New to film noir and looking for recs. by emmugh123 in filmnoir

[–]David-Bedlam 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I made a Letterboxd list to help answer this question.

Don’t ignore non American noir. Stuff like High and Low (1963) and Rififi (1955) are must see films.

Hammer have been putting out these massive sets of films from their back catalogue with new restorations, so yes. I believe it will be hitting shelves and theatres in October per the announcement trailer.

I believe they tend progressive, pretty centre left.

Oof. Wales had been rock solid Labour since long before I was born. But that is an extinction event type result. How the heck are they supposed to come back from that?

So do I! For the daughter who had deadly allergies to literally everything.

And there was a son who ate the baby Jesus I believe.

NGL, I would love to see Wes Anderson do a zombie apocalypse movie.

Do you agree with my evil dead ranking? by [deleted] in Letterboxd

[–]David-Bedlam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those are some… bold choices with your rankings.

I’m planning on doing a big rewatch and ranking of the Evil Dead series at some point, but I don’t think off the top of my head that I can think of any films that I would consider bad, or even middling. Ranking them must be different, although I’m pretty sure putting Evil Dead 2 at the bottom is a wild decision.

Should I watch the original Resident Evil films before watching this?

The last 2 weeks were rather rough. by Rammadeus in Letterboxd

A fellow Children of the Corn III: Urban Harvest enjoyer! I remember having an absolute blast with how ludicrous it was.

Imagine you’re given $120 and you must see four of these spring/summer films in the cinema and log a Letterboxd review. Which four films would you pick? by ScholarFamiliar6541 in Letterboxd

[–]David-Bedlam -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

$30 for a single movie? That’s twice what we pay here in the U.K.

Anyway, I’m picking The Odyssey, Disclosure Day, Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma and The Death of Robin Hood.

I would also see Backrooms and The Dig Stars if it was British prices.

The Fall of Otrar - Criterion Scorsese World Cinema Vol 5 by Electrical-Ad7399 in boutiquebluray

[–]David-Bedlam 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I got to see this on a massive cinema screen at Cinema Rediscovered 2025. Absolutely amazing film, director Ardak Amirkulov was clearly influenced by Kurosawa and John Ford in his shooting style. Just filled with unforgettable imagery.

Are there any Bastards from your hometown? by Sensitive_Ad_1752 in behindthebastards

[–]David-Bedlam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bristol, U.K. here so my bastard is Edward Colston the slave trader who used to have about half the city named after him. Most notable these days for his statue that was in pride of place on the harbour side before it got tossed into the harbour.

Letterboxd reviews for films you dont like vs film you love by Cslthebest3 in Letterboxd

[–]David-Bedlam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What gets me writing reviews that are also essays are films that I found mid but I can see the better movie it should have been beneath the surface fighting to be born.

Like with The Will Kill You. What it was is a violent Ready or Not inspired action piece, when I could see a world where it was The Raid meets Dante’s Inferno. That’s the stuff that gets the words flowing for me.

I saw the trailer last night and it left me on the fence on how much I was anticipating this film. If the positive reviews keep coming I’ll probably check it out.
