Bit like scented gardens for the blind cookie

You can usually sign up for a free trial of 2 weeks for most of the streaming services.
It's worth it, binge what you can and cancel it.
Do that over the various platforms and you'll find 100s of new movies that cost you nothing.

I like almost all types of movies and go through stages of what I'll watch. In terms of sci-fi, I tend to stay away from the big budget stuff as it's usually dumbed down and incorrect in terms of its science, but there are exceptions.

Mostly I enjoy little Indie Scifi flicks....a lot of them do have a horror/killing edge to them, but I always have an eye to horror so that suits.

A favourite niche genre is 'enclosed room(s)' films. Circle which I mentioned before is one. Cube is a classic and it's 2 sequels are ok too. There was one called Tangent which was pretty interesting, on disney+ I think, or Amazon prime. Exam is another one, but less Sci fi. Fermat's room...the list goes on.

Anyway, see how you go.

Huge thanks for going to this trouble, K. Seems our tastes are similar and equally eclectic. Agree re big budget sci fi.

Love a good comedy as well, though the Yank formulaic style is really tired, however I really enjoyed, on Netflix, The Kaminsky Method and Last Vegas.  Also loved Derek (Ricky J) and Paul.

Not SciFi Netflix
Apollo11
The Good Liar
Dead to Me
Grace and Frankie
After Life

Pretty funny that one. During lock down, Mrs G2C got into Schitt's Creek, not half bad.
If you like good British stuff (crime/cop related):
Marcella
Body Guard
Broadchurch (I think this is on SBS on demand)

Watch Sunshine ?. Great movie. Not sure if you can stream it though...
Off topic..., anti-virus software come with VPNs nowdays  ?

The Orville (SBS, lighted hearted Star Trek spin-off.)

Rip-off. Definitely not a spin-off.

Is that the book by Janet Frame CC? I haven't read it.

Actually, it's the title of the first album ever released by Dragon in NZ when they were in their infancy and before they emigrated to OZ and hit it big [member=36]cookie2[/member] .

I don't remember it but it's a good title!

It's abysmal ....

Darkness was an interesting track from that album... sounded like they didn't know whether to be Genesis, Jethro Tull, Hocus Pocus or Boston! Their first two albums were a far cry from their early hits here in Oz, 'This Time' & 'Sunshine.'
