Exploitation week!

E&A - experimental, didn't work
BE - she's not Black but nevermind, she is gorgeous
SOTHB - now we're talking. Everything you want from this type of thing
TSWSBTD - deserves to be much better known. Proto-Blaxploitation but elevated

Weapons - I expected more given the premise and the reviews
Lake Mungo - clever mockumentary with real scares
The Gunfighter - classic western set-up really well done
Pickup on South Street - excellent noir. Widmark's smirk is brilliantly annoying

Day 3:Catwoman - sorry don't know who designed the updated costume (maybe Darwyn Cooke?) but this image is drawn by Adam Hughes

Hiroshima Death Match - yakuza classic sequel. Relentless
Police Story - 1st ever Jackie Chan film, lots of fun
Mr Klein - excellent drama about occupation and collaboration with a different role for Delon
LYAM - hmm, i suppose the word is enigmatic...

Storm, Rogue, Magik, Mirage, Shadowcat, Sage and Mystique

It's a tribute to the creators (esp. Claremont) that there are so many to choose from. Had to leave off a few faves! Really every team should have a telepath so if we consider Mystique a baddie swap her out for Emma/Betsy.

TLOC - delightful despite the subject matter being depressing on paper
CCTH - proto-Blaxploitation with fantastic casting, great real world locations
BT - classic that similarly captures a specific time and place expertly
MM - started well, got silly

GJ - the performances were good
TBATB - been on the watchlist for a long time and worth it. Looked fantastic and cracking script
TAJ - another one I wanted to see for years. Proper crime story!
TAS - better than average Hammer. Again, looked fantastic

CMIYC - last big unseen Spielberg
TBG - really good spaghetti western
Pig - good to see Nicolas Cage back making proper films
Eileen - well that took a turn! I was loving the film I thought it was going to be and loved the film it turned into

Considering how busy I am with things at home I am pleasantly surprised by that number.

4 films with Ineson and 3 films by Fulci. I'll list them below!

Nightmare true story - unbelievable and yet all too believable
A wild Mexican horror classic
Oscar bait that has become a bit of a punchline now but it's actually really, really good
Timely reminder about how quickly everything can just go to Hell

Franchise/sequel/reboot week

G -1 is it! No need to see another Godzilla film now
Frankenstein - looked great but story was rushed
WUDM - the puzzle is always more interesting than the solution
A 2 - heard this was surprisingly really good and it is!

2000s is the weak link but I did enjoy that film, just nowhere near as much as the previous entries in the franchise (excluding Hellraiser 3!)

Predictable but very well done comedy drama
Last "big" Hitchcock on my watchlist. Good but not a big fan of his spy films
A scathing and certainly accurate portrayal of the US pres
Early work from a master who hadn't quite mastered his process yet

Never doubted my number 1 for a single second!
