Lockdown Watchlists (DVD/Blu-ray/NetFlix etc)

[hardtack 11,107]

As a spin-off from the DVD/Movies topic, I thought it might be an idea to set up a post where we could make film and television recommendations to see us all through the lockdown.

For me (and I’ll keep editing and adding to this as I think of more titles):

Films on Blu-ray/DVD:

Parasite, Joker, anything by Jim Jarmusch, anything by David Lynch, collections of the original Looney Tunes cartoons, 

NetFlix:

The Studio Ghibli collection, Ugly Delicious, Somebody Feed Phil, Midnight Diner (Tokyo Stories), Miles Davis (Rebirth of the Cool), The Ballad of Buster Scruggs, Dark Tourist...

I recommend this show to anyone who'll listen - Babylon Berlin. It's an excellent period piece/crime drama set in Berlin in the 1920's and 30's, with all of the social and political unrest you'd expect. Season 3 just dropped on Netflix, it's in German but there's an English dub (which is terrible, subtitles are much better IMO).

I recently watched both seasons of After Life on Netflix... brilliant.

Have been watching the first season of What We Do in the Shadows, downloaded on Foxtel... not as good as the film, but still very enjoyable.

Currently watching Ken Burns' Country Music on DVD and Twin Peaks Seasons 1 & 2 on Blu-ray disc.

Recently finished watching the His Dark Materials Season 1 on Blu-ray disc... very very good; much better than the movie version of the Golden Compass.

Watched The Lighthouse and The Peanut Butter Falcon, which are both brilliant films!

The Last Dance - after episode 2 it's pretty clear what Michael Jordan thinks about tanking.

You want a laugh? Trailer Park Boys is my go to series on Netflix in these dire times. Saw it years ago and pi**ed myself laughing. Now rediscovered it and now up to watching season 12 .

Also highly recommended is The Young Offenders on Netflix. Irish lads on a mad mission.

I reckon I binged Trailer Park Boys up until around 2016 I think it's time to get onto it again. 

I recently watched Space Force on Netflix, that was a good laugh.
