What do people think I'd the best year in cinematic history?
I personally love 1968, 1975, 1980, 1994, 1999, 2007 and 2017.
Would love to hear people's thoughts.
Just watched. BLADE RUNNER with my husband (who had only watched the sequel). I honestly think it’s Ridley Scott’s finest film, everything is absolutely perfect…the set design, the cinematography, the score, the performances and the dialogue. Just an absolute masterpiece.
So I finally watched The Rocketeer the other day after the insane amount of people on here telling me to watch it. And, it did not disappoint! It was very entertaining and a whole lot of fun. I even think the effects had dated very well. Timothy Dalton is sogood as a villain.
INDIANA JONES AND THE TEMPLE OF DOOM was released 40 years ago this week. The second entry in the Indy series, and one of Steven Spielberg’s darker movies, the story behind the scenes is like a runaway mine cart…
1/50
People always praise Rutger Hauer for his performance but the MVP for me is Sean Young as Rachael. There’s so much vulnerability, tenderness and humanity in her performance. She outshines Harrison Ford in their scenes together.

We watched Robin Hood: Men in Tights this morning and I was surprised to see it’s critic score on Rotten Tomatoes is only 42%! It’s so funny and silly in my opinion, what’s not to love?! Any other fans out there? And why do you think critics scored it so low?
So, my husband and I have been discussing what films we consider to be 5 stars and why. I rarely rate any film as 5 stars, but some films I consider 5 star worthy are:
- The Godfather
- Star Wars: A New Hope
- Days of Heaven
-Vertigo
What films do you consider 5 star worthy?
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind was released 20 years ago today. I’m a huge fan of this film! Great dialogue, original concept, brilliant performances and incredibly moving. Are you a fan?
20 Facts About Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind:
1. The film was surprisingly a box office success, grossing $74 million. It’s budget was only $20 million! It was named by the American Film Institute one of the Top 10 Films of 2004.

Thank you for sharing such an interesting thread, I never knew this and I always assumed she had been traumatised by the whole experience. She's such an icon of 70s cinema. I love her as an actress.
Yesterday I received some wonderful news! After months of waiting, I’ve finally had my green card application accepted. I’m here to stay in the States! When I’m able to I’ll be applying for citizenship and become an official American citizen.
What’s a movie that changed your life?
Shawshank Redemption- it made me appreciate film as an art form and it was because of this film that I decided to study Film Studies at degree level
If I did a special podcast series called “Movies, Motherhood and Me” where I focused on discussing the depictions of motherhood (pregnancy, raising children) in cinema and had critics on who were mothers/parents themselves- would people listen?
I’m here to stay!!! Received my green card in the mail today!!! I’m so grateful to be able to come to this wonderful country and be with my loving and supportive husband, our beautiful baby and my two brilliant stepchildren.
We watched Peter Jackson’s remake of KING KONG last night (well nearly two hours of the epic) and it wasn’t too bad. CGI still stands up and the world of Skull island is both fascinating and terrifying. What happened to Naomi Watts by the way? She’s so great in this film!
Maybe the issue isn’t that movies nowadays are “bad” compared to films from the 70s/80s/90s but maybe they’re too safe? And when I’m talking about movies, I’m referring to the big studio blockbusters.
Well, I guess it’s about time that I speak up and finally address the elephant in the room…
I hate discussing politics on the platform. All I really want to do is discuss movies and share memes.
However in this current climate, that’s not possible.

This is literally the funniest response I’ve received to one of tweets.
Yes, my issues with the terrible state of Hollywood is because I wish to be young again…
I’m 34.
If I’m old then anyone in their 40s is an OAP.
To celebrate my awesome news I would love to know what films you consider to represent what it means to be an American and/or represent the “American dream”. God bless America 🇺🇸

Hoping to start recording my new podcast this month. Still looking for guests for season 1. If you're interested then get in touch. Looking for people to discuss their favorite year in film (their Ultimate Movie Year) and discuss what makes their year the greatest.

It's a week shy of the fifth anniversary of its release, but I just feel like watching Under the Silver Lake now. It's gradually turned into a favourite of mine from the past couple years.

Look, I'm all for more films with female leads (heck, some of my favorite films have a female lead) but Bond is Bond. You can't have a female James Bond. Make new characters and new franchises which are well written and interesting. Gender swapping is not the answer.
Found another “hot” take. Did I ever say that I loved the movies from 70s/80s/90s because they were more politically incorrect? Do I like films that feature homophobia/racism or sexism?
The answer is No. No, I don’t.
Sorry dude, but you don’t know me.
“All That Jazz” is a film that truly captures the end of the reign of the New Hollywood auteur.” My latest review of my ongoing series- Voyage to the 70s: All That Jazz Review – The Film Bee Reviews
Are you a fan of ALL THAT JAZZ?
Rope is not a disaster. It’s certainly experimental and may not work for everyone but it was a good attempt at the one continuous shot movie. Hitchcock was a great director, because he didn’t play it safe. He took risks with his films.
"'Rope' (1948) was awful! It was after seeing 'Rope' that I actually began to wonder if Alfred Hitchcock really was a great director."
--- Roman Polanski
Are you a fan of Stanley Kubrick’s EYES WIDE SHUT? Well, here’s a thread 🧵 of interesting facts.
1. Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman spent so long living in the UK, due to the prolonged shoot, that their 2 children acquired English accents.
The ‘FERRIS BUELLER’S DAY OFF’ spin-off film is moving forward with David Katzenberg set to direct.
The film titled ‘SAM & VICTOR’S DAY OFF’ will follow the same-day adventure of the valets who took the Ferrari on a joy ride.

Christopher Nolan would love to make a horror film.
“But I think a really good horror film requires a really exceptional idea. And those are few and far between.”

I’m currently 25 weeks pregnant and my partner and I are more in love than ever. My body may have changed but I’m still me. He loves me for my personality, my sense of humor and our compatibility. Some men are too shallow.
I agree that the majority of films are terrible today. I miss the heydays of the 70s, 80s and 90s. Heck even the early 2000s was a pretty decent time for cinema.
Name a movie you had no idea was gonna be THAT good.💬
Just saw TALK TO ME and it’s the scariest horror film I’ve seen in a long time. Very well made, great performances and effective scares without feeling gimmicky. Highly recommend!
I used to have this strange belief that I would be able to become a full time film critic and be paid for it. Now, I’m focused on being a mom and doing film criticism as a hobby. And that’s okay.
Watched PSYCHO (1960) with my husband last night as he’s never seen it. Anthony Perkins’ performance is so damn good. Yes, the film is all about that shower scene but you still remain invested in the story because of Perkins. His smile at the end is so iconic!
I was an avid fan of Doctor Who since the 2005 new WHO era. It’s always been a bit silly, a bit over the top, slightly left leaning (not a huge deal) but then they started changing the well established lore and the quality of the writing changed dramatically
#RIPDoctorWho
Sony clearly have no idea what they’re doing. Stop pushing cinematic universes on us and just start making decent stand alone films. It’s not rocket science.
THE LONG GOODBYE [1973]
Directed by Robert Altman
This is my favorite Robert Altman movie! Based on the 1953 Raymond Chandler novel of the same name, it stars Elliott Gould in his interpretation of detective Philip Marlowe. What do you think of it?
Wow I can’t believe I’m nearly at 1.9k followers! Thanks to all those who have followed me so far. The interactions I’ve had on this platform have been really positive recently. Keep being awesome!
