A deliciously twisted theatre thriller with Michael Caine and Christopher Reeve at their best.
It's a perfect blend of dark comedy and Hitchcockian suspense. Still streaming free on YouTube - do yourself a favor and dive into this gem from 1982! You won't believe the ending. 🤐

The great Roger Ebert once said about "Deathtrap":
“... is not a great film and will not live forever, but if you're an aficionado of whodunits and haven't seen this one, it'll be a treat."
The definition of a "guilty pleasure movie".

WarGames blew my mind as a teen. A brilliant thriller where a kid nearly triggers WWIII by accidentally hacking into military AI. While tech has evolved since 1983, its warnings about artificial intelligence and nuclear warfare feel eerily prophetic today.
