Freaks [1932]

Freaks
Tod Browning
2/3

According to some random rag I came across this is apparently the first horror movie… And I’m rather impressed. I was bracing for the filmatic ancestor of The Elephant Man, but this is more like a parallell universe Wizard of Oz. Great transfer, too.

Get Out [2017]

Get Out
Jordan Peele

Strong followup in the second outing of the 2020 horrtober season.

Bone Tomahawk [2015]

Well that was confusing. Maybe I should watch it again.

Kids these days!

North by Northwest [1959]

North by Northwest
Alfred Hitchcock
6/6

2:16 and not a minute too long. He is good when he’s good.

Shazam! [2019]

Shazam!
David F. Sandberg
4/6

If only all superhero movies were like this.

God Bless America [2011]

God Bless America

It’s true!

Vertigo [1958]

Vertigo
Alfred Hitchcock
5/6

I was worried that when I finally got to the The Classics™, I’d find that they were the typical popular movies! Thankfully, this was before cinema was killed. Not only that, but Vertigo is bathed in the most glorious celluloid beauty the likes of which we haven’t seen since The Trouble With Harry. See for yourselves:
