They Live by Night 1948
There’s a particular use of time as a motif in this film. It comes physically in the form of a watch that Bowie (Farley Granger), the protagonist, purchases from a jewellers called ‘Zelton,’ which he gives as a gift to Keechie Mobley, to confess his love. This is a jewellers he ironically would go to rob the next day.
Bowie and Keechie’s relationship is portrayed as pure and innocent, the two even at one point state how they’re not exactly…

King Kong 1976
The awkward middle child of the three ‘King Kong’ movies. Easily the worst of the three, and there’s not too much point in watching it when there’s the superior original film, or the also superior blockbuster from 2005.

I am, I feel so fortunate.

Nosferatu 2024
At the end of the film the stranger that was to my right turned to me and said “well what’d you think about it?” I said I liked it quite a bit. He said he thought it was a bit artsy and didn’t get it, while the woman he was with lovingly tutted, either because of his opinions on the film or because he was chatting to a complete stranger immediately after the film instead of her. We briefly chatted…
