The best part is when Mulder and Scully are tracking monsters and weird people. The most annoying is that complicated story of UFO and USA plot and miraculous children etc.

Downton Abbey is agreeable to watch, it is a sort of Jane Austen in 1910s but Matthew is not Darcy, Mary is more a female Darcy.

I am just watching:
Titanic sinks in REAL TIME - 2 HOURS 40 MINUTES

This is our full-length animation of the Titanic sinking, beginning with the iceberg collision and ending with its disappearance. The point of collision is at 1:06 in the video.

This is a complete animation; not a short animation that was slowed down to match real time. This is also highly accurate, though we have already documented improvements we plan to make for the final game.

The animation includes text frequently appearing with what is happening on board the ship. This also includes visuals of various interior rooms flooding, lifeboats launching, rockets firing, and the Californian on the horizon.

This animation is, however, a bit rough around the edges. Some details, like guy wires and boat falls, are not rendered, and a few other things might appear glitchy, incomplete, or animations a little bumpy. In order to release this video in time for the 2016 anniversary (April 14/15), we needed to hastily render this. It's not easy working with a nearly 3 hour video file! Also, this video may only be in 360p in the hours immediately after upload. Please give Youtube time po process it. Hopefully it'll be available up to 720p by the night of the 14th.

The animation was created in Unreal Engine 4. The exterior model used is not our final model, but an older model created by one of our team members.

A fantastic film - "Mediterraneo" (1991)!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mediterraneo

A group of Italian soldiers get stuck on a Greek island during WWII. Slowly, they forget the war and sink into the everyday life of the Greek inhabitants.

If you´re going to watch only one film this year - see this one!

All the best,
Benny

Gran Canyon (1991) Kevin Kline, Steve Martin, Danny Glover etc. - very underrated:

Tried to watch Downton Abbey but had to stop when reached the 3rd season when I was so bored that I watched each 15 mn by 15. If we consider the story out of decor it is only a common soap opera.

Now I just start to watch The Fall : immediately in the 1st episode it is incredibly good. Gillian Anderson who was so poor in the last x-files is really great. And the camera is very poetic and aesthetic, while diving in serial killer story.

So a good series.

Maybe I´m a bit of an old school romantic - I saw "Ladies in Lavender" (2004) the other day. With Charles Dance, Judi Dench, Maggie Smith among others. Also directed by Charles Dance.

Great movie! But I´m partial, I really like that kind of English films. It reminds me a little of "Enchanted April" (1992), it has the same atmosphere (kind of!).

Glad you enjoyed the film as much as I did

If you find any more as good please let us know

Normally Turkish films have sad endings:

Boy meets girl
Falls in love
Her family does not approve
One or both of them is killed

[Benny]

So true - that seems to be the formula! And yet, it works every time, at least for me! I´ll keep you posted if I encounter any gems.
