Channel 81. "Rooms" a series of inter-linked half hour dramas from the seventies. Two a day, screened very early in the morning so I recorded them.
Just finished watching this Korean zombi movie Train to Busan. It's in Korean, but if you can find the English dubbed version - That would be fantastic! Otherwise you'll just be reading subtitles all the time, and in so doing miss out on half the movie...
In today's world, who actually needs a TV anyway? I too am watching everything on my PC monitor, or the smartphone screen, (after downloading whatever I want from the internet). All the major news channels too now are streaming live on YouTube anyway.
AA Nightowl, I enjoy Doug Batchelor. Presently reading "Walden" Henry David Thoreau. I love British series. My favorite is "Last of the Summer Wine." which I watch over and over because it's like visiting friends. We have Amazon Prime which offers decent movies and my murder mysteries. The older British series were so much better than our's here in the USA. Of course with gardening getting underway, there will be less time for TV., which on my computer.
When this all started I watched "the last man on earth", but I've lost interest, the first 2 seasons are good. it's funny, and it's fitting ( virus kills 99.999%, and this is what happens after that. )
Our local PBS station is working with the school districts here and broadcasting some very interesting programs that seem to follow the local curriculum. Programs like they were created to broadcast few years ago before it became the home for every cooking program every filmed and pretty much nothing else.
I enjoy stretching out away from my local mentality when watching the tiny screen. Productions like "The Wandering Earth" from China and the recent oscar winning "Parasite" are asian films. Additionally,a number of WWII Tank movies from Russia are some of the better stories I have seen.
I might not get much time for gardening! DGD will require 24/7 care for awhile, and that does not include mowing the grass (it already looks like a jungle out there with all the rain we have had) and I HOPE I can get some veggies planted? We will see how it works out once we get her home.
Of course, no movie playlist can be complete without these evergreen classic war movies! I had an uncle, (husband of my mother's elder sister) who fought in World War 2 when he was young. So he had lots of stories to share from the Burma front - It now makes for some of the fondest memories from my early childhood during the mid 80s. Listening to his personal war stories, and watching some of these movies with him.
Unorthodox. Set of 4 episodes about a 19 year old Hasidic woman who flees her home & husband in NYC & goes to Berlin where she can establish citizenship. The very conservative Orthodox life is well depicted. A lot of the dialogue is in Yiddish with subtitles.
And today I think I will watch any of the James Bond movies. But the other choice is any one of the Pink Panther movies. Can't quite decide which to pick... One is what I wanted to be like in childhood, (when I would grow up). The other is what I ended up becoming after growing up.
"Love and Mercy." BioPic of Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys. Should be on BBC i>Player The tune, which they used for the title of the film. His voice may not be as good as it once was, but he can still write 'em.
