With daughter no.1,had to warn her raunchy sex scene coming up which I had completely forgotten about. First watched it when I was about 10 and it scared the shit out of me and has remained an absolute favourite ever since. A brilliant film.

Saw it in 1973 as a double bill with The Wicker Man for warm-up. Came out of the cinema shaking!

Itās an atmospheric masterpiece.

Yep, thatās how they went out on first release. It was a good summer for films, Zardoz a bit later.
In the late 70s (maybe 1980) when to my mind in those days there was nothing to do on Sunday between the pub closing at 2pm and opening again at 7.00pm We occasionally spent the afternoon in the cinema.
I remember one double bill of Midnight Express and Taxi Driver

Why choose? I should get sufficient pizza and booze in to allow you to watch them all.

The wife is working and then going out with her sisters, so I do have about 8 straight hours of vegetating lined up.
With a short break for an M&S microwave curry.

Horror to go with horror then.
Finished Season 3 of Dark. Thoroughly enjoyed the whole lot. Got any more recommendations anyone?
The (Swedish IIRC?) original is a work of art.

I agree. Iāve never seen the US remake. They say that as remakes go itās really pretty good. But itād have to be very good indeed to match the original. Itās not really a horror movie. Itās a coming-of-age movie with a vampire in it.
The special features on the DVD include quite a long interview with the director, in which he laughs a fair bit. At one point the interviewer asks him what the filmās message is. He says something like (slight spoiler) āHmmm. Maybe, āBe nice to peopleā. Because you never know if they might have a centuries-old supernatural friend with terrible powers and a very bad anger management problem.ā
