Millars Crossing by the Coen brothers would be ideal for you. Judging by your likes. Might need a couple of watches to grasp every nuance though.

Enjoy

Ah no, we all knew him from The Riordans back in the '70s. He as Pat Barry had an adulterous affair with Maggie Riordan while working as a farmhand and her poor husband beyond in deepest darkest Africa feeding the little black babies. Oh the clergy weren't happy about that.

Great list! Off to Rome for a the rugby in a few weeks. Will be doing my best Gregory Peck impression as well.

I wanted to love The Ballad of Buster Scruggs, but wasn’t that taken with it on first viewing. Perhaps it deserves another view.

I can imagine Buster being a little bit niche perhaps. I loved it and have watched it a few times but I have known some weirdos who didn't like it.

Both great films. In Brugge would take it for me. One of my favourites.

If you haven’t watched Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri give that a go. Same director as In Brugge, and a fantastic watch. Won best actress and best supporting actor from memory. Sam Rockwell is amazing in it.

Might seem expensive but you will rewatch them all over time as they are excellent.

If you don't have 4K, Bluray version is half this price, as long as you don't buy in Golden Discs, where it's €150!! for the 4K and €70 for the BD.

Also a great test of picture/sound quality of your setup, if you're into home cinema
