Just a prime slice of well-crafted undemanding romcom goodness that is elevated by an absolutely top notch cast.

Video Nasties: Moral Panic, Censorship & Videotape 2010
It's staggering to think this actually happened, let alone happened in the reletively recent past. Every time i watch this documentatry I get a bit angry.

Knives Out 2019
Enjoyed it even more a second time round. The cast is uniformly fantastic, the script razor-sharp and witty and the whole thing is just rollicking good fun.

Late Night with the Devil 2023
At last - a found footage film that does something different! 70s late night talk show, demonic possession (or is it), batshit crazy ending, presented in 4:3 ratio. Had a goofy grin on my face for the whole thing. Absolutely splendid.

Palm Springs 2020
There's been lots of praise heaped on Palm Springs but I just don't get it. It's only sporadically funny, for the most part it doesn't do much new with the Groundhog Day set-up except chuck a load of sex jokes in, and the attempts to discuss morality and the like just feel a bit heavy handed.
On the plus side there's great chemistry between Andy Samberg and Cristin Milioti and it's only 90 minutes long.

Date Night 2010
Undemanding comedic fun as an exhausted married couple end up in a series of escalating scrapes on a night out in Manhatten. Date Night is really helped along by a top notch cast, a tightly structured story and brisk running time. Most enjoyable.

Argylle 2024
It's big, it's loud but most importantly it's really, really stupid. The first half is stupid, and the second half is even more stupid than that. It's far too long (but this was helped by watching it in an amazing 102 year old cinema that still puts an interval in every film) and I had a really fun time with it.

A Nightmare on Elm Street Part 2: Freddy's Revenge 1985
Fully appreciate there are some mega fans of this out there but didn't always hit the spot for me. Still plenty to enjoy but a pale imitation of the original.

Street Trash 1987
I think I have seen Street Trash about 400 times.
Melting tramps, exploding tramps, necrophilia, a gay dog, penis violence, it really does have something for everyone.
