    In the light of what is going on here and around the world we might be looking for suggestions for films about seeing out extreme situations.


    I'd suggest 'Stalingrad'


    Anything better?

    seeing that we're living through a type of sci-fi movie senario....i think the likes of Outbreak, Contagion and Pandemic are apt

    Very underrated little film. And quite scary.

    My suggestion is "Bad Boy Bubby"

    66 days. Movie about Bobby Sands. Shows you can last 2 months without grub or bog roll. Lessons could be learned by panic buyers.

    Mentioned a few times above but Contagion is a must. Watched it last night again, scary how close it is to what we are seeing today.

    A few Zombie flicks will be getting watched too, Train to Busan and World War Z.

    and rounding off the bus tour with...
    Resident Evil (2002)



    This concludes your jouney...
    you may not have ended up where you wanted but:
    - the bus is turned off
    - the driver has walked away
    - hold on, you're outside the city in the middle of nowhere
    - it's dark
    - groaning noises getting closer
    Graaaagh!

    Not necessarily related to current goings on, but when I saw it (the original) creepy, unnerving.

    Better than that film with Sandra Bullock, not sure of the name of that film she was in, if it was about a person having a mental breakdown or a horror.
    Guess you have to suspend disbelief with this one too (but it's watchable),
    find it hard to accept the protagonist/creature has a specific thing they cue to, and no-one figured it out earlier (like before humanity was wiped out) that could also be the thing that is their weakness

    watch comedies, the news beats any movie hands down at the moment

    A belief in gender identity involves a level of faith as there is nothing tangible to prove its existence which, as something divorced from the physical body, is similar to the idea of a soul. - Colette Colfer

    on the main covid discussion thread someone asked: what are the lads on the Space Station thinking...?

    which got me thinking of a film I've seen, Love, produced by Angels & Airwaves, its up on youtube in full, and in HD

    random quote from under the trailer on youtube
    Movie is not deep and it does not require brain power as some hipsters are claiming... its just a lame movie that has a msg that humans need to connect or we loose our ****, I for one love being alone. My chihuahua is a better companion than most humans I meet. This flick could havr being better if it was 15mins long.
    Still better than Interstellar. :)
