The Silence Of The Lambs is the only ā€˜horrorā€™ film to have won the Oscar for best picture.

If for no other reason (and there are many, in particular his documentaries), Demme :+1:

Something Wild is really really quite tense, from what I remember. I mean it begins like a comedy then Raily Otter comes along and it gets dark.

having checked his filmography, turns out iā€™ve only seen the one! blimey

Rachel Getting Married is very good.

he started off in the Roger Corman world. I donā€™t think Paul Feig has made any women in prison films!

his filmography is definitely quite strange though

Tell you whatā€™s good
Rachel getting married

I read the plot synopsis. It sounds horrifically depressing.

Watch Something Wild for sure.

It is a bit aye, in that way that feels real as opposed to exploitative though. Anne Hathaway is fucking amazing in it.

The tv didnā€™t have a clue what I was up to, sheā€™s never seen silence of the lambs though. I failed to mention the reference

Itā€™s got a bit where Robyn Hitchcock is the wedding singer which is great

arenā€™t like, TV on the Radio in that film?

Tunde Adebimpe has a supporting role
