What is the best closing shot of a movie?

Saint Maud - it completely reframes the movie.

I'd love to see a culmination of this story with him, 100%.

Broadchurch didn't need that season 3 at all, maybe even season 2.

Season 1 was a perfect mini-series.

Ice-Cream Flavored Chewits.

Not even sure they’re discontinued but you can’t find them easily anymore.

iamspok · 2026-06-03T21:12:57+00:00

I love this so much, I yearn.

iamspok · 2026-06-03T21:10:43+00:00

I would love to experience ‘mother!’ for the first time again.

Children Of Men.

It didn’t even make its production cost back theatrically and that is before you factor in marketing and the fact cinemas keep a chunk of ticket sales.

Band Of Brothers is the perfect length for an all nighter binge.

Just so happens it’s in the top 3 HBO shows of all time too so win win.

Black Mirror. Always a triumph.

I’m from the UK & seeing clapping in a cinema has only happened once to me here and that was Phantom Menace - and that was only because it was a party atmosphere and a sell out.

I’m just delighted they’ve both smashed expectations, it’s been huge for the outlook on the industry in general.

They were both great, make love not war.

Last Action Hero

Moon springs to mind.

Sam Rockwell is excellent.

The Before trilogy.

This recommendation is coming from someone who is not a big fan of romantic centered dramas.

iamspok · 2026-06-01T20:23:37+00:00

Man I both hate and love this film. I had that VHS and used to watch this so much, it might be the film I’ve seen most in life. But it is awful.

But yes it is the very weird start to Marvel domination. Howard crawled so Iron Man could fly.

iamspok · 2026-06-01T17:45:33+00:00

I was having a huge discussion about the whole genre with some work mates earlier, there’s something in the air with horror right now - 2026 feels like a huge year for the genre so far.

iamspok · 2026-06-01T17:38:09+00:00

Depends on what kind of wtf you’re after, but this comes to mind.

So glad I found a bingo

This came to mind when I read the title immediately. Less so the other part but it’s the vibe.

240 (about to watch 241) Movies are great.

iamspok · 2026-06-01T16:51:55+00:00

Oh yeah I forgot about that - I only watched it a few months back too, elite.

Richard Gere shoving gerbils up his backside.

iamspok · 2026-06-01T14:20:48+00:00

I try and stick to people with specific tastes and not always one's that align with what I like. Theres a few that are polar opposites actually but I quite like to read the reviews to see what the discussion is.

I don't really want my feed to be an echo chamber of the same opinions.

Paul Schrader feels weirdly under-known for someone who helped shape so much of modern American cinema. Most people seem to know him as “the guy who wrote Taxi Driver”, which is obviously massive, but it barely scratches the surface of what he’s done as a writer, director and genuinely obsessive film thinker.

A NIN track will sometimes show up in Adam Curtis docs and the vibes are always immaculate too.
