correction - THE FINAL ALLIANCE

I could recommend THE LAST ALLIANCE for the Hasselhoff/cougar action team, or for albino John Saxson chewing the delicious scenery, but I'm mostly recommending it for pleasure of hearing Bo Hopkins deliver lines like
"Don't set there suckin farts out of a dead chicken."

I love personal watch projects and have enjoyed setting parameters that force me out of my default viewing settings. This sounds like a high-success percentage exercise

(1970) SWEET TRASH - John Hayes

True strangeness on film. After flipping for Hayes' THE HANGUP-a pretty nasty hardnosed crime film packaged as a cheap skin flick-I had high hopes for more of his singular porno-auteur sensibilities unsure if it were a flash in the pan. It was not! This one's wild.

Synthwave Patient Zero Big hair, big neons, big synth tunes, big psychotronic genre silliness, big campy tone, and not too sleazy but just sleazy enough. '80s movies that actually are as '80s as people who didn't live throu...

Shoot your shot

Disqualified for choosing GROUNDHOG DAY... figured it must not have grossed 100M, but Wikipedia indicates that it did. Hmmm

I like to bust Nette's balls online, but that's not my intent here. I agree with him that nothing's topped SEXY BEAST since its release. That's a stone cold classic and some of my picks might seem like they're the pastiche things he's talking about, but I'm earnest in my affection for these

Some of these aren't strictly gangster pictures, others are Irish or Welsh, but they all deal with crime and gangsters are at least implied. These are some standout post-SEXY BEAST Btit, Scot, Irish and Welsh offerings that came to mind

Michael Caine’s Play Dirty – Fighting War as a Criminal Enterprise Lee Marvin, talking to Roger Ebert, once dismissed The Dirty Dozen, in which he played a gruff major leading a band of cut-throats on a suicide mission to wipe out Nazis, as a “dummy money-maker”. …

(1969) PLAY DIRTY - André de Toth

Bleak and brutal and beautiful in a brutally bleak way. A stand out men on a mission movie about a dirty dozen or so expendable inglorious bastards engaging in ungentlemanly warfare

favorite first watches of July 2025

I was going to say ask your mom, but decided I'm more mature than that

Movies I watched in July 2025

I won't watch the shitty ones. I have standards

Good homework
