One of my all-time favourite Sci-Fi films…an undisputed masterpiece from Stanley Kubrick.

Just finished watching Figures in a Landscape on YouTube. I’m amazed this movie isn’t better known, I found it astounding.

Honestly, I’d never even heard of it. Robert Shaw and Malcolm McDowell makes it worth checking out though. Thanks for posting this.

Returned to the master last night…Akira Kurosawa’s 1954 epic masterpiece, ‘Seven Samurai’.
Followed by a 60th anniversary viewing of ‘The Innocents’ (1961); which I regard as one of the greatest ‘haunted house’ films of all time.

I can watch Seven Samurai over and over again and still love it just as much everytime.

I have never once thought of Gunpowder Milkshake as a kid’s movie. I guess it was about a kid though so… 
It was the one I watched in short chunks 
These movies of online services makes it easier to start and stop when yoe want but I like to watch them from start to end. The family does not allow that always … Therewith I have a number of movies which are watched not even halfway.

Started watching some Bluray Premieres, as I do every year leading up to Christmas Day…
Loved ‘Godzilla vs Kong’…definitely a favourite.
Tim Burton’s unique take on ‘Dumbo’. Great to see Burton reunited with Michael Keaton and Danny DeVito (Batman Returns).
’Evil of the Daleks’…one of the ‘lost’ Dr. Who adventures, newly animated…and thoroughly enjoyable.
’The Lighthouse’…Grim, atmospheric, superbly acted, and totally engrossing…excellent.
’Olympus Has Fallen’. I’d never seen this before, but had a great time with it…‘Die Hard’ at the Whitehouse…
Lastly, one of the best ‘Final Destination’ films…a prequel to the first, actually.
