"Four Good Days".

Great movie about a heroin addicted daughter who turns up at her mother's house seeking help to get clean.

True to life story.

Another excellent movie based in Nazi Frankfurt in 1941.

About a Polish Jew working as a waiter in a fancy hotel but trying not to reveal his true identity.

"The Red Sea Diving Resort"

In the early 1980s, international agents and brave Ethiopians use a deserted retreat in Sudan as a front to smuggle thousands of refugees to Israel.

Brilliant movie based on true facts.

"Geronimo - An American Legend"

Superb movie about the last days of the Indian legend and how he and his Apache people were treated and lied to by the American government.

Makes my blood boil when I see and read how the wonderful American Indians were systematically wiped out.

The Lone Ranger and Tonto were riding through a canyon when they looked up and saw tribes of Cherokee, Apache and Sioux lined along the cliffs above them. The Lone Ranger turned to Tonto and said –"Looks like we are in a big heap of trouble Tonto" and Tonto says _"What do you mean 'WE' Kemosabe?

"The Revenant".

Hadn't seen this before.

Excellent movie. 

Leonardo Di Caprio is brilliant in the movie.

Hi Gerry.

I remember when the Revenant came out and got great reviews.

Never saw it till the other night.

You're dead right. Avoid the TV whilst away. Focus on enjoying yourselves.

We very seldom turn on the TV when we're on holiday.

So enjoy the rest of your trip.

Cheers Pat, we are having a ball - dunno if I said there are 6 of us (3 couples, similar in age), very good friends, who usually travel together. We do lots as a group but we also have plenty of time to ourselves as individual couples or by ourselves, so no pressures. Works very well. At the moment 4 are in town, Annetteis down by the pool, I am elsewhere avoiding the sun, catching up on friends and correspondence like this. We'll meet up in a while for lunch/couple of beers, then break for couple of hours maybe back in the room, them come together again around  7 for dinner and rest of the evening with the group... So we're not in one anothers' ears the whole time... WinkSmile

Gerry

That sounds like the perfect arrangement.

Nice one when close friends travel together and understand each other whilst away.

Sean

This is from Google.

Though it may seem unlikely, this gripping thriller is indeed based on a true story. Having said that, the creators have also taken some creative liberties to appeal to a larger audience. The Revenant is based on the highly recognised figure in American history, Hugh Glass.

I dont believe its a true story Sean - maybe the general storyline or parts of it are based vaguely on a true story or stories, but no, not the stuff in that film...

"A Day And A Half".

Set in Sweden.

Inspired by true events about a tragic hostage situation where a man kidnaps his estranged wife and daugher after losing custody of her.

Excellent and tense movie.
