40 years ago, when I was six, my dad took me to see Back to the Future. Today I got to do the same with my 6 year old son. Absolutely magic. He really enjoyed it.

Bugonia (dir. Yorgos Lanthimos, 2025) Saw this tonight. A strange, intense warning to humanity. Part myth, part nightmare. Unsettling, beautiful, and weirdly funny. I highly recommend it.

The Hourglass Sanatorium (Wojciech Has, 1973) First watch tonight. Decided to see it properly on the big screen. A dream within a dream: unsettling, decayed, and hypnotic. Józef’s fate feels inevitable, trapped in the machinery of memory, becoming part of it. A film that lingers

One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest (1975, dir. Miloš Forman) One of the greatest films of the 70s. An incredible ensemble where every actor shines, giving Jack Nicholson the perfect stage for a career best performance. Masterpiece.

Last night’s film was The Last Picture Show (1971) by Peter Bogdanovich, a raw, haunting portrait of a small town slipping into a new world. The older generation watches as the youth stumble from uncertainty and longing into whatever comes next. Cinematic perfection.

Thelma & Louise (1991). Ridley Scott’s western odyssey. A launch from the mundane into the mythic, and probably one of the director’s best. I had not seen it in years and it was so worth returning to.

Tonight’s film was a gripping surprise. The Age of Disclosure (dir. Dan Farah) delves into the possibility that we’re not alone. It offers no easy answers, just two haunting questions: if it’s all lies, why? And if it’s true, how do we prepare for a very different reality? Superb

THE FISHER KING (Terry Gilliam, 1991) Gilliam’s most tender film. Wide, tilted frames box in brilliant performances and a redemption tale that feels surreal and painfully true. Self-loathing makes the world look uglier, but this film reminds us that grace can still break through.

Just watched Train Dreams. That’s easily one of the most moving films I’ve ever seen.

Sorcerer (William Friedkin, 1977) A perfect film. The opening is like a hard-edged documentary, dropping you into four lives with startling realism before an hour of pure, nail-biting madness. Few films capture tension, sweat and fate with this much raw power. A masterpiece.

My first time seeing this film last night. What an experience. Not sure why it has taken me so long to see it but the wait was worth it. Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair…. 5 stars.

I make no apologies.

Tonight, Bob Clark’s brilliant Black Christmas.

Over 90 years old and King Kong still manages to capture the imagination and excitement of my two boys.

A psychedelic dreamscape of pure high camp. The Wizard of Oz (1939), dir. Victor Fleming, still enchants. Songs etched into our minds, and Margaret Hamilton’s scene-stealing Wicked Witch is unforgettable. Happy New Year.

Tonight’s film… still packs a punch. Still shocks and disturbs. Still deliciously unsettling and humorous.

Just rewatched ‘Last Year at Marienbad’ directed by Alain Resnais. The last time I saw it was 17 years ago and it hit even harder this time. A hypnotic dream of memory, obsession, architecture and time folding in on itself. Surrender to it and you shall be rewarded… I think!

I usually think these types of folk horror can only be made in Britain, but the influence on Hereditary (2018) is obvious and works beautifully. Penda’s Fen (Alan Clarke, 1974) leans more into political and religious oppression, but is no less startling.

I loved Marty Supreme. A very original film. It played me throughout the whole film. Bravo.

I’ve decided this film is damn near perfect. I always get caught out by the ending. I’m never ready for it. I simply don’t want it to end.
