In order of excellence
The Secret Agent

I decree that you’re due some rewatches of some favourites

Definitely on a music mockumentary kick because my favourite rewatch was Spinal Tap and my fav first watch was Hard Core Logo (with an hon mention to The Moment).
The 24 hour period of Showgirls, Wuthering Heights, and Silence of the Lambs made me feel a bit loopy.

Best: The Secret Agent, the documentary about the recording of the Company cast album, rewatching Waiting for Guffman as a tribute to Catherine O’Hata
Worst: turned off Pee Wee after twenty minutes, walked out of Sirat
MMOTM:
What was your Sirat issue? If it won’t be a spoiler

Hard to say without spoiling I’m afraid! Part of it was the headspace I was in: I was in a really anxious mood on the day I went to see it and it was the worst possible choice of film to get you out of that headspace. But I thought it was quite empty and was punishing its characters just to be shocking, not in service of story or theme or meaning. Reading the rest of the plot summary afterwards only confirmed that for me

worst: drive-away dolls
movie moment of the month: mouse on the moon in ratcatcher
also rewatched the fincher dragon tattoo, like that film a little bit more every time i see it, and get a little more annoyed we never got any of the sequels too

36 watched with 4 being rewatches.
Best: Perfect Blue, Malignant and Oddity
Worst: Night Always Comes, Underworld: Awakening
MMOTM: Hard to not pick the whole of Malignant but the chair throw probably tops it.
Honourable movie moments go to Homefront & Parker for Statham with hair

Been quite a month of women doing crazy shit with Cat People, Red Rooms, Censor, Swallow, If I Had Legs I’d Kick You and The Piano Teacher.

Quiet month and nothing new that wowed me, really. Massively behind on The Moment / Secret agent etc due to being away.
