Fabulous film

25 Replies

I know this is not particularly RLS related but I have just watched a film on SKY called EDIE. OH MY WORD what a fabulous film! Absolutely awesome, please watch it, it shows how age should never limit what you can do. My hubby and I love Scotland and if you like hiking, love mountains, respect the elderly, then this is the film for you, honestly watch it.

🤪🤩

Was it called Edie, or Edie oh my word?

Please clarify.

EDIE, it’s about a woman who wants to climb mount Suillivan in Scotland after husband dies. It’s a great film, I was so moved by it.

in reply to

EDIE, played by Sheila Hancock ( one of the greatest British Actors we have), is once again inspirational in this film. There is so much trash and filth on the tv and big screen lately it was a pleasure to watch a truly heart moving film. We don’t need filth and foul language, we need culture, respect, and honesty.

If you like that film, then, if you've not already seen it, you might like "The bucket list", Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson.

I tried going to bed about an hour ago, and gave up.

I’m going along to the 24 hour M&S in a minute for a cappuccino and an almond croissant.

The bucket list is a good film.

The term bucket list is now quite common.

Any bets it will be in the dictionary soon. If it isn’t already.

If “gobsmacked” is deemed acceptable, anything’s possible.

I hope the cappucino is decaff!

If you think gobsmacked is too slang for a dictionary look up the word "grok".

in reply to

I can’t grok how that made it into the dictionary.

Still it could come in useful in a poem.

The caffeine thing?

Catch22.

in reply to

PS bucket list IS in the dictionary.

What else should I be doing at 5 am except looking up words in a dictionary!

No 24 hour M&S near mel

in reply to

Is it really.

Good grief.

Did you see Confused 1990’s post about an hour ago.

I think you’re the best one to help him.

in reply to

Thanks for your probably misplaced trust in me. I replied to confused1990

in reply to

Oh okay. Sorry

in reply to

Yep, seen that one, and you are right, it’s a great film. Think I may watch it again now you’ve reminded me of it, cheers!

Well it’s life related and I haven’t given up on that at all so I actually appreciate you taking the time to inform me of this movie and I will make a point of watching it so thank you very much!

There is no mount Sullivan in Scotland, but it must be Mount Suilven ( Gaelic name) looks awesome here

You are quite correct, please forgive my spelling of the Mount in question. Yes it’s a beautiful area I have been fortunate to pass through a few times. My husband has hiked this area too. Which is why we chose to watch this film.

The character EDIE (name of the film too) wants to climb this mountain after her husband dies. It’s a lovely film, with great acting and the best views.

Sheila Hancock (EDIE) did actually climb the mountain for real and that really inspired me.

Never heard of it before, so thanks for raising awareness, it looks a steep climb, did she need climbing gear? I couldn’t manage half of Pendle Hill a few weeks ago and that’s a walking climb and just under 2000 feet!

Maybe I should try that now I’ve got my potassium full legs back!! Lol

in reply to Oldcolner

Hubby said its tougher than Pendle Hill, but no climbing gear required. A fit, confident, regular hiker would do it in about 7 to 8 hours he reckons. It's a tough hike but it's not a Munro and if Sheila Hancock could do it at her age (with company) then although a challenge, with a bit of company its very do-able.

Is that Edie the eagle you are talking about?

in reply to Hoochybaby

No, it's a film called "Edie".
