Third time seeing this gem. Very Tarantino style movie. 

How is this one Colin? One of the ones I've not managed to see yet from Carpenter. 

While I greatly enjoyed this French Polar movie, I found the ending rather implausible, but maybe it's a difference of perspective on what grounds the cops will charge someone with a crime in the 1950s compared to today because even though that were right, they had very little evidence that was presented to the audience. 

Another great Korean movie. 

This is one of the two I didn't own before. I had actually bought it before, but the DVD was an obvious counterfeit. I had seen it elsewhere since though, but not in good quality. I enjoyed the film a lot more this time around, though the villain's final scream is pretty unconvincing acting.

Since on my new rating system I cap movies I've only seen once to a max rating of 4.5 stars, this one just become the first (of likely a few) Hitchcock movies to get the full 5. Love the tension in it. 

Other films seen for first time now:

This 40s spoof western had some funny slapstick bits, but mostly I found it rather poor and boring.

Surely one of film's greatest dogs. Also one of the saddest movies I've ever seen. 

Something really different from Kurosawa here. There isn't really much of a story as such, it's just quirky, though gradually becoming tinged by tragedy. 

Pretty weird one, I liked it

Another Kurosawa. Not top tier from him but still excellent. 

A rather short Finnish vampire film from the 50s. Some good cinematography, and an unique twist on vampire lore, but it's not too riveting in the results. Not bad but not a re-watcher.
