10. Untold: Deal with the Devil,Watched: Dec 22 Documentary
11. The Trip,Watched: Dec 21 Thriller
    Cracking. The sheer novelty of difference sounds and cadences also put the icing on the cake for me.
12. Black Christmas,Watched: Dec 15 Horror
    Not really my thing - Might be a 70s thing that the most sympathetic character was the put upon police lieutenant.
13. Wrath of Man,Watched: Dec 11 Action
    Jason Statham in a film with classy pretentions complete with the now ubiquitous ominous long bow sound track that everyone goes for. Soft sport for Holt Mcallany.
14. ZZ Top: That Little Ol' Band From Texas,Watched: Dec 9 Documentary
15. The Lighthouse,Watched: Dec 5 Drama
    Intense. Bonkers. Impressive. and that's just Willem Dafoe.
16. White Boy,Watched: Dec 1 Documentary
    A real head shaker on how so many people were in on screwing this guy.
17. Ronnie Coleman: The King,Watched: Nov 29 Documentary
    Pretty standard no real drama and a bit long, but Ronnie comes over as a lovely guy and you wish him well.
18. Edge of Tomorrow,Watched: Nov 14 SciFi
19. Portrait of a Lady on Fire,Watched: Nov 9 Drama
20. The Harder They Fall,Watched: Nov 6 Western
    Difficult to see how this could go wrong with such a great cast, and Regina King was the star for me.
21. Inside Job,Watched: Nov 3 Documentary
    Steal money, use that money to buy influence to make stealing money in that particular way legal. Keep money.
22. Prince of Darkness,Watched: Oct 31 Horror
    Once I got past some of the distractingly average effects - which I'm sure weren't state of the art, even in 1987, it was pretty enjoyable. I can't help thinking a toe up the arse rather than a rugby tackle would've done the trick.
23. Castles in the Sky,Watched: Oct 28 History
    Like that Eddie Izzard looks like Herr Flick in the poster.
24. The Crime of the Century,Watched: Oct 25 Documentary
    How do these people sleep at night? Mind- blowing.
25. Girl, Interrupted ,Watched: Oct 24 Drama
26. The Witch,Watched: Oct 23 Horror
    Atmospheric, compelling and thoughtful.
27. The Killers,Watched: Oct 21 Crime
    What a noir should be all about. Burt Lancaster has some subtlety - not something you'd normally associate with him - we rarely see 'the Grin' here.
28. The Guilty,Watched: Oct 16 Drama
    “Broken people save broken people” ooof. Loses a star right there- and it doesn't have many to play with.
29. The Guilty,Watched: Oct 16 Drama
    I had to watch this before I watched the remake, so now am intrigued how they'll compare.
30. Thief,Watched: Oct 11 Crime
    James Caan building on his rep. Want a edgy, cool and nihilistic lead? He was your guy. Special mention for the music, until it went all power ballad at the end. and big shout out to the 80s version of aviators that everyone seemed to wear - smoky tints and all.
31. Malcolm X,Watched: Oct 3 Biopic
    So much to admire here. What surprised me what the verve that it started with, going beyond a by the numbers bio pic.
32. 1917,Watched: Sep 27 War
    Wears it's war movie tropes lightly, which is hard to do.
33. Destroyer,Watched: Sep 25 Crime
    Big fan of Nicole Kidman, and she's strong enough to carry it but there were a few too many times where it dragged especially when it seemed like the momentum was picking up.
34. I Remember You,Watched: Sep 23 Horror
    the spectacular Icelandic scenery provides some ready made aura. Throw in some ethereal Nordic vibes and this was good.
35. Come to Daddy,Watched: Sep 21 Comedy
    Well I wasn't expecting that.
36. On the Basis of Sex,Watched: Sep 19 Biopic
    Standard legal procedural. Complete with sweeping orchestra at all the rights bits, and the inspirational clinching argument. But well executed. Nice easy Sunday night watch.
