It's not a movie, but I've stumbled over a marvelous British series on Netflix called Myths and Monsters.

It explores (mostly so far European--I'm on episode four of six) myths and legends and explores their underlying meaning in historical and psychological terms.

Tatort is a long-running German crime solving TV show with a huge number of full-length (90min) episodes spanning 5 decades.
Just recently I noticed - again - how good most of them are.
Different "sub-series" with different teams of investigators, and a different local setting.

Most people can watch/download at least some of them here. I watched 3 off the top of that list - mostly re-runs I think - two were superb and the third was good (it had a sort of female Columbo).
I just read that they may also be found on Netflix.

I was trying to find English subtitles, but that seems to be more difficult.
This page lists only a few.
A simple web search suggests one or two other options.

The differences in what we watch are as diverse as the wrongs with "the world..."

anyway, I prefer comedies, even: ta-ta-ta-day junior, Billy Madison.

My tolerance for movies these days is about the same as for morons... but, ironically.

I can't think of anything better than "Last of the summer wine" and "Are you being served". That slightly dry British humor is great. Also Coupling.

Good Brit detective/crime type series:
Vera
George gently
Death in Paradise
No Offense
New Tricks
Brokenwood(NZ)
The Loch
MI5(Spooks)
Missing
Shetland
Endeavour
Tunnel
Hidden(Craith)
Bodyguard
Father Brown(Very light)
Informer
Manhunt
Traitors
Underbelly(Aus)
Blood(UK)
Luther
Secret City(Aus)
Victim
Grantchester
London Kills
Vienna Blood
Pine Gap(Aus)
Line of Duty
Innocent

Depends on what you like. I thought that all of those were good-great.

Have watched every episode at least 3 times by now, along with: Home Movies! https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0197159/

Add: By the way the extras for the box set of home movies was hilarious! E.g.: https://youtu.be/cGUG81-S2ok

I had a look. Most of these early ones were 1950s - 1960s. A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum was really funny.
A goog half were unavailable . Thanks, though

Watch last Saturday's launch of the Falcon 9 rocket. Reality is better than any movie.

They sure got rid of the beautiful women detectives in the last 2 seasons though. That was half of the reason why I watched it.
