More spookiness last night with the Director's Cut of
Doctor Sleep
.

When it came out I had doubts that anyone could make a decent sequel to The Shining, but it's very, very good.

I watched a couple of old classics last night:

Easy Rider
(1969)
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0064276

...and...
Close Encounters of The Third Kind
(1977)
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0075860

Both absolutely brilliant.

Do we have anything else?
Maybe another horror.
Here's a quirky horror you might like, it's pretty weird - in a good way:
May
(2002)
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0303361

I watched yet another old classic last night:
American Graffiti

One of George Lucas' very early films.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0069704

"A group of teenagers in California's central valley spend one final night after their 1962 high school graduation cruising the strip with their buddies before they pursue their varying goals"

Last night I watched one of those films that you have to have seen if you call yourself a film enthusiast.... but never got round to it:
Lawrence of Arabia.
(1962)

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0056172

I think I've seen bits of it over the years but never sat down to watch the whole things as it's nearly 4 hours.

The word "epic" is thrown around a lot but this is epic in the true sense of the word - the story is simple enough, but the scenery, direction and acting is absolutely film at its best, it's breath-taking.

If you ever have four hours to spare and really want to immerse yourself, I highly recommend it.

Just watched The Marvels. B. Felt like a streaming series condensed into a theatrical movie. If you're not a huge Marvel fan, you can wait it to hit digital.

I really liked the first one.. need to watch it eventually!

——

I completed all of Gen V tv series. It’s really good. The final episode has homelander in it. There’s soldier boy too(not the last..forgot which now but he’s in it for abit ). There are other characters from the main series too.

Other day I watched close encounters of the third kind. The scary part was the alien exiting the spaceship. Reminded me of a mantis. The other ones reminded me of little greys.

And today I watched shin Godzilla then Godzilla king of monsters. Shin Godzilla didn’t have enough action and I thought Godzilla was the good monster. Godzilla king of monsters had a lot of useless characters but nice fights. 6/10 deserved as on IMDb.

Then planet of the apes the original(1968). I loved this movie. What was disappointing in a way was the ending . It really makes you think how low we can go…

I think there’s newer ones today which are leading to this plot. Haven’t watched any yet. For eg: rise of the planet of the apes.

I watched that last week!
Such a great film and one of those where the original version is so much better than the Director's Cut.

I have a couple of films left over from my Halloween playlist that I didn't get round to watching, so last night it was
Bram Stoker's Dracula
(1992)

Coppola's epic version of the Dracula tale starring Gary Oldman, Winona Ryder, Anthony Hopkins, Sadie Frost... and Keanu Reeves doing the worst English accent since Dick Van Dyke in Mary Poppins. :P
