Ideally we go and see it as a double header... and when we leave for the cinema we can say 'It's Nosferatime'

No? Cool. I'll see myself out.

Feel like we need some snappy 'Barbenheimer' style branding for New Year's Day's double-header of We Live In Time and Nosferatu.

Anything catchier than We Live In Nosferatu?

Shaun of the Dead was lightning in a bottle, instant classic. When I saw Hot Fuzz and The World's End for the first time at the cinema, I enjoyed them, but was initially slightly disappointed... But over the years they've grown on me so much, I honestly can't choose a favourite. A great trilogy!
