One Night in Miami - good and Kingsley Ben-Adir is great as Malcolm X but like Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom it definitely feels like it works better as the stage play it started out as

Watched The Texas Chain Saw (2 words) Massacre for the first time - I stumbled across it while scrolling through Shudder, and thought “aye, that’s a Friday night film”. Thought it stood up loads better than other classic slashers of the 70s and 80s. Genuinely weird and unsettling, and not as gory as I’d imagined.

Was lucky enough to catch a cinema screening a few years ago, first time I’d seen it in a while. A lot of the acting is very very bad but would agree with this. It’s hella cheap and grotty and it totally works for it.

Yeah holds up so well. Saw it on Channel 4 super late night in my early teens and like you say ‘unsettling’ is an understatement.

Thanks!

If you haven’t seen Upgrade, it’s on Netflix and is excellent

I think the sound design is the thing that’s lasted longest with me, some of those metallic sounds still get me.
TCM2 is great too if you can separate it from the first and let it be it’s own thing

it’s really good
one of the few horror films I can think of that is shot in blazing sunlight, I think that just adds to the eeriness

I’ve only else seen the one with Renee Zellweger and Matthew McConaughy in, think it’s the 4th?
Quite fancy a long film this evening, not seen either before.

Originally put Barry Lyndon, but I saw it at the BFI a couple of years ago (they always seem to put it on) and it was an “experience”, and I loved it. I don’t think I’d ever want to really see it out of that setting tbh
can you watch Rocco and His Brothers for me and let me know if it’s worth it
