"MaryMillingtonsGhost 10:24 Thu Sep 14 Re: 2020 Movies (now including 2021 and 2022) If you like your schlock horror, The Green Inferno. Although not strictly speaking a new film, pretty grim Gave it a go, pretty hard to watch in places."

“Now be a good boy and put the Kettle on.!” Brando and Pacino never had the menace for the job. Alan Ford however….

*A man called Otto

"My name is Otto - Better than I thought it would be, one of those films you don't see much of these days. Hanks really good."

"Just watched Snatch - First time for a long while.. Still bloody great.. Bullet Tooth, Boris the blade, squeaky dog & brick top !!"

The Bikeriders will be the biggest film of the year. Austin Butler the new James Dean and Tom Hardy the new Brando. Supported by Jodie Comer and Michael Shannon.

"Chim - Sightseers is funny? I actually found it disturbing, the fella was a cold blooded physcho with no redeeming features or motives whatsoever, he even had to murder the friendly old boy on the moors. Yes, only a film of course, but it freaked me out. I'm not really into brutal violence in films just for the sake of it, unless it''s a true story about a serial killer or the like. I do like that directors other films though."

Just finished Saint Maud. It's excellent. Stunning for a debut directorial. Not watched Climax but Enter the void is absolutely superb. Gaspar Noe's latest film is about dementia. Not sure I'm willing to put myself through it. Trailer looks far too painful. I'd rather watch a shit hollywod war film with an endless bodycount.

"Agree with emotional over 50 chim.,very odd. Have you seen climax from gasper noir, not a horror at all , but from a truly brilliant opening dance scene then just becomes one big acid trip ,felt like I'd had lsd not enjoyable but bloody intense ."

"chim chim cha boo 10:35 Thu Sep 14 Thanks mate. Only seen a few of those, so got plenty to watch."

Gary Strodders shank 10:28 Thu Sep 14 I saw Scrapper the day it came out and I loved it. I must admit I got a bit teary. Has anyone else noticed as you get older (in your 50s) you even more sentimental?

"...my favourite of that lot is the very serious and unsettling St Maud, with the added bonus of it partly being shot in Southend. Another film that has just popped into my head is the really fucking creepy The Witch. Everything that happens in that film is taken from contemporary accounts of the things that happened to the original pilgrims. Given that fact, it's hardly surprising why America is so fucked up, given it's foundations. The director went on to make The Lighthouse, another great, weird as fuck film about two blokes who basically drink themselves into madness and death. Jaan, enjoy! (I'm guessing you've seen some of my suggestions already though?"

Has anyone seen Scrapper ? I've just seen the billboard with the kid in a West Ham shirt

"If you like your schlock horror, The Green Inferno. Although not strictly speaking a new film, pretty grim."

"Encounter. (2021 with Riz Ahmed) St Maud. Imagine if Maud was a pious Muslim and you'll get what the film is REALLY about. Titane (French Chronemboug-like body horror) Night Fare (2016) Psycho Parisien taxi driver. Upgrade (2018) more science fiction (a genre I'm not usually that fond of) that's great fun.In fact I just watched the trailer again and pissed myself laughing. Brilliant seeing a bloke who doesn't know what his body is doing while fighting. Guns Akimbo (while I'm on the subject of films I thought were going to be shit but were actually great), Daniel Radcliffe wakes up with guns for hands. Funny as fuck, surprisingly. Turbo Kid if you like 80s splatter. Good fun Boss Level. I loved this film. 'I am Wan Yin and Wan Yin did this'. Psycho Goreman. Not for everyone, deliberately cheap, 80s music, shit costumes but funny as fuck script. This is the problem of having a missus who is younger than me and loves all kinds of shit horror. Sometimes though there's an absolute peach of a film. I've sat through countless shit films and filtered these out to save you the bother. I'd watch every one of those films again."

"chim chim cha boo 9:49 Thu Sep 14 Thanks chim. Seen The House that Jack built (you’re not wrong about that being a difficult watch!) and The Hunt. Not seen the others, so will check them out."

Decent sound track to go with Hell or. High Water also.

"Jann, Sightseers- funny as fuck by the Same director of Kill List. The house that Jack Built, Nasty and very hard to watch. Mandy, a great druggy horror with Nick Cage Andrea Risborough The Hunt, another nasty one with a great twist. Donald Trumps most hated film. Wind River Hell or. High Water - two outstanding films by the same director."

"The new Indiana Jones film is truly awful. Indiana Jones character is miserable and unadventurous. The female is completely dislikable. It's long winded, unbalanced and purely nostalgia driven shit. On the plus side I've been watching older weird movies and found some gems. Kill List Session 9 The Signal Coherence The One I Love Time Lapse The Ghoul Hereditary Triangle Midnight Special All quirky and original, mostly independent films. If anyone has any other weird films to recommend I'm interested."

I enjoyed Talk To Me. Best not to get too analytical about it though - otherwise it doesn’t make a lot of sense. I got round to watching Oppenheimer recently. Now that was a very good film and possibly an Oscar for Cillian Murphy.

Last night I watched the latest horror sensation Talk to Me. Certainly was a superior horror movie but not worth the hype.

Best Casablanca Worst too many to mention

"Catching up with films can be very enjoyable. Watched 3:10 to Yuma (2007) again recently, loved it.. And True Grit (2010) Both stand up and are great movies."
