"Midsommar … what an experience "
Absolutely, one of the few films I have watched twice, recently.
It has a weird effect on me that film. I ended up watching several YouTube videos over some of the plot and themes it brought up.
Did the boyfriend really deserve what he got ?
Was he the one sexually assaulted?
What’s with the smile
Loved it |

I did watch some YouTube vids too as I had to do some further research
Did the bf deserve what he got? YES!!!
What a jerk from the start….
I still gag a little at the drink/potion with the pre-mestrual blood in it… (sorry for the spoilers!!) |

The (original) Day of the Jackal from 1973, directed by Fred Zinneman, and starring Edward Fox is a true masterpiece of cinematography, with multiple levels of sophistication and timing.
The remake, possibly featuring Bruce Willis is a dreadful piece of trash, that should be shredded.
Another rarely seen masterpiece, starring Charles Bronson, is Mr. Majestyk; he is a melon farmer who stands up to the local Mafia hoods. Flawed in places, but very entertaining and fast-paced.
A multilayered masterpiece is Three Days of the Condor, starring Robert Redford and Faye Dunaway. I had to source my copy from South Korea; could not find a copy anywhere in the West!

Agree about the jackal remake. Saw it at the cinema and as soon as Richard gere spoke in an Irish accent I burst out laughing and was the only one.
Terrible movie |

Sicario (first one, second one is crap)
Amistad. Heartbreaking
Star wars, you gotta watch it at least once to have an opinion.
Citizen Kane.
The elephant Man, just an amazing story and film.
Ferris bueller's Day off, obviously can't not see it.
Unbroken, another amazing film about the strength of the human spirit.
Pretty much anything with Audrey Hepburn in.
Grosse pointe blank, as it's my favourite film ever.
Alien,aliens the rest of the film's not so much.
Moon, massively underrated film.

Sicario
Grosse Point Blank - brilliant film and in my top 100 certainly close to the top ten. Gets extra points because I Minnie Driver in that part. Also the bit where John Cusack looks at the Baby with Under Pressure playing in the background, fight scene with Benny …it’s definitely worth it’s place on any great film list |

The bridge border scene is probably the most intense ten minutes in a film I have seen |

It's one of my favourites but it has to be the special edition. Ripley is without doubt one of the best heroes committed to screen.
I love when she first meets the queen, not a word spoken everything is conveyed by gestures. |

"Have we had Das Boot?
...the only war film I was ever impressed by!"
It’s a great War film, don’t bother with the TV series though.
Try Downfall if you’ve not seen it, it’s about Hitlers final days in the Bunker. Someone who’s seen and enjoyed Das Boot would appreciate Downfall. |

I'm a fan of French cinema.
Le Grand Blu - version Longe. The story is loosely based on real individuals and the music score (Eric Serra) is magnificent.
Basically any directed by Luc Besson is worthy in my opinion.
And after watching the Big Blue, I felt the need to become a qualified scuba diver, such was the power of that movie. |
