Discovering new things through recommendations can be lovely -- we all have books, poems, songs, films, to programmes, hobbies, food etc that we love -- so make a recommendation to the poster above something you think they may like to discover, something that you like/enjoy.

I'm hoping to get some new ideas.

I though this was more of a "name something you like and have other people recommend similar to you" thread, which is an amazing idea.

I'm going to recommend Tucker and Dale vs Evil! It's perfect satire and if you enjoy horror you'll recognise several of the elements that are mocked.

Yes i have that on dvd. Watched it for Halloween a couple of years back. Good film.

I would recommend The Bureau, a French spy show.

Also Bosch.

I want to see both of these

Love Ben Wheatley but 'Free fire' looks totally different to his other stuff. Interested to see what he does with a more mainstream type of film.

Recommending difficult without knowing what you're into.

TV - well anything off Netflix or Amazon Prime. Black Sails, Vikings, Hand of God, Sneaky Pete, Man in the High Castle, Bloodline, any of the Marvel Netflix shows, all if Star Trek on Netflix. If you have Sky then Game of Thrones or Westworld

Films - Lord if the Rings, any of the Marvel films, the Die Hard's, too many to list

Books - too many to list

There and to the left a bit

TV - Currently has to be Line Of Duty - best crime drama ever!!

Film - Hacksaw Ridge - best film I've seen in a very long time

Book - Anything by Peter James fantastic writer of crime fiction and more

Song - The Liberty Of Norton Folgate by Madness - 9 mins 42 secs that show the band are so much more than just a good time party band from the 80s, a positive trip through a part of the East End of London unknown to many

Is the book good. I'd imagine that it's quite a difficult book to read as it would be so emotional x

There's a really good TV series based on a series of books, you probably haven't heard of it but it's called game of thrones. You should definitely check it out.

TV show: Black Mirror, Parks and Rec, Murder One (amazing)

Film:

Comedy - Dinner for Schmucks, Forgetting Sarah Marshall

Horror - Don't Breathe (More of a thriller) The Collector & The Collection
