  The Shining 1980

  ★★★★★ Added

  My son wanted to compare this film to "Anatomie d'une chute". (The falling apart of a couple, the male characters in both films are failed writers, fathers guilty of having caused injury to son, etc...)

  The Greatest Night in Pop 2024

  ★★★★★ Watched 08 Mar 2024

  While watching this film with my children, I kept bragging about how as a child I used to watch "The making of" on MTV and then the kids these days don't have such situations. But the ending of this film tugged at my heart and I cried. Goosebumps and all.

  Now this film has left me wondering what are the songs that have brought about social changes in the world.
