Gettin' Square is about starting over, keeping clean and going straight. Barry Wirth is fresh out of prison and determined to stay on the straight and narrow. But like his mate Johnny 'Spit' Spiteri and reformed gangster turned restaurateur Dabba, he finds out the hard way that there are old scores and a few new ones that'll make getting square a lot harder than he thought.

    I guess it depends on what you like. There's plenty I like and though of a few. Picked a few that wouldn't be on most people's list already. No 1 I'd recommend for those who like comedy - Mortadelo & Filmon if you like comedy you'd probably greatly enjoy if you don't mind subs or understand Spanish.

    Funny Farm (1988)

    Kuffs (1992)

    Grosse Pointe Blank (1997)

    Asterix live action films (1999 - 2012) [1]

    Ice planet (2001)

    Mortadelo & Filemon: The Big Adventure (2003) (Spanish, cartoonish humour, I found very funny)

    Gettin' Square (2003)

    Suspect Zero (2004)

    Kiss Kiss Bang Bang.(2005)

    Slipstream (2005) [2] (mind the write up there of the plot is daft)

    Dark Sense (2018)
