 Watched this one a few times now as well. Great survival horror.

 As entertaining as the original in most ways, but this mostly shot for shot colour remake of the 1930's film is perhaps a little pointless and the female lead doesn't sing the iconic song 'The Boys in the Back Room'. Overall not bad, but I'd sooner re-watch the Jimmy Stewart version.  Meh. Picks up where the iconic original left off, then Charlton Heston buggers off for most of the movie and the ending is a major downer.  Watched this one quite a few times now. At some point I should also re-watch the remake, to see how they compare.  Good French film from 1943. Had me guessing all the way through.

I need to see this. Or any Marx Brothers movie really. Bit of a blind spot in my film knowledge, the comedy of this era. I've seen a couple of Keaton silents, but no Marx or Chaplin.

 More big guns and policing outside the rules. I remember seeing this as a kid, and I now wonder about how many parental boundaries I actually had!

 The funniest war movie ever! The craziness and anarchy combined with the comedic talent and timing makes a 65 minute movie seem so much longer, in a good way.

The Purge: Anarchy (2014) I´m still not a big fan, as I think the premise is a bit ridiculous, but at least they tap right into primal human nature. We are such a destructive (and self-destructive) race... https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2975578/

 Gritty and a bit nasty, but a gripping watch. This sparks a few memories of the era, but obviously my life wasn't as hard as this.

 Definitely on a bit of a horror kick right now. Watched this one quite a few times. Really fun slasher.

Underrated film. This and its sequel.

 Big dumb fun. Love Clyde, the dumb fight scenes, and the utterly hopeless bikies.

 Many will say this is Tarantino's weakest movie and they are probably right, but it sure is a lot of fun, especially the final chase sequence.

 A pleasant surprise. Great score and cinematography.
By the way, found a cool independent video store in my neighbourhood that specializes in horror and cult films. Owner has great taste. Bought a copy of The Stendhal Syndrome (probably the only good Argento I haven't see yet) |

Coincidentally also the last two films I watched. Third time for me though.

  Had never seen these. What brilliant fun! No one does ultra-violence quite as stylishly as Tarantino. I've never thought much of Uma Thurman as an actress, but she's actually really fucking good. And there's an excellent supporting cast too.
