    Proper British-isms!

    True Cinema. 31 of these films span 34 years (30 in 20), defining a generation of comedy in the UK. 'Dad's Army' and 'Blackadder' on T.V., 'Carry On' on Film.

    Films that unfortunately don't transcend nations, they were never transnational at the time, and for good reason. My Dad of 81 years would of grown up with such brilliant British comedy. "Infamy. Infamy. They've all got it in for me!" Was always a brilliant quote that he'd repeat…

    Vile. Deplorable. The content AND the filmmakers. Fuck this "film".

    Portrayed as a psychological horror, The Wailing has a contemporary formula setup as three comprising stories that co-exist to form a grander narrative - which is greatly understandable and perfectly practiced.

    Brilliant cinematography is noticable with one-shots here and there, pursuing…

    12 Angry Men

    ★★★★★

    Quite possible the best film EVER! Period. No rebuttal needed. This classic masterpiece focuses purely on story and characteristics, pushing the limit of man with confrontation and realistic thinking.

    The steps taken in this film are absolutely phenomenal, as Juror 8 makes the rest realise that reasonable doubt can be found through their clouded minds.

    "He's an old man, who knows if he's sure of anything." Juror 3 leads the charge against Fonda's character that becomes rather personal along the…
