Margin Call is well worth a watch.

Collapse of a major finance house in 2008. Some very good performances.

If you like that and have Netflix then The Big Short is worth a watch, the collape of the housing market in the USA.

Not forgetting a rather special cameo from Margot Robbie.

Yes The Big Short is even better IMO

Inside Job, Sony pictures. Takes a closer look at what brought about the 2008 financial meltdown.

Documentary, 2010. Never seemed to get the acclaim it deserved, well worth a watch.

Gave that a watch last night. Very good. Cheers for the heads up!

Superb. I'd like to use the scene where the Jeremy Irons character arrives to take charge in a management training course. He doesn't interrupt to show how busy and important he is, he just listens and ensures he understands before making any decisions.

Love that line he says "Please, speak as you might to a young child, or a golden retriever"

Margin Call, good call.

I thought both were excellent.
However I loved the way Margin call developed, with the undisguised panic
of those playing the numbers, when they realised the whole pack of cards was falling down.
Some really good performances.

Oh and a wonderful Karma is a bh moment.

It's of its time.

I remember coming out of it at the cinema feeling jaded, as a geek chick heavily into cyberpunk, and heavily into SciFi, and having seen the Smirnoff Vodka adverts that invented "bullet time", it all felt so.*meh" at the tr despite my peers stting a core dump over it.

And don't get me started on "batteries" vs "Wetware CPUs in s distributed cloud-based architecture" because people back then couldn't conceive of such a thing. The morons.

However, all that is forgotten now. It is awesome.

Edit: also
Neo is not the one

I notice that Amazon Prime is now available through Sky Q

Godfather of Harlem

Its on one of the channels you pay, but it isn't bad, it is about Bumpy Johnson, with Malcolm X and a few other famous people.

8/10

Not the Sopranos, but good acting, story is pretty face paced, and lots of killings, so is pretty good.

Bosch
The Bureau
Justified

Best of the lot I've come across in that order.

The Rookie is good. 2 seasons thus far and another on the way but you have to pay.

Fargo is good although the 4th season got boring quickly.

The Matrix was the first DVD I ever bought, back in 1999. I remember been mightily impressed by the picture quality, how pin-sharp it looked compared to the VHS quality I'd been used to the previous 20 years.

If I look at a DVD now the picture looks terrible... probably because of the much larger screens now compared to in '99.
