With so much craziness in the world right now, I'm always on the lookout for light, fun and enjoyable films that put a smile on your face instead of making you even more depressed... LOL

That being said, a recent one I recommend is Cha Cha Real Smooth, on Apple TV+

My favourite film of last year was Another Round - darkly funny, small in scope but said something fundamental about humanity/society/masculinity...what might be a good follow-up?

I just watched to kill a mockingbird in the theatre (not-so-subtle brag about how cultured I am...) so I'm obviously craving courtroom dramas. I haven't really scratched the surface on this genre so don't feel obliged to delve into the depths of niche films. Thanks xx

Would welcome recos including one of the below themes (sorry I’m being picky):

- Films set in New York (not 50 Days of Summer)

- A romcom set in Europe (Italy/Spain that aren’t Letters to Juliet and Vicky Cristina Barcelona)

- A good old buddy film (think Rush Hour but not Rush Hour)

Cheers,

C x
