80% of my feed is bird photos and I’m okay with that. Folk horror, film noir, Christopher Lee is my Dracula.

Catching Fire - Excellent doc about Anita Pallenberg, muse of The Rolling Stones (3/5 of them anyway)

Down Periscope - light military comedy. Not bad.

Strangers on a Train - Hitchcock classic

The Mummy - Why Universal’s Dark Universe didn’t use this as a film as a model is beyond me.

Dust Bunny - A cozy horror version of The Professional.

Weapons - even better on 2nd viewing

Damnation Alley - 70s inspiration for Fallout. Sure it’s cheesy but it’s also fun.

Age of Innocence - Scorsese’s homage to Visconti is a masterpiece but it’s not for me

The Fisher King - still holds up but is stalkerish by todays standards

Control - excellent Ian Curtis biopic
