Oii don’t get me started about Ip man and Taxi!! Love those movies.

If you liked ip man, something like chocolate might be up your street, it’s a kung fu flick about an autistic girl

I'm sold!

I was working in a video shop. Had all sorts of mad characters, celebs etc come in.

So this older lady comes in, starts talking about Kung Fu movies which was unusual as she really didn't look the part, whatever that looks like. Starts talking about Ip Man which at the time was totally off my radar. Gives me a pirate disc. I never saw her again. Thanks older lady.

That old lady was a legend.
A few off the top of my head:
Ip Man
Matrix
Training Day
Shot Caller
Tropic Thunder
Aliens
Fear and Loathing
Saving Private Ryan
Shawshank Redemption
Django Unchained

Not favourite, but for some reason Run Lola Run came into my head as a suggestion. Do not watch it dubbed, watch it in German with subtitles. Completely different vibe.

That’s hilarious!!! Deffo on my watch list

Dead man’s shoes
Kung fu hustle
What we do in the shadows
Lego Batman
Inglorious bastards
Kill bill 1 & 2
Spirited away
Porco Rosso

Was gonna comment dead man's shoes, fucking Epic film

Very niche at the minute but certainly growing. Superb film Paddy Constantine plays a fucking great psycho

Way too many good films for a favourite, the following aren't necessarily favourites, but films I enjoyed
Super (2010)
Idiocracy
National Lampoon's (Chevy Chase)
Tropic Thunder
The Upside
Whiplash
Good fellas
Saving Mr Banks

Not movies, but
Snowfall
The Wire
Elementary

Gonna actually watch all these trailers whilst my team work!!! Really wanna binge watch movies today!!!

Thank you

I couldn’t name 1, I think my head would explode from trying to decide 🤯 You’re in luck though, I’ve got a big fat list of films i’ve been watching in my notes 😂 What kind of movies do you like?

If it’s stoner-esque films you’re after there’s loads like the big lebowski, dazed n confused, half baked, friday, fear n loathing in vegas, harold n kumar, how high, cheech n chong, there’s a few off the top of my fried head i can think of 😂

American beauty’s a great film as well but dunno if counts as a stoner film 🤔

Napoleon dynamites always got a special place in my heart as well, always loved that film

I watched beasts of no nation, and city of god again over the weekend and i’d forgotten how good they were, would highly recommend if you haven’t seen them already… Also watched saltburn a couple weeks ago but thought it was trying a bit too hard and didn’t love it or find it too shocking, but it’s got the whole world talking atm so might be worth a watch if you haven’t seen it yet

Here’s a lil list of some great films i’ve watched over the past few months though, interstellar, seven samurai, 12 angry men, shutter island, no country for old men, there will be blood, grand budapest hotel, train spotting 2, arrival, moonlight, new bladerunner, social network, spirited away, pulp fiction, hateful 8, back to the future

ofc there’s some absolute classics you have to watch at some point if you haven’t already, shawshank, godfather, alien, space odyssey, citizen kane, jurassic park, the matrix, fight club, inception, raiders of the lost ark, the shining, se7en, eternal sunshine of the spotless mind, silence of the lambs, gladiator, good the bad n the ugly, do the right thing, forrest gump, taxi driver, saving private ryan, one flew over the cuckoos nest, american psycho… hopefully there’s enough there to find something you like, sorry for the obscenely long lists 😅

Wow, you like your movies! I haven’t watched a new movie that’s impressed me for some time…
Watched Event Horizon for the third time instead though- blinder!👌

Exactly, I really don’t watch movies but I ended up watching the old school “snakes on the plane” and gave me a thrill to watch some movies to reminisce

I’ve got my amazing old housemates to thank for that, they both used to write film reviews so would watch a new film every day, and then over covid it was like 3 films a day 😂 so i got really into the films with them

And then it started to get really niche, I’d walk into the living room and end up getting really into some old artsy black n white swedish horror film or something! So i’ve got them to thank for getting me into the films 😊

I really love that film. There is also Pandorum for more sci fi horror.

Ok, you and I have incredibly similar taste in films it seems as I love almost all of them.

Have you seen Yojimbo? A classic, and The Good The Bad and The Ugly is practically identical (or, ripped off completely...) but with gunslingers instead of samurai.

Big immission from your stoner list for me would be Withnail & I. A true classic.

Looks like we’ll have to organise a lil LB movie marathon 🍿🎥

Yojimbo is an absolute classic! Reminds me a lot of fist full of dollars if you’ve seen that

Of course, how could I forget Withnail and I… truly british stoner film never goes amiss 😂

Ah, yes, I'm getting my Leone movies mixed up.

So easy to do with Leone, so many great films. I think my fav is the same as B0W13 in once upon a time in the west. Feel like it’s one of those faultless films that gets everything right

Easy to do they are all brilliant, i think Once Upon a Time in The West is my favourite of his maybe, Ennio Morricones score and that opening scene!

Fully agree with you there, think that’s got to be my fav Leone film, just can’t pick any faults with it at all!

You’re an absolute legend!!! Looks like I’m gonna be snacking on popcorn for a long time with your suggestions!

Get a lil movie bucket list written down and you can start ticking them off 1 by 1, you’ll be entertained for lots of evenings to come 👍 can get some nice bud and snacks in and you’ve got a perfect chill evening sorted :)

Papito this is what I’m talking about, Friday night in with snacks and a fat bong, kick it back and movie binge!!!!

Would have to be the dark Knight trilogy for me, proper cinematic experiences.

Sexy beast classic film ,Ben Kingsley as Don is loon.
Life of brian monty python

As effortlessly cool now as it was the first time I watched nearly 30 years ago.

Not bad for a first directorial effort :)

Hey Family,

Watched the: Society of the Snow
the other day on Netflix. If you like movies based on true stories , then is a good one to watch! Since we watched it , our team has stopped complaining about weather in UK :))

Peace and Respect

Will give it a watch!! I’m trying to forget about this Ugly UK weather!!!

Deffo a shout

The Boondock Saints
The Baytown outlaws
Thursday
Go
The Business
Dead mans Shoes
The Night Comes for us
No One Lives

Vacation

Could list forever but there are a few i am not seeing mentioned, bit of everything.

Trainspotting, the book is even better than the movie....oh Up In Smoke too!

The Raid 1 and 2
The Skeleton Key
The Butterfly Effect

The butterfly effect really is the perfect movie for a stoner to mull over lol

Gonna see what that’s all about for sure

an interesting connection between time , decisions , effects they take in life , where can they lead you

The raid is epic!!!

you need to get on the Night comes for us, same crazy cast same crazy Indonesians, ultimate slipper kicking :)

Yeah an example that effects , mean nothing 😅

Most underrated animated film ever and funny as fuck is
‘The Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientist’s’. Made by Aardman studios. Just sublime. No idea why they never made a sequel!
For an intelligent thought provoking movie try ‘The Secret in Their Eyes’ Best foreign subtitled film I’ve ever seen. There’s a football stadium scene which blows me away! Both marvellous stoned. Enjoy

Training Day,

Just a couple of the all time greats imo

My 2pence worth
- kung fu hustle
- Big trouble in little china, absolute john carpenter classic

I watched rocky 1 , 2 and the best with mr t...3, with my 8 year old daughter and 11 year old son and they absolutely loved them especially rocky 3. I really enjoyed too, great simple story and characters. The music is so emotive and along with the epic final scenes, made me well up.
I might do rocky 4 with kids at the weekend but that is as far as I go. As the cheese ratio is too much for me after the series peaked at 3.

Peep Show

might even see me make a cameo or two

The secret ingredient is crime!!!!

I’ve just run to Windsor

Just started watching 'Spaced' again.

I'm 40 now so it is my generation, but it's really good!

(yup showing my age)

It's on all4. Along with Peep Show (which yeah i like too!)

Don't judge me!

Haha

Cheers BB

Oh my god I've got some fucking Jaffa Cakes in my coat pocket. :-)

Hahaha, we've all been there!

https://youtu.be/EcfVqsiesmU

lol. Must give this watch

I'm in the middle of re-watching Spaced and felt like I had to scroll for hours to find somebody who finally mentioned it! xD

Well I’ll judge you... if I could give 2 upvotes I would, agree with you totally, 2 of my fave ever shows, making me think of hitting Spaced up again...

Thank you - you just reminded me I need to re-watch spaced again!

I was too old for it even back then, but the clever references still tickle me all these years later..

I loved the shows of that generation. Nathan Barley. Day Today. Brass Eye also. Then The Mighty Boosh.

Holy shit the Mighty Boosh. 😂. Literally only just remembered it.

That crack fox still gives me nightmares. 🦊

The Wire
The Ozark
Altered Carbon
Arrested Developement
People Just Do Nothing
Peep Show
Trailer Park Boys
Big Mouth
Fargo
Life On Mars
Dark Tourist
The Wolves Of Yellowstone
Utopia
It's Always Sunny In Philidelphia
Homeland
The Killing
Punisher
The End Of The Fucking World

This is what I can think of right now; definitely more to add. If anyone wants a little review/opinon or rundown on any of these shows let me know, more than happy. Also let me know what you're in the mood for, or usually like to watch and I can fire back with recommendations

Ah fuck it, nothing better to do, haha

The Wire - best thing ever written. Slow burner due to complication of story, but it is relatable as the war on drugs does not have a start or end to it, and street dealing doesn't just start, therefore you are immediately immersed in the story without even realising. Only figured that out the second time watching it. Also some great visual metaphors throughout. Also note there is no cue music to instigate feelings. All music is from source, i.e. car radio, night club. Only cue music is when Avon enters the lowrisers for the first time

The Ozark - Although breaking bad is good, it's not worth the hype. This is the older cooler brother of breaking bad. Calculated and intense at times. Story is always moving forward with real character progression

Altered Carbon - Absolutely fantastic sci-fi with great visuals and a great story line. Really left me itching to read the book, and I'm not a sci-fi fan

Arrested Development - Intelligent comedy with so much layered jokes you can watch this five times and still find punch lines you never noticed before

People Just Do Nothing - Threw this on not expecting much which is perhaps why I found it to be so good. Off the wall characters made completely believable by the actors playing the parts. Excellent idea, excellent execution.

Peep Show - This is a classic, you need to watch this

Trailer Park Boys - Another classic everyone here should be able to relate to

Big Mouth - Great for a background watch, but really funny and does take you back to your teenage years at times, haha

Fargo - Beautiful cinematography, great story captured very close to the original film. Billy Bob absolutely shines in this role in season one

Life On Mars - Made in early naughties, but just as relevant as today

Dark Tourist - good short run of a different kind of travel show. The kind of travel I like too

The Wolves Of Yellowstone - Nature documentary that has a story line Walt Disney would be proud of. Really makes you realise the balance of nature

Utopia - Such an underrated British TV series

It's Always Sunny In Philidelphia - Great zany show about dysfunctional friends who live in their own world, and drink in their own pub causing all kinds of ridiculous antics

Homeland - Great series that will always have you wondering what, or who is next

The Killing - Only recommend the first seasons. It drags you along on the witch hunt convincing you you know the answer

Punisher - About time they stuck to the gritty comic. Refreshing that this i not aimed at kids and fattening wallets.

The End Of The Fucking World - Two out there teens who decide to adventure together with, maybe, disastrous consequences

Peep show one of my all time favs and can't to wrong with arrested development what a classic

Sad that they never manager to run the show normally... And probably we won't se another season ever :( love arrested development

Peep show and shameless uk!!

Currently halfway through the first series of Altered Carbon after reading this thread and seeing your recommendation. I'm a PhilipKDick fan and I'm really enjoying it, cheers 👍

Dark on Netflix. German show about time travel set in a village where kids keep going missing every 33 years. Stunning production values, really intricately plotted, three series, all ties together. Loved it. Has an English dub but the German audio with subtitles is best.

Dark is a masterpiece. Watching S2 whilst really baked was transcendent

End of the fucking world is really good. Strange and offbeat which I like. With some characters that don’t give a fuck. And it’s British and very relatable (even though it’s about a lad that thinks he’s a psychopath haha).

Better call saul is must after braking baf.

100% but do you think you could watch them the other way round and it’s all still as good? As I really do, integrated them amazingly well.

Watched breaking bad, thought it was good, maybe a little over hyped, better call saul never really appealed to me, maybe I should try the 1st few episodes.

Cheers

I think it is better than braking bad

Yeah I agree, I liked BB a lot but I came to it a bit late and like UKgrower hearing the hype maybe expected too much. Better call Saul I didn’t expect much of at all, didn’t think it’d get past Series 1 but now I think it’s better than BB.

Defo watch Saul.
Really new is Gangs of London, not too bad. The fight scenes are brutal.

If you enjoyed Breaking Bad, then give Better Call Saul a go. I always thought he stole every scene he was in during Breaking Bad.

The Wire ...

Best show ever made.

Hum.....

this man knows.....

Succession

It’s a the best show in years imo

If you want a Change and a Tons of one line bombs to drop at work or with your mates there is only one place to go
"Letter Kenny" it will almost make you want to live there
10ply/Sally/Hard No and Bonny McMurryyyyyyyyyyyyyy

And if you want some of the best swearing on telly "The Thick of IT" / In The Loop
You will never watch a MP without Laughing again The Thick of it is almost a Documatary
Malcom Tucker is a
Best name calling every "Fuckbob Shitpants"

Sorry about the spelling
I am just dislexick @is there a strain that will help with this???

yes, they will all help make it worse. on the bright side, since everybody started typing on their phones, dyslexia is hardly noticeable anymore and you really don't have to apologise.

not a change if you just left that trailer park

My favourite show of all time is Bojack Horseman, trust me, give it a chance

Rick & morty puts any animated series in a corner sorry :p

Mindhunter on Netflix.

Still Game

Gomorrah if you dont mind subtitles, its an Italian crime show set in Naples. Simply brilliant.

Murphys law
Stargate universe, SG1, Atlantis
Firefly
The Expanse

The shield
Hetty Wainthropp investigates

Gomorrah is the shit man, one of my all time favs
Oz is a downer but an awesome show

Ozark
Better call Saul
The wire
Boardwalk empire
Sopranos

Just watched Gangs of London which was banging
Chernobyl was a masterpiece

Yean Gomorrah is probably my number 1 show, the setting, actors, story... superb. Cant wait to watch the Ciro Di Marzio movie too.

Wow I didn’t even know that was a thing? When’s that out?

L'Immortale or the Immortal is the name, was out last year in Italy. Have tried to find out when its out in the UK but no joy yet

Nice one man, I’ll deffo keep my eyes open for that one.

Its on sky atlantic now mate, its certainly worth a watch an sets up the next season of Gomorrah nicely

Literally just finished watching brassic 2 and Save me Too. Both class. Surely everyone on here has watched Brassic.....!!!?

I do, doesn't quite hit the levels that Shameless did back in the day but still a lot of fun. Plus it's good to hear actual accents on TV instead of just American lol

If you like weird? Get baked & watch.

Respect for Garth Merenghi, everybody should see that.

On that note, throw Mighty Boosh into the mix as well.

Big Train to round off a trio of lesser-known, top quality British comedies.

Recently finished Band Of Brothers...so good, as was its follow up The Pacific.

Have you ever watched Travellers? (if you was a fan of stargate back in the day this will interest you) or if your a sci fi fan, Very good story telling and actors (Canadian)

Another one for the list, cheers.

Just spotted the Ricky Garvacie ( sp ) afterlife season 2 is out, thought the 1st series was decent, so that's another to easy the lock down shit TV

i liked that a lot more than i thought i would. also, colony on netflix even though it was killed by covid and never finished.

I'm watching Detectorists at the moment. Really good. Funny and with beautiful scenery. On BBC iPlayer and Netflix.

Shout for detectorists.
Great theme tune btw.
Excellent characters.
Great series about the sackler family’s and there murderous medical misbehaviour ( painkiller )
Starring ferris bueller.

Lilyhammer on Netflix.
"A New York mobster goes into hiding in rural Lillehammer in Norway after testifying against his former associates"
Steven Van Zandt, or Silvio from The Sopranos, plays the main in this hilarious show

Emmerdale or Loose Women. The News at ten is good too.

the queens gambit!

Some of the things I've enjoyed are:
The Boys
Vikings
100
Only fools and horses
Into the Badlands
Breaking Bad
Picard
Game of Thrones ( Except the last season which I found terrible )
Star Trek The next Generation - Deep Space Nine
Stargate Atlantis
Treadstone

*The Queen's Gambit- short series (one season only) but good storyline
*Lie To Me
*The Mentalist
*Sherlock

Gomorrah

Ozark

Ifyou seen BB, definitely watch Better Call Saul.
Comedy? The Office US and then Parks n Recreation. Or maybe Shameless US? Little Britain it's always great company.
If you seen Broadwalk E, you probably have seen the sopranos. If not its a MUST! Ive been watching House of Cards and it's quite nice too.
Maybe 6 feet under, Weeds, Dexter, Chuck, My name it's Earl??
Cience? COSMOS!!! A mind blowing and mind opening cience series. Everyone should watch it before they die. Either the original and first with Carl Sagan (it might not have the best visual representations but Carl its Carl) or the new Neil Tyson.
In to some stand ups? George Carlin is a must, the young Carlin to the old political Carlin.
I would also like to give a shout out to my Spanish Fellows on THE Money Heist.

Orphan black! one of my favourites.. the wire.. Russian doll..cynical,funny. end of the fucking world. Money heist.. prison break..cleverly written. Better call Saul if you enjoyed breaking bad.

Rick and Morty and weed is my favourite combination. Snoop dog’s talk show on YouTube is hilarious to watch as-well.
I find American horror story hilarious, but only when I’m high, otherwise it’s pretty terrifying lol.

Films : seven psychopaths is a must watch, requiem for a dream and pulp fiction, all time faves. and I did write a detailed review and much more but it was deleted :/

If you have Netflix Murder Mountain is good, it about growers in the emerald triangle

Top Boy. Absolute banger. Uk breaking bad/scarface perhaps.

Yo UK Grower. I have just discovered Channel Zero on StarZplay, prime add on. It’s a really good horror series, twisted stuff, defo a bit freaky.

To any one who likes comedies don't be put off What We Do in the Shadows, it's vampires but it's not really a "vampire" type show.... it's really funny when high and the second series has just come out on iplayer.

Midnight Gospel. It's like a dmt trip mixed with a podcast. Amazing stuff

If you're into Sci-fi I'd highly recommend Altered Carbon on Netflix. Really cool story and visuals. I seen somebody recommended Ozark, excellent as well. If you like animation and feel like a laugh give Rick and Morty a watch, The Midnight Gospel is also new to Netflix but really trippy / funny in my opinion. Happy watching!

The Wire
Money Heist
Animal Kingdom
Community
Designated Survivor

Narcos

I almost pissed myself with laughter watching the first episode as I watched the trailer but wasn't really for how out there this really is. A must watch for any sci fi and gaming fan or if you have a sick sense of humour like me :)

Stranger Things Season 1 - 80's themed sci-fi thriller with endearing characters that had me on the edge of my seat throughout.

True Detective Season 1 - Basically an 8 hour movie that oozes quality. Pacing/cinematography/acting/dialogue are all A++ for me.

Trailer Park Boys - Get baked, watch this, laugh your arse off.

Peep Show - Clever and hilarious.

Sopranos, the Wire and Band of Brothers.

Band of Brothers is a masterpiece, great shout! Any recommendations of war films/series that are similar mate?

Give 'The Pacific' a go. Its HBOs follow up to 'Band Of Brothers' set during the allied assault on the Pacific region during WW2

Trailer Park Boys should be perfect for everyone on here, given the enormous amount of smoking and growing throughout!

Clarkson's Farm is a good watch

The Gentleman on netflix right now is decent!

3 episodes in , loving it.

Since it hasn’t been mentioned here , it only proves how massively underrated Wilfred is . Had great laughs :) U.S. version of an Australian cult sitcom about a meek young man and a pot-smoking talking dog named Wilfred (actually actor Jason Gann in a dog suit, whom everyone else sees as just a dog). Won’t spoilt it anymore
