The best film I watched lately was Frantz which was on the BBC iplayer before the virus.

It's a German-French film with subtitles in English about a French soldier who killed a German soldier during WW1 and who after the war goes to find the German soldier's fiancé to seek her forgiveness.

It's not really a war film. It is more of what happens after the war and how the ones left behind suffer after all the victory parades are over and how they have to pick up the pieces of their lives.

Just saw Godfather 2 the other day (again!) it's long as hell but great. Saw it with younger relative, who enjoyed it. 

The Joker is also a great movie in my opinion. 

 

There is an interesting documentary on youtube called Studying for a higher purpose about a scientist called Raphael Mecholoum (I'm pretty sure I spelt that wrong!) about discovering the role of cannabinoids in our body - if you're into biology and science. He also briefly describes how his uncle played a key role in making sure the Jews of Bulgaria avoided the nazi concentration camps. 

I think it's good to watch some older movies because they were a lot more creative and less formulaic than today. If you watch the first Rocky again, and know that Stallone wrote the script, directed it (I'm sure??) and fought hard to star in it, when the studios wanted a known star instead of an unknown, it's even more awesome. There is a lot of social commentary in there too.  

Raging Bull is a classic!

Recent films like the Irishman is good too (another long one!)

I loved Logan too, the last one about Wolverine.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
