The Red Shoes (1947)
This is one of those strange ones for me. Second time watching it and I can see that objectively, it really is a fine movie, and I understand why some think it's one of the best ever made. But personally I don't enjoy it too much - well...I do, but for the wrong reasons :p I giggle at the melodramatic absurdity of some of the situations and relish in the extremity of it all. That said, I can't fault the ballet sequence half way through. A fantastic spectacle that begins with delightful, ever so slightly creepy fairytale whimsy and devolves into a trippy LSD infused nightmare. If nothing else, I recommend you watch this scene - a perfect marriage of cinematic magic and stage.

Just watched The Mummy (1932). What a great slow-burn horror! Always worthwhile dipping back into the classics every now and then. Much superior to the Brendan Fraser iteration...heh.

"Planet Of The Apes" (1968)
Science fiction doesn't get much better than this. Great, thought provoking story, excellent dialog, brilliant make up FX , and of course, Charlton Heston. A classic. |

Just got done watching House on Haunted Hill for the millionth time. I think I could watch that movie every day and not get tired of it.

Comedy of Terrors. It was my first time watching this movie and I totally loved it. One of the best horror-comedies I've seen in a while and Vincent Price is hilarious, as are Peter Lorre and Boris Karloff. The line where he says to his wife "He did more than collect curious objects madam, he also fathered one." made me die laughing.

Love this film. Rathbone's never ending death scene is a hoot.

The scene where they are sitting on the coffin and they're just telling him to stay dead is hilarious. I love that Peter Lorre gets the girl in the end.

Mandy (1952)
7/10 Wonderful little gem of British Cinema - the story of a born-deaf girl living in post-war Britain. Some great acting, particularly from the titular character whose pained and confused expressions really do evoke sympathy as the adults around her try to teach her to speak. A few plotlines left unresolved and some questionable character motivations, it's still a wonderful tale.
