Movie Night 25 – The Films of Idris Elba

***

Movie Night… 25

***

For some, movie night means nothing more than getting a bowl of popcorn and watching the latest release. Others dabble with the double-feature, but that’s often no more than an act of compromise. The serious movie watcher might watch three movies on movie night. Then there are people like me.

Nothing short of four movies or programs will do. Anything less simply isn’t a proper experience. If you’re like me, then try these comedy special suggestions. We think you’ll be pleased.

Tonight’s theme: Movies with Idris Elba

First Movie – Prometheus (2012)

Second Movie – Zootopia (2016) – if animation isn’t your thing, replace with The Dark Tower (2017)

Third Movie – Pacific Rim (2013)

Fourth Movie – Beasts of No Nation (2015)

Bonus – Any of the Thor movies

Super Bonus – Luther (2010-2015), yeah it’s a TV show, but it kicks ass and only has six episodes in the first season,  four in the two following, and two in the last, so each season could be a movie night unto itself. Definitely worth binging on.
