I'd highly recommend. Every bit as enjoyable as Deutschland 83</p> <p>Yesterday on Netflix I watched a doc The Miami Showband Massacre. Very interesting, well worth a watch. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19215#post-303693 Sun, 24 Mar 2019 18:43:48 +0000 wee folding bike 303693@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Inside Central Station, Series 1: Episode 1: <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m00032nr" rel="nofollow">http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m00032nr</a> via @bbciplayer</p> <p>Part 4 tonight. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19215#post-303661 Sat, 23 Mar 2019 20:08:55 +0000 Greenroofer 303661@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Just found that the film of LEL 2014 ('London Edinburgh London') and Lee Craigie's 'Divide' are both currently available free on Amazon Prime.</p> <p>I've wanted to see the LEL film for years (I watch the trailer on YouTube every now and again as a kind of motivator) and was unreasonably pleased to see it on Prime. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19215#post-294417 Sun, 28 Oct 2018 19:47:11 +0000 Greenroofer 294417@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>If you have an hour and like a long bike ride:<br /> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OD6sEXyYNFY" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OD6sEXyYNFY</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19215#post-294388 Sat, 27 Oct 2018 21:45:37 +0000 minus six 294388@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@Laidback</p> <p>Deutschland 86<br /> <a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6148324" rel="nofollow">https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6148324</a></p> <p>full series is out there with subs </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19215#post-294376 Sat, 27 Oct 2018 20:43:30 +0000 I were right about that saddle 294376@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Sylvain Chomet's <em>Belleville Rendezvous</em>.

I've previously enjoyed 'The Program' (about Lance), 'Bicycle' (the one with the little girl learning to ride at the end), 'A Murder of Couriers' and 'The Alley Cat'.</p> <p>One I found that I didn't like was 'Breaking LA', it was just too self-consciously hipster cool for me. Watch it and decide for yourself. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19215#post-294019 Tue, 23 Oct 2018 18:02:51 +0000 gembo 294019@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Wonder Boys has been on iplayer recently - Michael Douglas as washed up writer - his best performance? Also has great James Brown impersonator.</p> <p>Good Will Hunting is on the Netflix - Robin Williams Again downplaying himself and winning Oscar. The afflecks being all working class Boston is also quite amusing. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19215#post-294018 Tue, 23 Oct 2018 18:02:28 +0000 LaidBack 294018@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Deutschland 83 gets my vote - was shown on Channel 5 or such like and was quite a hit with me and Mrs LB. </p> <p>Often thought hat some of these 'boxed sets' would be a treat to watch in cinema - but not all at one go. Could it be done now when people can 'binge on entertainment' at home. </p> <p>'Follow the Money' 1 and 2<br /> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lCuEYSMdV8I" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lCuEYSMdV8I</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19215#post-294014 Tue, 23 Oct 2018 14:51:22 +0000 minus six 294014@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Bloodline<br /> <a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3520702" rel="nofollow">https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3520702</a></p> <p>The Terror<br /> <a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2708480" rel="nofollow">https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2708480</a></p> <p>Gomorrah<br /> <a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2049116" rel="nofollow">https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2049116</a></p> <p>Tin Star<br /> <a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4607112" rel="nofollow">https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4607112</a></p> <p>Ozark<br /> <a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5071412" rel="nofollow">https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5071412</a></p> <p>Braindead<br /> <a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4877736" rel="nofollow">https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4877736</a></p> <p>Seach Party<br /> <a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5460226" rel="nofollow">https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5460226</a></p> <p>People of Earth<br /> <a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4695530" rel="nofollow">https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4695530</a></p> <p>Deutschland 83<br /> <a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4445154" rel="nofollow">https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4445154</a></p> <p>Wormwood<br /> <a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7306056" rel="nofollow">https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7306056</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19215#post-294009 Tue, 23 Oct 2018 13:46:30 +0000 unhurt 294009@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Was reminded of one of my favourites yesterday: 1990's Canadian music mockumentary Hard Core Logo.
