Beach of the War Gods 1973
If the credits are any indication, this is a true auteur’s work. Jimmy Wang Yu takes full advantage with plenty of unnecessary pans and zooms, all while sticking closely to genre tropes. The movie has a surprising amount of drag, with little going for it until a massive, elaborate sword fight slices the film wide open. The following violence feels like a desperate attempt to make up for lost time.

Lost Highway 1997
Watched with mom because she hadn’t seen it. She recommended Blue Velvet to me when I was thirteen.

Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia 1974
LOVE this movie. Love the title. Love the car, the suit, the sunglasses. Love the hilarious “I just bagged your daughter” mug on Alfredo in the picture. Love the flies and the filth. Love Peckinpah’s gorgeous violence and his sad understanding of masculinity. Love that once Warren Oates gets the head, it becomes a buddy flick.
