Lord of the Files BBC1 remake.

OK I suppose but not as good as the original.

Obviously they took the opportunity to lay on as many cinematic indulgences as they could and by the end it had become Apocalypse Now,Apocalypto and Quest for Fire.

A bit too much music aswell.

1985
Smoking in a film noir style.
Can't decide whether it would have been based in New York in the 40s or Paris in the 40s.
There would definitely have been jazz,whiskey,red wine,cigars and broads involved.

South Glos.The original and the ineffective cover up.
It's been there for at least 25 years.

1st widespread exposure of Vivienne Westwoods work in Ken Russells 'Mahler'

From the Let It Rock era

Developed into the VENUS top famously worn by Pistol Steve Jones

Also did ROCK & PERV with chicken bones

Just brilliant

The Taking of Pelham 123-1974

Walter Matthau at his best.
Gritty 70s NYC.

Great characters,tight script(no flab there)with action,humour,tension and intelligence.

Do NOT watch the 2009 remake; well,only if u want see how brilliant the orig. is.

The Incident-1967
Stumbled across this late one night a couple of years ago.
Martin Sheens 1st feature film

On the face of it a couple of thugs harassing subway passengers.It's more than that tho'

It's terrifying

A true horror

Raises questions about the bystander phenomena

Planet of the Apes 1068
A great film I've seen a million times.

Not much to add but for me,3 outstanding bits:
The first appearance of the gorillas
The ending
The incidental music.
The re make....naahh.

Race With The Devil 1975

Two couples on a driving holiday in a motorhome down Texas way stumble across some Satanists. Who amongst us hasn't ?🤣😈 The Satanists,inevitably,have to kill them

It's a slow burner but the ending is scary.It's one of those "They're all in on it" themes

Black Christmas 1974

The best Christmas film by a mile

The original slasher,the original 'the calls are coming from inside the house' and,best of all, there is no neat and tidy conclusion-we never know the killer or his motivation.

The opening POV tracking shot sets the tone.

As some of you will know, I've been working on book about punk - part teenage diary, part serious reflections on the times, from the NF to Peter Sutcliffe.

The Great Rock n Roll Swindle 1980
Still maintain this is the best music bio
It's satire,comedy,fantasy,myth,messy,incomprehensible,abstract,tasteless,exploitation,insulting,debunking,confusing,perverse and above all else....TRUE!

The Nudist Story(1960) aka For Members Only (ooerr missus)
Found this gem on the brilliant @talkingpicturestv.bsky.social

Ostensibly an earnest look at naturism but really just a chance to look at naked people.

Like a Benny Hill skit to our jaded eyes,with strategically placed teapots etc.😆

I only discovered this a few years ago.Scary,brutal and brilliant.

It's like Apocalypse Now in the outback,and shows just how easily we can lose civilisation.

Donald Pleasance has never been so good.

When two cultures clash.

Psychedelic,biblical,surreal,trippy and brutal.

Lots of improvising,brilliant music and brilliant colour.

Nosferatu

Herzog,Kinski,Gantz,Adjani and a stellar supporting cast.

A slow,claustrophobic,narcotic,sickly tone throughout.

The settings are the cherry on the parfait.

Perfect.

Re-watched for the 1st time in nearly 50 yrs

An environmental film,from the escaping the polluted city to the green countryside where experimental radioactive pest control on farms wakes the dead

Spanish/Italian B film but it stands up, esp the effects

Love it

Picnic at Hanging Rock.(1975)

Profound and trippy.

Got it all:
horror,mystery,suspense,thriller,sci-fi,police procedural,colonialism,end of empire,brutal nature,order,formality,decay,mysticism,sex and,best of all,no neat and tidy conclusion.
