    Which would you suggest I start with? Revenant seems obvious, I haven't seen any of them yet.

    Of the three that I have seen I don't think I would suggest any as "must-see" but I've enjoyed all of them. The Revenant could have been easily trimmed by about 20 minutes, Brooklyn was nice, Bridge Of Spies didn't have much tension because I knew the outcome in advance.

    Faced with a choice I would opt for Spotlight but then I haven't even seen it myself yet.

    Also The Assassin. I don't think it's on any Oscar list but it's about a 9th Century Chinese girl who is kidnapped by an order of nuns, trained to be a killer and then sent out to rid the land of corruption. Based on a true story, apparently.

    In preparation for the new X Files, Chris Carter has selected 20 episodes of the original series as a sort of 'essential prequel'.

    Going to start on them tonight. ;biggrin

    My local independent cinema did a screening of Labryinth as a tribute to David Bowie. I was too young to see it the first time round so talked his nibs into taking me. Was so good to see it in the cinema.

    Next week they are showing Galaxy Quest as a tribute to Alan Rickman. Why they've picked that film and not Die Hard or Truly, Madly, Deeply I don't know!

    The Martian is excellent, but I suspect that Matt Damon is going to lose out to Leonardo DiCaprio for the Best Actor Oscar. I'd really like to see both of them win at some point, but Matt Damon did win Best Screenplay for Good Will Hunting.

    Good choice!

    I'd imagine Truly Madly Deeply would have more limited appeal, and he's not really the star of Die Hard.

    But I'm biased, as Galaxy Quest is one of my faves. ;biggrin

    What about Robin Hood Prince of Thieves? He stole that one from Kevin Costner ;biggrin

    I liked him as Colonel Brandon in Sense and Sensibility as well

    I liked Galaxy Quest. I liked Truly, Madly, Deeply too. I walked into Juliet Stevenson on the pavement after its screening at EIFF while she was talking to a friend. She didn't seem best pleased.

    Couldn't get into any of those.

    Watched about 3 episodes of Vikings but just didn't do anything for me.

    Into the Badlands I only watched 2 episodes. I was expecting a martial arts show, not a wire-driven dance show. The choreography and fight scenes are truly awful. Sorry yeold.

    Black Sails I have watched the first season and it was ok, watchable. I've heard the second season is better but I've not got round to it yet.

    The 100 improved massively in season 2 and I'm really enjoying that.
    Walking Dead is inconsistent in terms of quality but always entertaining.

    Recent/current shows I would recommend:
    The Leftovers, Banshee, Jessica Jones, Peaky Blinders, Sense8, Ray Donovan.
