The seasons thing is something I’ve done for years with both reading and movies, and these days I take great joy in “programming” a season of something for my wife. The element of gauging what she will really respond to is very satisfying

I'm not sure I knew you were married! That's brill though — what have you programmed recently? (My wife and I recently did the Cage trilogy - The Rock/FaceOff/Con Air, it went down very well)

Ha, we got married two years ago in Costa Rica! I was off Twitter by then so you wouldn’t have seen.

And I actually showed her The Rock and Con Air as part of 90’s action season and she absolutely loved them but Face Off would be a bridge too far for her I suspect.

We did some classic westerns - Rio Bravo and The Searchers went down well. We did a Shane Black season. The Nice Guys was the favourite there.

And we did a bunch of noir movies a couple of years back including Double Indemnity, Night of The Hunter and Sunset Boulevard. I really love watching movies I’ve seen lots of times with her, her reactions make it a fresh experience
