Manhunter 1986
This film—the photography, acting, sets, costumes—is close to perfect. I don’t mind the cheese of the writing. The only disappointment was the ending, which was a little too neat. They just lucked out he was home for this third murder? Missing was the suspense of timeliness, which “Silence of the Lambs” would do so well with the simple trick of parallel editing a few years later.

Vertigo 1958
“I always said you were wasting your time in the underwear department” has to sickest burn of all time and the scene with the portrait one of the best early examples of cringe. The vicarious shame! Poor Midge. She’s up for Scottie’s kink, and, no, Scottie’s not having any of it.
If you think too hard about the fact that she puts on the necklace and he marches her to her death only after they “fulfill” their relationship, this starts feeling very yuck.
A powerful film about misogyny that also manages to be misogynistic. That nun is fooling no one. Justice for Judy.

Glitter never looked so good. But what happened to all the Oscar Wilde stuff??? 😅
