Prince of Darkness is one of Carpenter's most underrated. A group of grad students are hired by a priest to investigate a strange canister and find the canister contains the Devil himself. Check this one out! #johncarpenter
I'd have put the poster up for Testament also as it is my favorite one, and a good capper on the nuclear anthology. Just got a Criterion release too!
Since we're all feeling existential, anyone wanna watch some nuclear holocaust movies? #miraclemile #whenthewindblows #thedayafter #threads #testament
The latest lineup by #CriterionCollection includes 1983's Testament. Testament is a hard watch, but it's very well crafted and still powerful. Check it out. #Testament1983 #LynneLittman #JaneAlexander
And why shouldn't your character enjoy the classic 1981 Bill Murray comedy Stripes?
Has probably already been brought up, but the finale to Community knocks it out of the park.
Presentation on A Night To Remember for our local film club. Wish me luck!
To me, Stranger Things 5 was a very mixed bag, so I wasn't terribly hyped going into the finale. But that finale managed to turn it all around. The Right Side Up brought the curtain down in a satisfying way and is one of the best in the series.
Even my pet snake is invested in the final season of #StrangerThings.
"This is Hal. I'm ready for my first lesson." 2010, the highly underrated sequel to Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey, is coming to 4k, and I couldn't be more excited! 2010 is a worthy sequel and a solid movie on its own. For those who haven't seen it, check this hidden classic out!
I believe this is what is known as a fire rainbow. Not the most pronounced example, but this was such a great treat to see during my morning errands.
Spielberg's War of the Worlds is one of the most underrated in his filmography. The tripods are absolutely terrifying. #stevenspielberg #waroftheworlds #hgwells
To All A Good Night is a 1980 slasher that makes Silent Night Deadly Night 2 look like It's A Wonderful Life.
My brand of holiday cheer. This movie is awesome. #BlackChristmas #BlackChristmas1974
Twister really is an iconic movie that doesn't get enough credit. Not just for its set pieces and effects but for its writing and characters. It may pile on the melodrama on occasion, but Twister still works not just as a thriller but as a tale of obsession and reconciliation.
With Stranger Things, I keep thinking 'eh, show isn't that good.' Then I start a new season and go "oh wait. It IS good.' I am glad they're wrapping things up with this latest season. So far looks like they are bringing the curtain down with a bang.
It's that time of year. Check the attic for Billy. #blackchristmas #christmashorror
Pleased to bring this stellar edition of The Shining into my 4k collection, made all the better by the awesome art of @mattferguson.bsky.social. I'd call Matt today's Drew Struzan, and their art is always a joy.
Want another excellent holiday chiller? 1984s Silent Night Deadly Night has you covered. This movie really is a genre best.
4k for this just arrived today and after a rewatch, 1974's Black Christmas (from the director of A Christmas Story) has never been scarier. If you are looking for a truly great Christmas Horror flick, you'd be hard pressed to find one better than this!
I challenge Drayy to a lore-off! Got my essential reading all ready.
