Some of my faves:

--

Interstellar

The Departed

Hunt for the Wilderpeople

Lock, Stock and two Smoking Barrels

Rock n Rolla

Ocean's Eleven (and Twelve, Thirteen to me is hit or miss)

This is England

Dead Man's Shoes

Back to the Future

Drive

Spiderman: Into the Spiderverse (genuinely, I loved this movie. It ticked every damn box)

Wall-E

Django Unchained

Once Were Warriors (very raw and violent, as a heads up)

Out of the Blue

Cabin in the Woods

These Final Hours

Shaun of the Dead

Jurassic Park

Memento

--

I love horror movies though, so further in that genre:

--

The Conjuring

The VVitch

Alien

Get Out

It Follows

Pan's Labyrinth

Bone Tomahawk

The Descent

10 Cloverfield Lane

Split

Ghost Stories

The Mist

A Quiet Place

Event Horizon

Insidious (Or at least, the first half of it)

[REC] (Spanish version much better than the remake)

VHS (1 and 2)

Off the top of my head!

I'm so glad you included This is England. I loved that film. It's interesting - that film really resonated with me, but it's not one I usually recommend, because it also struck me as a film that many might not relate to. Nevertheless, I'm really glad you included it.

Yeah it's one I've watched a couple of times now, it always sticks with me but in a rather odd way. I couldn't explain it to anyone, but I put it in just in case someone else sees it and feels the same.

Well said. I really loved it.

I didn’t choose the skux life.

The skux life chose me.

You ever see Dale and Tucker Versus Evil? It's not amazing, but its amazingly fun.

Foveaux  ·  1861 days ago  ·  link  ·  

Yes! It's such good fun.

I put it on when my now partner came round for the first time. She was super quiet when we first met but watching that she lost the plot and was laughing the whole time.

Will always have a special place in my heart for that night alone.
