[MacDara]

death race 2000 (on amazon prime)

wanted to see it for close on 40 years

dialogue was hilariously cheesy, overall disappointing though (very low budget effects, etc)

I saw it on VHS when VHS players still had wired remotes.

The French Dispatch. Visually impressive, wow, amazing etc. As a film, boring and exhausting. Turned it off anger an hour.

the third or 4th watch is the best IMHO

I saw it on late night Channel 4 ca. 1999, during the golden age of Channel 4 showing amazing films at 1am on Friday/Saturday/Sunday nights

The Mercy on Netflix ...fair to middling family viewing

Nowhere on Netflix ... Same again

Suspiria 4K restoration in the lighthouse... Fantastic

 

[GO]

The Hills Have Eyes .... Still incredible

Ok now hear me out:

The Miracle Club. And I liked it.

Killers of the Flower Moon - had a day off the next day so went to the late showing in the Lighthouse, finishing circa midnight.. It's a very good movie with a great evocation of the period/place, plenty of vivid scenes that stick in the mind and a lot of fine acting. That said, it is a heck of a long haul (my legs were seizing up by the end) & I'm not convinced that you couldn't tell the same story effectively and lose an hour, or 45 mins at least. I haven't see The Irishman yet but I understand it has a similar epic length - I guess that's just Scorcese's modus operandi now.

I'm finding the same with a lot of these 'epics' these days, that you could easily cut 30-45 minutes out of them and not lose much of any importance. Oppenheimer was the same that way too.

i saw christine the other night for the first time. possessed and possessive car movie. good fun all round

Don't Look Now .. superb

The Micro Men ..great fun for lads of my age

 

[MacDara]

I watched The Hidden this afternoon, the ’80s sci-fi/horror that’s really more of an action thriller and it was a blast.

Same. Brilliant film. The sheer freakiness of it has never been surpassed in American horror cinema.

100% agree.

It's as mental today as it was the day it came out...it brought me back to the excitement I felt the first time I saw it.. circa 1985 on car boot library VHS

One thing that always strikes me and one of the main reasons I'll go and rewatch movies in the cinema is for the sound and how much it ramps up the terror..and the sound of TCM is some of the best you'll ever hear.

It's like a erm..sledgehammer to the face

The whole cinema erupted in applause at the end. What a thriller

Yeah, you pretty much know you're in for a wild ride from the hitchhiker scene onwards

And virtually no special fx. You don't really see anything. A bit of make up.

theres some great camerawork I'd never noticed before..

Spoiler: not a spoiler really

the way the camera zooms in and out when the dad pulls up in his truck to brink Sally back to the house
