    The Twilight Zone is currently being shown on Legend at 8 pm on Saturdays and Sundays. They are currently on Season 4,which are 1 hour episodes as opposed to Seasons 1to 3 and 5 ,which are 30 minutes.

    For the Hitchcock fans among us,Sky Arts are showing 2 episodes of his anthology series ALFRED HITCHCOCK PRESENTS on Monday to Friday from 7pm repeated the following morning and episodes of the sequel THE ALFRED HITCHCOCK HOUR on Saturday and Sunday mornings. They are definitely worth watching.

    A favourite for me are igmar Bergman films. In particular persona. But all of them are great.

    But also David lynch his earlier films.

    Kristof kieslowski films.. are also great.

    Silent films. From Murnau, Fritz Lang etc.. so much to see.

    So many great films recommended! Does anybody know where to watch them? It's looking like a rainy one so probably the perfect film weather🌧️

    maybe the lighthouse by robert eggers.. it is a very strange film shot in black and white. not sure it is a film to watch if one is a bit down.

    Thank you @alexroda, the 14 day free trial sounds excellent! I'll be having a look at that when I finish work😊 Is Blue Velvet similar to Mulholland Drive?

    Which two if you don't mind me asking @Schildpad? I don't think i've seen any of his films yet but Midsommar has been on my list for ages!

    Hereditary and midsommar.. I find those two quite disturbing...

    Kieslowski - I watched the trilogy Three Colours (Blue, White, Red) and A Short Film About Killing and a Short Film About Love at the cinema In the 90's. I always enjoyed foreign language films and being short-sighted, the big screen suited me.

    Thanks for the trip down memory lane!

    I must have missed him as I don't recognise the film titles. I rarely watch films at home on my small screen but was hooked on Hunger Games+ on Freeview recently.

    I enjoy Abbott & Costello, Norman Wisdom & the Carry On films.

    He-Man, Thundercats, Transformers, Centurions, Bravestarr for cartoons

    A-Team, Knightrider, Benny Hill for classic TV with The Mentalist, Chuck & Due South for newer (still old) shows

    In the 1970s when I was about 12 I used to like watching Hammer house of Horror, and Wicked Women - both excellent a favourite film at that time was The Yearling, or on the horror side there was The Exorcist, Jaws etc. I loved the Sound of Music too. And I used to rush home from school to watch Shang a Lang with the Bay City Rollers. And of course there was Top of the Pops.

    I'm currently watching a great series on Netflix - The Good Doctor. It's about a man who is very proud to have started working as a surgeon -: the unusual thing about this, is that he's autistic. Very interesting as well as enjoyable.

    I meant to add that I used to like watching Play for Today. My favourite was Edna the Inebriate woman. It was brilliant and if love to see it again. Also another film was Hotter than the Sun about a journalist making public how easily uranium could be smuggled out of a nuclear power plant. Excellent
