Go in then, give me your best one to save me an hour of searching

A few provisions though:

- No Horror films

- No stoner/stupid comedies

- A good story with some humour in it

Think In Bruges, Seven Psychopaths, Snatch, Burn After Reading, JoJo Rabbit. Those kinds of films.

What streaming services do you have available? Or is that not a problem if you know what I mean.

It is. No humour though.

For Ritchie with a bit of comedy you could always watch his King Arthur flick. That's quite good as long as uou ignore the terrible Beckham cameo.

Ahhh right, I did hear bad reviews about King Arthur so kind of put me off at the time.

I don't mind action, but would like it to have a bit of humour in it as opposed to to all action fight scenes every 10 mins

Brilliant film. Depp and Pacino at their best and it’s a true story.

Horrors can be great, if done right. All these stupid jump scare ones people love (insidious, conjuring etc) are for kids. Anyone can make them.

Give some more creepy/unsettling one’s a go. I’d recommend It Follows and Hereditary

Carlito’s Way is on Netflix.

If you like old gangster films that is well worth a watch. Plus a lot of GTA Vice City is based on it.

If you can find it, The Straight Story.

True story about an old guy travelling across America to his brothers funeral- on a lawnmower. Doesn't sound thrilling, it's not got any car chases, sex scenes or fights in it, but it's beautifully written and acted.

Alternatively, A Single Man (Colin Firth & Julianne Moore). Again, brilliant script, exquisite set & styling, awesome soundtrack (Well you wouldn't expect anything less from Abel Korzeniowski)- a bit dark and a few twists to keep you hooked.

As you also mentioned In Bruges, Another good Colin Farrell film is Phone Booth- testing out the genre of can you hold almost an entire film in a single location...and doing it pretty well too

Or his In Bruges Co-star, Brendan Gleeson- The Guard. Pretty much hits the 'Good story with humour' request squarely on the head

Two suggestions if I may:

The French Connection (the 1971 original with Gene Hackman as Popeye Doyle)

Then have a watch of the original 1970's version of Rollerball

... You're welcome
