Will watch a few of those.

If anyone hasn't watched Spirited Away I would highly recommend given that a watch.

At the risk of outing myself as an atrocious pleb, I don't think I've heard of a single one of those films.

Fantastic, Nausicaa is a classic piece of anime history.

I've watched a few of them but IMO Spirited Away is their most mainstream film. I would highly recommend given it a go and if you like the style try some of the others.

One of the all time animated greats in my view.

Ghibli stuff is fantastic.

Porco Rosso is brilliant, as is plenty of the others. There are a couple there I've never watched so looking forward to that .

Sex Education Season 2, brilliant.

The "American way of life in Britain" thing annoys me but I can get past that mainly because the rest of it's brilliant. Plus the actress that plays Maeve was born in Lemans so she's clearly oscars material.

Incredibly frustrating final scene though.

'When Marnie Was There' is exquisitely beautiful and can get very dusty at times.

'Ponyo' is great for younger children.

I've never managed to get either of my children sit through 'Spirited Away' sadly, despite several attempts.

I've got 1 or 2 episodes left of this. Very enjoyable, there are quite a number of between-the-lines issues that are prevalent at that stage of life, but I feel it gets these messages across without being too preachy about it. I will say though....how can there be so many gays in just 1 school

RE Maeve....am I the only one who finds her really rather pretty? I'm only 30, not 50....that makes it OK, right?

She's 24. I checked. It's ok.

Me neither and I'm a huge cinema lover.

The Aaron Hernandez documentary. That is one strange and cold guy who seemingly had it all.

Everything apart from the brain area required to be an empathetic human being.

Watched the American factory, the thing that stuck me, not having worked for a mega conglomerate, how many corporate suck ups there were, amazing.

I have to agree, it was almost comical, like a sitcom, but real!

The IT Crowd binged & finished last night.

Excellent!!! One or two eps a bit meh but overall very very funny, a few had me crying:

The wheel chair/barman ep was fantastic, and Peter File. Douglas at the funeral, coffee over the tramp!!

Spirited Away regularly appears in countdowns of greatest movies.

For example it is no 15 on Empire's list of greatest movies of the 21st century so far.

Watched first episode of Sex Education last night. It’s a bit odd that it is a British series apparently set in an American high school in Seattle.

Jen (Katherine Parkinson) does something too me.

Embarrassingly, another pleb here.

The episode at the theatre really is hilarious. Funny enough, when I joined Netflix years back, I binged IT Crowd also and know what you mean regarding a coupld of eps here and there are a bit meh.
