USUALLY AT THIS time on Thursday evenings we bring you Trailer Watch, which rounds up three trailers for movies due out at the weekend.
But none of us will be going to the cinema until Saturday or Sunday, so instead we thought we’d bring you eight things to watch online while Storm Emma rages outside.
And to give things a theme, we’ve gone for films and TV series set in snowy climes. Might as well go all in!
Have any tips? Share them in the comments.
Fargo (the film)
This Coen Brothers classic is just begging to be watched on nights like this. It stars Frances McDormand as a heavily pregnant police officer in a snowy rural Minnesota town who has to investigate an increasingly bizarre crime.
Watch on: Stream on Netflix
Fargo (the TV series)
Inspired by the film, this series has three seasons so far, each one set near the town of Fargo but starring different characters.

Cool Runnings
Relive the recent Winter Olympics with this classic comedy that’s based on the true story about a Jamaican bobsled team.

The Shining
Want to scare yourself witless? Then watch this classic about a family that take over the remote Overlook Hotel in the depths of winter. Heeeeere’s Johnny!

While You Were Sleeping
Go on, indulge in a lovely romantic winter comedy starring Bill Pulman and Sandra Bullock. Sandra plays a woman who falls for a handsome guy… only for him to end up in a coma.

The Ice Storm
This Ang Lee film is about an American family trying to deal with the changes in society in the 1970s. It’s a little bit saucy if you’re into that kind of thing.

Edge of Winter
This indie thriller is about a wayward dad trying to improve his relationship with his sons. The slight hitch is he’s not quite the World’s Best Father.

Bit of useless post leaving out the normal tv channels
@Shuggie Olé: Some people are never happy and just post to moan….
@Shuggie Olé: I think you missed out on the theme of the artical
@Shuggie Olé: cos it’s an ad, not an article
@your bustin: has all the makings of an article to me
@Shuggie Olé: What is ‘normal tv channels’? :)
“Stuck indoors” ? Its Thursday! Night! Beginning of March! What was everyone doing last Thursday night? Dancing at the crossroads eating hang sandwiches?
@The Eagle: What about people with no tv? Should they review the radio for them? You can’t please or include all the people all the time.
@Mark Edwards: And what about the lads with no radio!
Cabin fever has got hold of ye lads. Now tidy yere toys and off to bed with ye. Dont forget to brush the teeth now boys.
@Mark Edwards: listening to old episodes of the Kennedys of Kilross and Dinjoe with Take the Floor
I’d advise some people on here to read a book or watch an educational documentary.
@Jack Jackson: loads of David attenborough on Netflix. Always worth a watch. Wild China which is also on Netflix is brilliant. On the subject of books I’m reading IT by Stephen king. it’s bloody brilliant. A lot better than any Of The shite he’s wrote in recent years.
Off until Monday. Shite weather. I think tonight is the perfect time to start watching Game of Thrones for the first time!.
@Dj:
Lucky you, great series, you will surprised how good it is, the depth of characterization, the many narratives within the main narrative, the superb casting and acting, the EPIC-NESS of it all.
@David Sinclair: I actually got the boxset off my brother! He’s been pushing it on me for ages. Crime series would be more my thing but I’m actually looking forward to get stuck into it now.
@Dj:
Yeah, crime is my first choice also.
Don’t know if you’ve ever watched The Shield, one of the best ever IMO.
Anyway, enjoy Game of Thrones.
@David Sinclair: Yeah..great show!
@Dj: any crime series recommendations?
@Shala:
Spiral if you haven’t seen it.
@Shala: Mindhunter is excellent. The Fall isn’t bad either.
@Dj: thanks folks. Will check them out
@David Sinclair: your opinion. Why push it on to someone else
@Dj: Said the same thing last night. Had season 1 download on sky box sets nd said to the Mrs if we don’t start this now we never will so saw ep 1 nd 2. Then realised the box set has expired from sky nd can’t continue! They’re half way through season 2 on Sky Atlantic so will set series link on that nd try to find someone with season 1-2 DVD!
@David Sinclair: spiral is superb. If you haven’t see ‘the bridge’ (danish version) I would highly recommend it.
Mind hunters on netflix. Takes 2 episodes to get into it but stick with it. It’s excellent.
Just settling down to watch ‘The Iron Giant’ with my two little ones. Never saw it!
The Outlaw Josey Wales – 9:00 pm ITV4
@Gary Stonebox: Don’t piss down my back and tell me it’s raining.
@Gary Stonebox: I reckon so
@Gary Stonebox: “Worms gotta eat same as buzzards. To hell with them fellers”. Excellent.
The Day after Tomorrow
The Thing (John Carpenters)
How about ‘Alive’…… make sure you have some sliced pan in the house though
Fargo season one is abs brilliant . Masterful performances by Billy Bob Thornton and Martin Freeman .Cinematography is fabulous mixed in with superb black comedy.
And don’t watch 7 seconds it’s shiiiiiiiiiiite
@The Eagle: ok prayer at bedtime is on at midnight and mailbag is on tomorrow evening. Happy?
Stay safe everyone.
Live, die, repeat. Arrival. Agora. The Thing 82 version. Antman. Binge tv series Legion, well made.
So it’s ok to charge Lynn straight away in this banana republic. He’s not a banker or a FF / FG politician!
