Amazon Prime Film/TV Series Recommendations

that Gordon Ramsey nonsense?

you've watched everything there is to watch?

I thought I Care A Lot was an ok way to waste two hours on a rainy Sunday, I could watch Rosamund do anything though. Film is a bit ridiculous though.
I enjoyed Greenland, pretty sure I watched that on Amazon, a half decent disaster movie a bit more subtle than the others.

My wife and I enjoyed Bosch and Absentia. Anything similar on Amazon Prime that's decent?

Great film! Wouldn't call it a chick film at all.

To me it’s a chick flick, something a gang of women might watch the day of their hen party. I thought it was good, but I wouldn’t put it in same bracket of films like goodfellas, wolf of Wall Street, casino, scarface, other male strong gangster films. To me it’s mean girls with drugs.

I watched Widows the other night. It was full of women like but the bird wanted to watch it and I was hoping to get me hole.

Widows is a proper good heist film, doesn’t matter if it is chicks pulling off the heist, it’s not a girlie film like Hustlers, Mean Girls and Mama Mia.

I know I'm super late to the party, but I watched Man in the High Castle over the last few weeks and really enjoyed it. I think it does slide a little in quality in the later couple of seasons but I didn't think it was anywhere near as bad as it's made out to, there are some amazing moments and themes/concepts in season 4.

I knew absolutely nothing about it going in other than it's based in a world where the Axis won the war, and season 1 was an absolute Tv series equivalent of a page turner!

Movies we watched on it lately:

Departed - Excellent
The Founder - thought it was good
GameNight - enjoyed it more than I thought we would, worth the watch
42 - Movie about the first coloured baseball player. Thought it was pretty good, although I wasn't mad about Harrison ford in it for some reason, i think it's generally thought of as a good performance but it felt really forced to me or something.

Something for the kids, my daughter really likes creative galaxy, it's a cartoon where the main guy uses art to solve something and then it cuts to a couple of kids giving you directions on how to make the thing the guy makes.

Prime control of what kids watch is aboslute garbage though, you can't block specific content like you can with netflix, and there is tonnes of crap from Youtube on it.

I had this discussion with a female friend recently and her view was that "chick flick" was a term used to prevent films mainly starring and about females characters and stories from encroaching on "proper films" like The Godfather, literally an example she used.

I guess it depends on how you use it. I do use it as a value judgement: weak genre films which target a female demographic, a counterpart to the kind of direct-to-dvd action junk that targets men. I wouldn't refer to Mean Girls as a chick flick, any more than I'd call Die Hard action junk. Mean Girls is one of the best comedies of the decade it was released.
