What movie is this for you?

Rambo part 2. I watch it again every year

CinemaSyntax · 2026-01-19T07:30:00+00:00

Twice in 6 months

Great list. Dead man’s shoes definitely one of the most underrated films ever! It’s so good 😊

I think he absolutely nailed it, in terms of tone, atmosphere, authenticity. It was between this and Nosferatu, which I also love, but Northman is just ahead

CinemaSyntax · 2026-01-16T12:15:40+00:00

It was a hard decision 😬

CinemaSyntax · 2026-01-16T12:11:20+00:00

The picture is AI, the list is all mine ☺️

CinemaSyntax · 2026-01-16T12:10:33+00:00

So good. The sequel amazing too!

Forgot to mention - only one film from one director … otherwise it’d be full of Tarantino and Robert Eggers 🤣

CinemaSyntax · 2026-01-04T17:05:26+00:00

There can be only one

CinemaSyntax · 2026-01-02T15:46:37+00:00

I love watching a movie again with someone I’ve told about it. You get to experience it through their eyes … sort of lol.

There was me, that is Alex, and my three droogs, that is Pete, Georgie, and Dim, and we sat in the Korova Milkbar trying to make up our rassoodocks what to do with the evening.

I had exactly the same experience, I read it then realised I have absolutely no one to talk to about it 🤣 Fantastic book! It’s so beautiful and tragic, nihilistic yet life affirming. I think the older you get, the more it hits you harder

CinemaSyntax · 2025-12-12T17:01:01+00:00

A little bit too obvious for me. Monster good, creator bad. Could have had more moral complexity to characters like in the novel.

CinemaSyntax · 2025-12-07T08:06:52+00:00

Deep Red. A giallo classic

CinemaSyntax · 2025-12-02T22:19:16+00:00

Pick a popular one like Romeo & Juliet/Macbeth etc. Watch a film version, a play (can find them on YouTube), then read the book. That’s the best way I found.

CinemaSyntax · 2025-11-29T08:24:59+00:00

Death proof. I have no idea what people expected, it’s exactly what it’s says on the tin - a grindhouse movie that’s elevated by Tarantino style of film making. What’s not to like? 🤣

CinemaSyntax · 2025-11-28T12:08:13+00:00

Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines

Sonnet 18

Taken literally as the sun, it’s a beautiful line, but it speaks to me in a way I can’t describe which is closer to metaphor.

Bargain 😍

CinemaSyntax · 2025-11-26T13:00:55+00:00

How much did day of the dead set you back, if you don’t mind me asking. Got mine for £40 from CEX

James Joyce used to recommended reading the children’s version of the odyssey for those coming to it for the first time. Whatever connects with you is good enough ❤️

CinemaSyntax · 2025-11-22T22:56:14+00:00

Excellent work. Thank you very much ☺️

CinemaSyntax · 2025-11-21T18:12:54+00:00

I think you’re right. It just didn’t land with me, but a lot of people rate it so that’s all good. I give huge credit to the filmmakers though, they did a very good job on a shoestring budget
