Planet of the Apes 1068
A great film I've seen a million times.

Not much to add but for me,3 outstanding bits:
The first appearance of the gorillas
The ending
The incidental music.
The re make....naahh.

Race With The Devil 1975

Two couples on a driving holiday in a motorhome down Texas way stumble across some Satanists. Who amongst us hasn't ?🤣😈 The Satanists,inevitably,have to kill them

It's a slow burner but the ending is scary.It's one of those "They're all in on it" themes

Black Christmas 1974

The best Christmas film by a mile

The original slasher,the original 'the calls are coming from inside the house' and,best of all, there is no neat and tidy conclusion-we never know the killer or his motivation.

The opening POV tracking shot sets the tone.

The Great Rock n Roll Swindle 1980
Still maintain this is the best music bio
It's satire,comedy,fantasy,myth,messy,incomprehensible,abstract,tasteless,exploitation,insulting,debunking,confusing,perverse and above all else....TRUE!

The best scene in the film - their look,the music,coming over the brow of the hill,the panic of The Warriors.
Perfect

The Nudist Story(1960) aka For Members Only (ooerr missus)
Found this gem on the brilliant @talkingpicturestv.bsky.social

Ostensibly an earnest look at naturism but really just a chance to look at naked people.

Like a Benny Hill skit to our jaded eyes,with strategically placed teapots etc.😆

Wonder if they bought them from here?
This is an ad from 1985.Sadly no more.
