Guys, by this stage I've suggested any things I knew about, and downloaded or streamed some good tv shows and we have about.
But it strikes me that most of the stuff here are 'guys only' because few women will dig in and enjoy some of the highly acclaimed films here, 'Das Boot' for instance. Is there a gender imbalance among reviewers? Might I ask for what to watch with ladies who wish all in the movie to keep their clothes on, and who don't want to hear $%€#£ẞ&! language?
Not so apologetically at this stage on the hill, it's system-wide! Das Boot is from the "top movies in the World lists..." unimaginable tracks of time we can only make up tho if you sell makeup you'll make a killing?

Vera we watch - it's on tv here. About a third of that list is watched or queued. We're also streaming some - Vienna Blood, for instance. I just went through back as far as post #900 or so and found a large amount of 'guys only' movies.
Everybody spoke very highly of 'das boot' for instance; I streamed some of it. It's in German and (in ww2) German U-boat crews and Allied shipping got off on killing each other, which is insane until you cloak it in wartime logic. Then it's sad. Guys go for that, but not the fairer sex.

Maybe everyone likes their own form of drama, making my argument mute? It'ss call drama! Why like it??? Humans...

Funny Games is a 1997 Austrian psychological thriller film written and directed by Michael Haneke, and starring Susanne Lothar, Ulrich Mühe, and Arno Frisch. The plot involves two young men who hold a family hostage and torture them with sadistic games in their vacation home. The film was entered into the 1997 Cannes Film Festival.[3] A shot-for-shot remake, filmed and set in the United States, was released in 2007, also directed by Haneke, this time with an English-speaking cast and a mostly American crew.

The best part of 20G grabbed from various sources now from that list. For once, imdb had a few useful things - a list of UK stuff, and frank user reviews: On "Catherine the Great"

You wouldn't happen to have a url for that teckk, would you?
And I didn't mean to unintentionally defame my wife. She just doesn't like watching others take clothes off. We're a normal pair - and I have the kids and the bills to prove it!
Some others out of that imdb list were Silent Witness, & Scott & Bailey. I think All Creatures Great And Small was on previous lists.

Half an hour of adddams family is forgivable.
Green acres? I first saw that at about age 7. I was beginning to figure things out. There was this weird show with people delivering awful punch lines, then pausing for 15 seconds while they played poorly canned laughter, and I remember thinking "This must be what the Americans call comedy. Boy is it lame." I had to watch it (Irish tv was useless). Zsa Zsa Gabor was going through rehab, withdrawal, divorce or whatever actresses do; but I remember Haney 'Genuine Paris Perfume - $5 a barrel' and the awful signature tune. But the words rhymed, which impressed me. How could they rhyme the words in a tune that bad?
I really can't stand Helen Mirren. Not one of my favorites.

What, Catherine the Great 2019?
Yes I can scrape that. I see it right here in front of me. I have a search engine of sorts, that I wrote a while back. It searches multiple cloud servers for <search stings>, that are known to host videos, and returns results. But...
I don't know if LQ has mirrors in different parts of the world, and it takes a few hours for the mirrors to update. I have posted things on LQ before, and others have said they just read the post, and it was 8-10 hours after I posted it.
So I don't think that a BBS is suitable for time sensitive virtual hls segment playlists, that get created, which have a time hash, and expire after a set time. And that is how much of the content deliver works in html5.
Waste of time to clutter up the forum with them. I know how to scrape them, but you would have to jump on them within the hour. You have also said that Ireland blocks things.
No, not What, Catherine the Great 2019. That's the Helen Mirren one, isn't it? That's available, and crap.
I'm afraid I gave you a bigger challenge:

That one "Ekaterina: The Rise of Catherine the Great" then apparently on Amazon prime. It's a Russian one, presumably with an English version if it's being hawked to Amazon.
This thread has gone awful quiet … is nobody watching stuff anymore?
I watched "The Grand Hotel Budapest" from 2014 recently. It was set in the 1930s, an interesting time in Europe. It was an amusing film, where everybody took themselves 120% seriously, without the one-liners typical of standup comedy. Rather, people's lives were plotted through ridiculous and amusing situations, and that was the comedy. It does occasionally use that dirty word that rhymes with duck, but it doesn't fall foul of my internal censor.
I briefly looked up the history of Hungary. It seems they were luckless in Ww1 & WW2, joining the losing side each time and have ceded land to all their neighbours. So some of my Hungarian speaking friends actually find their family home is in Austria. They profited briefly getting land as Hitler expanded but lost it back with interest after WW2. But more of their Jews escaped, because Hitler didn't occupy his Allies, just told them what to do; and they didn't exterminate their Jews.
One I have stored to watch is "How to train your drgagon" from 2010. It's animated (a cartoon) but excellent animation. It's getting 10/10 in user reviews on imdb.com. There's also "How to train your dragon 2" (from 2014) and "How to train your dragon: The hidden world" from 2019 if you want to binge on them.
