Have very fond memories of WOTW from watching it as a child. Not sure how well it will have aged!
TLADILA is an all-time favourite. What a car chase and what an ending!

Thank you. I like to mix it up!

It's an outstanding era of films!

It was a film I'd heard of but was never on my watchlist until I watched The Westerner with Gary Cooper and realised Roy Bean was a real historian figure. Then I was very interested to see what Paul Newman and John Huston did with him, compared to Walter Brennan. It was really good!

For me that is one classic after another. Sorry to see you didn't enjoy the first two as much as I did

Order they were watched it!

What did you think of Mississippi Mermaid? I watched it a few weeks ago. Thought it started well and then lost its way. Hard to forgive any plot that requires two people to bump into each on the streets of Paris. What a bit of bad luck!

Battle Royale and a bit of nunsploitation equals a good week!

There's a nice bit of trivia. Cheers! It was interesting to see the film after watching The Westerner a few months ago. Two quite different takes on the old "Judge"!

Enjoyable Marvel film
Another 80s horror remake that I heard was better than you'd expect and it was, much better!
A film often rated as the best Spanish film ever - need to sit and ponder this one because there's a lot going on
Really good anti-Western

Don't be so hard on yourself - you watched an absolute masterpiece in Interstellar!

I didn't appreciate The Apartment when I saw it. I need to revisit it because everyone agrees it is brilliant and I love Billy Wilder. Will rewatch at some point

Klute is a favourite from that era. I love Pakula. Totally underrated

Akira is getting a limited IMAX release i think. If that doesn't tempt me out of the house then nothing will!

Always love to see Spike represented. Still haven't seen the latest one though

Never heard of it either but always like John Vernon!

Very good run!

What a bonus. Everyone in the States should take advantage and watch this now!

I'm just seeing a lot of reasons to watch this!

Never even heard of Vibes. Like the title though!

TSHDT is criminally forgotten. Very hard to find now which is so disappointing. I finally found an expensive dvd with a terrible transfer but still loved it

Probably my favourite director. I love his stuff, particularly from this film onwards he goes on a tremendous run (with just a couple of disappointments!)

Unfortunately the case with a lot of giallo stuff. They are often not as good as you hope

Sometimes you've just got to watch what you want to watch!
How is The Fifth Cord? It was included in a giallo box set I fancied.

It definitely doesn't get talked about as much as the purely animated films. Shame!

Heavyweight director week!

Tucker - good underdog story ,obviously personal for FFC
AW - excellent drama, excellent performances
Interstellar - first rewatch and enjoyed it much more this time. It's a masterpiece
ACT - very good but not top tier Archers

I saw Bedknobs and Broomsticks at the cinema in what must have been a re-release. All I can remember is the animated football match. Loved it!
