  12 Angry Men 1957

  ★★★★★ Rewatched 02 Oct 2024

  an absolute masterpiece. of course.

  the writing, the acting, the way it’s shot. some of the best dialogue i’ve ever seen exploring human behaviour and psychology.
  it’s gradual revelations. the fact that it takes place in one room. its message.  amazing.

  On the Waterfront 1954

  ★★★★★ Watched 01 Oct 2024

  obviously this is famous for that one scene, but the whole film had such memorable dialogue and standout acting that was so ahead of its time, it’s no wonder this was so influential.

  Close-Up 1990

  ★★★★★ Watched 28 Jul 2024

  Cinema at its finest.

  Type of film that makes you realise why cinema is so important to society.

  It’s such a raw and honest story, with such complex ‘characters’. It doesn’t get anymore natural than this.
  Highly recommend.

  The Shining 1980

  ★★★★★ Watched 20 Jul 2024 3

  It’s obviously going to be five stars purely because of how much went into this film. Lots of respect to everyone involved.

  Time for a Kubrick bender I reckon.
