Are there any movie scenes that personify sheer terror better than the dinner table scene from The Texas Chain Saw Massacre?

Nothing like a Billy Wilder movie on a rainy afternoon. The Apartment truly one of the all-time greats.

What was the last update of a classic property that truly nailed the casting of iconic characters? 2009's Star Trek is pretty remarkable in that regard. You don't feel like it's new people taking on the roles. You just feel like they *are* those characters.

The word legend gets thrown around a lot but Robert Redford truly was. R.I.P. to one of the all-time greats.

Giving the original Running Man another look before Edgar Wright's take hits cinemas. This has to be on the list of absolute MOST '80s movies, right?

Saw Weapons for a third time yesterday. Only solidified it as one of my favourites of the year, second only to Sinners. There's just something about the film's atmosphere that is deeply, impressively unsettling. Magnificent piece of work.

One battle... after ANOTHER?... in THIS economy?

Well I have to say Spinal Tap II put a big goofy smile on my face. Just getting to be in the company of these daft characters and songs once again made me happy. And while it doesn't even get close to the original, it's a lot funnier than you might expect from a 40-plus year legacy sequel.

Pound for pound, joke for joke, I think This Is Spinal Tap might be the funniest film ever made. So hoping the sequel lives up to even a sliver of that.

Anyone watched the first ep of HBO's Task? Always up for a new gritty TV drama and it's from the writer of Mare of Easttown which I thought was terrific.

Inside Man is my favourite Spike Lee joint so I'm excited to see him reunite with Denzel for the first time since with Highest 2 Lowest. I've heard good things. I wonder why it took so long for them to collaborate again?

Which movie scenes have stuck with you the most so far this year? A few that spring to mind for me:

You love to see it!

Checking out the latest (last? I doubt it) Conjuring outing today. Some damp squib films in that universe but I remain largely a fan. And I hear it's already doing great business. Always happy to see horror doing well.

Don't quite know how I'm going to resist picking up the @film.curzon.com Michael Haneke box set 😯😍

I rewatched Takashi Miike's 13 Assassins after many years. Forgot just how visceral & thrilling it is. Love the way Miike takes his time setting up the carnage, introducing each assassin and slicing out just how evil the main villain is. Then explodes it into a basically hour long bloodbath. Superb.
