One I forgot to mention I think, which was absolutely great:

The Great Wall
Set in China of course, based on a legend. I loved it! Lots of action and excitement, weird dinosaur type of creatures but way worse, haha.
Good casting and setting.

Another one I found that was really good"

Brotherhood of the Wolf.

French spoken, so you have to read the subtitles. I don't usually like that but it goes with the movie, set in 18th century France.
The movie is well worth it! Good fighting scenes, waiting to finally see the beast, a bit of romance etc.

Not sure if anyone else is following this thread, I feel it's become a real good guide to finding movies, often even ones I'd never heard of before.

Anywho, I found another one from 2005 with Ewan McGregor & Scarlet Johansen.
Reviews said they didn't think much of it, but when they watched it, holy cow! Great movie!

So I decided to give it a whirl, and I totally agree: Holy cow! Great movie for sure!

A British mini-series (3 episodes) which is a true story of a serial killer in London. The investigation took place from 2002-2004.
It was good!

A nice series, 9 seasons I believe with 4 episodes each:
Vera

British police series, and good ole British quality too! Set in Northumbria.
Not a young sexy police officer, but an elderly lady, which makes for a nice change. Great acting, good stories so far.
I only found it on one streaming site: gomovies.tube

Harry Brown - with Michael Caine (in his 70s!!)

The first time ever I put on a movie with Michael Caine. I normally switch it off as soon as I see him, haha.
But it's a GOOD movie!!

Into the White is a remarkably good movie! It's based on a true story which takes place during WW2. I'm never keen om WW2 movies, but this is far from your typical one.
Absolutely excellent!!

Sully
On the airplane being in trouble, both engines ruined, and having to land ON the Hudson river.

I'm wondering why I never came across these movies.

The only good action film series that came to mind was the Bourne
Identity series. I like that.

I also read the books, long before they were put into movies, and I loved the books.

I have to think of action/thriller TV series.

Movies are a good addition as well!
And yes, I did like the Bourne movies :)
