Highly recommend Wrath on Amazon. Attempt by a couple to break the self supported fastest known time for the 230 mile cape wrath trail in Scotland. If you are interested in ultra running at all then The Barkley Marathons is well worth a watch also

@john-folan someone got called a bitch but he decided to pull out before he ended up having a scrap.

Felt bad for the guy but he was total cannon fodder. Gave off all the wrong signs.

Genius.

@matthew-biggins Watched that a while back and really enjoyed it, enjoyed how they thought they would cope with it compared to how they actually coped

Did anyone get made a bitch?

@matt-wood no just meant since Snatch, Lock Stock is the original classic for me, Snatch is of similar quality but more of the same so I would rank it just lower but that's just me.

Finished watching 60 Days In on Netflix last week. Not sure if anyone’s seen it but the basic premise is that volunteers are put into jail with real inmates and are tasked with essentially spying on the inmates for the Sherrifs etc.

In reality it’s more like a big brother type programme where it centres around how the volunteers actually cope with the whole situation rather than any kind of investigative work.

It’s actually quite an interesting concept to see how people deal with it. Certainly loads different to any other prison doc I’ve seen before. Well worth a watch.

Watched 'Gentlemen' on Amazon last night with the mrs.

Standard Guy Ritchie film (always good) but very entertaining. Worth a watch if anyone has access to Prime.

best Ritchie film I have seen since Snatch, thanks for the recommendation

Do you put Snatch above Lock Stock...?

I really struggle to choose a fav out of those two. Both good. Gentlemen was right up there with them too.

Hi All
If you like your star trek, start trek discovery season 3 begins in October - season 1 and 2 are worth a watch, continuing the space theme - just watched AWAY which is about space mission to Mars, it's ok - delves quite deeply into the stresses and strains of such a long space trip.

Rewatching Battlestar Galactica. Not seen anything as good in that genre since

Being a fan of the original series I was really worried about the remake. Didnt need to be though. They pulled it off perfectly, cracking series.

It’s so good. Nothing else like it

@matt-wood I loved this! Hugh Grant was brilliant I thought

He was having so much fun.

Yea I think he was just allowed to let lose with his character and he seemed to really enjoy being able to do that. Always like Colin Farrel too
