I've been watching "BBC Play of the Month" on YT. I enjoyed all the JB Priestley ones. I knew one of his daughters quite well - Mary Priestley the music therapist. I went to a lot of her group sessions. Referring to her childhood in the Priestley household she said..

"I had to decide at an early age whether to believe what people said or what I observed them doing with my own eyes. I decided to trust my eyes".

Watched "The Killer" on Netflix, really enjoyed it. Nothing new to the genre but a very well made film.

Following on with the David Fincher theme I finally got round to watching "Gone Girl" on Prime. Both my wife and I enjoyed that one too.

Started watching another one on Netflix last night, something called "Heart of Stone". Managed 20 minutes then gave up on it, garbage.

Plus one for Nobody, it's not Finnish in case that was to put you off. You could call it a sleeper movie, it really is that good!

Main character played Saul in Breaking Bad.

I said Sisu is a Finnish film,well worth a watch.

I know!

Anyone who has watched Nobody will understand but those that haven't might misconstrue your synopsis as the other film also being Finnish. That's how I read it...

Hope that clarifies?

I didn't recognise the title but after a search on IMDB.com I realise I have it saved to my favourites. Something to do with Nazi Gold iirc?

I'll definitely be checking it out this weekend. Thanks for the update!

Your story jogged my my dusty memory vault. When a teenager I stayed with my cousin in Tiddington nr Stratford On Avon. I helped him with his paper round.
Remember we went to a nice house & Tim said it was where J.B Priestly lived & that at Xmas the butler would bring him a £20 note on a silver tray.
Considering it was probably 10 times more than his wages you could say that my cousin loved his paper round.
Memories.
