Title: Ipad Films for flights and holiday
Post by: garrardrj on September 03, 2014, 01:45:52 pm
Looking for recommendations for films that are funny and suitable for me and the wife

Rentals are preferred so i don't clog up the ipad !

Have got Wolf of wall Street and Captain America for the plane .

Having not had rentals before what happens when they have been watched over the 48hr period or go over 30 days ? Do they just disappear ?

A bit specific or in this case non-specific. I mean if you and your wife are the type of folks who think nothing of dropping the car keys in a bowl already full of car keys... well, lets just say there will be many, many films suitable for you and your wife!  :laugh:

2 good Choices picked already.
Philomena has a good story and Two good performances From the Central characters.
Robert Redford All is Lost also worth a watch.

Watched a few like that where the film is pretty good until it gets to the ending. Warrior is another one, as is Source Code.

I enjoyed Paul. Not one I had ever considered but caught it on TV a few weeks ago and thought it was pretty good. Easy to watch and some good laughs. Solid 7/10.

Ditto. Didn't like Shaun Of The Dead, Hot Fuzz etc, so wasn't too hopeful, but it was pretty good and a lot funnier than those other put together. TPBTP is good, too, not what you expect from the summary and trailer, as there's a good twist in the middle. More recently I enjoyed The Equalizer and recently watched Captain Phillips which was bloody excellent.

If you have a Google Play account, too, they've got a movie sale on at the moment. It's always worth having an account anyway, as films can often be cheaper on there compared to iTunes.

Bit left field but have you seen Long way down and Lond way round with Ewan McGregoe and Charlie Boreman. My wife and I recently watched them again on Netflix and really enjoyed them.

Another Holiday approaches, need some more reccomendations for the flight x2 and a couple for the holiday . Really enjoying them on the ipad. They need to be suitable for male and female viewing.

Theory of everything, if you are interested in Stephen Hawkings. Excellent film.

The Martian - also a very good film.

Bad neighbours - good comedy, depending on your comedic preferences.

White house down, antman.
