Fisherman's Friend's - What a good movie - my new favorite of the new year.

Though it was posted about a couple of months ago https://www.democraticunderground.com/114310541 after seeing it last night I thought to throw in a refresher. This is such a nice, feel good sort of movie. With a lot of emphasis on community, in some ways it reminds me of "Local Hero" some 20-30 years ago. It might be a little formulaic but the variables are different enough to make it stand on it's own. It's funny, serious and romancy, has some really good music and a great way to spend a couple of hours. I caught myself smiling a bunch of times because it's so darn uplifting.

If you can't decide what to watch, choose this one. Did I say highly recommended? On NetFlix

I thought it was an old Errol Flynn pirate movie or something. When I came out, I sat down watched the last half then watched the whole thing again. Gosh, I can't say enough good things about it.
