Psych, and Firefly (and it's accompanying movie Serenity).

Backroads Posted August 27, 2017 Report Share Posted August 27, 2017 (edited) I'm sure I watch Stranger Than Fiction monthly. Lars and the Real Girl is another keeper. Ryan Gosling sinking deeper and deeper into himself to the concern of family and community... only to order a, ahem, sex doll off the internet and introduce her around town as his missionary girlfriend. It's an incredibly sweet movie. Monk and Psych are two of the funniest shows I've ever seen. And if you haven't binge watched Stranger Things on Netflix, you need to get on that.
