Their Finest (2016)

A former secretary, newly appointed as a scriptwriter for propaganda films, joins the cast and crew of a major production while the Blitz rages around them.

Gemma Amerton is really good, as are Bill Nighy and Sam Claflin.

Possession (1981) - A woman starts exhibiting increasingly disturbing behavior after asking her husband for a divorce. Suspicions of infidelity soon give way to something much more sinister.

I appreciated this much more watching it a second time, knowing it's an over-the-top bananas movie. 3.5/5

The Far Country (1954)

Different kind of Western as it's based on the Yukon Gold Rush time period in Alaska and the Yukon. Jimmy Stewart and a western, I'm not sure if I can be bias here as I love the genre and the actor.

Action, adventure, a little love story, betrayal,...this movie has it all. For a movie from the 1950s, it holds up. Another great film that's taken me too long to see, really an iconic movie.

The Blair Witch Project (1999) - Three film students vanish after traveling into a Maryland forest to film a documentary on the local Blair Witch legend, leaving only their footage behind.

Many people think this film is a whole lot of nothing, but it's one of my favorite horror movies and I still find it very unsettling even after repeated viewings. 5/5

I saw this film just two weeks ago, I liked it, but i think the same, it's whole lot of nothing, didn't find it that scary although the thought of that happening in real life, that's some scary shit

I saw this movie at an art house theatre before any press came out about it.

Really thought it was actual lost footage. until I got home and I heard that they maxed out a credit card to make it and sold it for a lot. Wasn't really scared but more tripping out that it could happen in the middle of the woods.

Recently found out that this is a horror genre that started in Italy with Cannibal Holocaust in 1980. I've never seen Cannibal Holocaust but it's on my list for this reason and because it was banned in some countries.

The Witch (2015) - A family in 1630s New England is torn apart by the forces of witchcraft, black magic, and possession.

Over the last few years, this has become a Halloween favorite. 4.5/5

A masterpiece of a movie, one of my all time favorites.

It was somehow better than Rebecca, Rear Window, Vertigo, North by Northwest and Psycho. Absolute masterpiece 100/100.

That movie is creepy AF. I don't agree that it's better than all those other Hitchcock movies you mentioned - but it's very good.

Magic Mike (2012) a great story, cast, soundtrack and lots of beefcake (eg Mathhew Moconaghey in leather g-string ) I give it a 5 of 5

Ammonite (2020)

1840s England, acclaimed but overlooked fossil hunter Mary Anning (Kate Winslet) and a young woman sent to convalesce by the sea (Saoirse Ronan) develop an intense relationship, altering both of their lives forever.

Winslet's affecting performance carries this good film, which almost beats you over the head like a bat with its "subtlety." Ronan was good, along with Gemma Jones and Alec Secareanu.

3.5 stars of 4

This was an Aaron Sorkin movie, which drew me is as well as the subject matter. Well acted and entertaining.

Everybody, check out a fellini flick.

It's a very good film, I hated that judge, but what a great performance from that great actor. He stole the whole movie.

yes, he was quite the character!

Upgrade (2018)

No actors I recognized but this movie was cool, scary and maybe our future. Reminded me of a possible future in the same way that Ex Machina did and it's a little frightening.

Cool concept of a guy getting an "upgrade" after becoming a quadriplegic. Not giving anything away other than this is a good movie and was a fun ride.

Bad Hair (2020) a campy horror film about a killer hair weave. It was both thought provoking and really entertaining with an amazing cast (Vanessa Williams ). Plus, they got the style and sounds of 1989 right I give this a 4.5 out of 5
