I believe films as in the cinema is an art form, but please shoot me down if agreeing on that and disagreeing that my post should be in here.
My wife went to to the cinema yesterday with a couple we have known over 50 years. Skied with them, gastronomic tours in France with them, Chichester theatre with them next week, birdwatching trips with them - on it goes. They are our age, no kids, comfortably off, not like us paupers, quite intellectual, not like us nerds. They live by what the Telegraph says, we don't get it.
Three very different people all of them returned with a similar perplexed view. OK, but not one they'd recommend.
I didn't fancy, not liking musicals, the much hyped and highly rated film they went to see – I'm already in La La Land. Not enough dancing, not much jazz and little plot – Great!
I've never see any of the Potter, Star Wars franchises – partly because of the hype round them but didn't fancy those either.
Maybe the critics who rated it so well, should be knocking on the door to join me. Maybe I should offer my thoughts to the Telegraph etc

Not sure where I fall but when it comes to TV I would love a package that includes art, history, geography, music (serious type - not pop etc although I do like musicals ) and doesn't include films, sport, dramas, game shows, and those awful competitiony type programmes like Strictly. But none available so it's Sky's loss !!!
