I don't think this movie has been mentioned here yet.
We watched "The Lost Honour of Christopher Jefferies" and it was excellent. It is a British movie (based on a true story) about a retired schoolteacher who becomes a murder suspect and gets hounded by the media due to his odd mannerisms.
Highly recommended.

I have a recommendation! But it is only for those who can appreciate a fantastically ridiculous spoof of every shoot-em-up cop movie ever. We laughed like idiots watching it. Ready? It is Kung Fury. Thank me later.

Wait...but not MINE? I sense movie snobbery at play here, Alan.
Go watch the Kung Fu movie...it is only 30 minutes!

I'll always take a recommendation from Don, since I know he has the same (bad?) taste in movies that I do. And if you like it too that's even better. I'll check it out. Thanks.

Streamable series: "The Heavy Water War", plenty of drama and suspense about the Norwegian Underground and Germany's attempt to build a bomb in the late days of WW2.

I added that a few days ago but haven't started watching it so I'm pleased to hear that it is good.

We've liked Ripper Street. Set in a post Jack-the-Ripper London follows London detectives as they go after bad guys.
Spoiler: bad guys are caught.

I am watching Quirke, a three part miniseries based on the novels of John Banville. A dark thriller whose eponymous main character (Gabriel Byrne) is an alcoholic pathologist in repressed 1950s Dublin. Well acted, lots of gloomy atmosphere. I'm enjoying this, and am disappointed that there are only three 90 minute episodes, but it might not be of interest to a North American audience.

30 minutes of distilled awesomeness.
I feel like an insider, since I saw it last smmer on YouTube. One of the American collaborators advertised it on Facebook to his followers.
Surprisingly, DW and many of my friends didn't appreciate it. Good to know there are others with exquisite taste.
