For you, more refined wine drinkers, you may be happy to hear that I've managed to procure a "nice" French - Burgundy - Côte de Beaune (Louis Jadot Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru 2017) and for you, who prefer a red wine, a palate pleasing number from the Tuscany region of Italy (Guado Al Tasso Matarocchio 2016) Suzi, torunn, any takers?

I don't go to the movies now, but I watched an intersting film on TV last night - Trumbo (2015) - "Dalton Trumbo is a screenwriter whose talent places him among the elite of Hollywood. However, his active membership in the Communist Party of the USA draws the contempt of staunchly anti-Soviet entertainment-industry figures such as columnist Hedda Hopper and actor John Wayne... " We know it as 'The McCarthy Era'.

'Brooklyn' - I have seen it a number of times.
I can add 'Pride and Prejudice' with Keira Knightley, Matthew Macfadyen, Brenda Blethyn, Donald Sutherland.
This is the best I can give you.
