The Silence of the Lambs - Movies don't get much better than this. It's a masterpiece. I've seen this several times over the years but I noticed a little detail that I had never noticed before: during the scene where Buffalo Bill is doing his infamous dance, I had always assumed he was wearing a wig - he's actually wearing a woman's scalp with the hair still attached!

I laughed at the 90210 look when I first saw it, but it won me over, and now I find myself nodding sagely. "Yes, yes, good point. Valid." Problematizing Heinlein would be a good romcom. Working up to BLACK BOOK.

Delirium (1979) Prime example of a movie that SHOULD be remade as the story outshines the low budget and filmmaking.
Streetwalking (1985) was nice to see some realistic '80s street fashion in this tale of a young street walker and her maniac pimp.

Captains of the Clouds (Michael Curtiz, 1942). Cagney's a bush pilot, and a dick, but the Warner blu-ray does the Technicolor up right, the way propaganda oughta look. The Canadian locations are, well, Canadian. Billy Bishop cameo, Churchill on the box, and Byron Haskin & Rex Wimpy effects. A+

The Bloodstained Lawn:

The fuck was that?!
A wealthy couple is draining the blood of hippies in their basement and selling it to the highest bidders overseas. Simple enough really but the execution! It's frequently so boring youll want to top yourself but just as you're preparing the noose it perks up for some groovy 70s naked dancing and fun- Frightened Woman an influence? Maybe I can't be bothered to check release dates. If so the influence never lasts as it quickly switches back to being unbearably boring. It's all over the shop. Occasionally it feels like moneys been spent on it and then goes to looking completely threadbare. It's just very strange all round.

I definitely cannot argue what your saying about Arnold, but I think the novelty of seeing Arnold play James Bond makes up for the fact that its absurd. There is comedy in seeing Arnold playing that role and delivering those lines. Fans of Arnold will enjoy his larger than life persona doing things that only make sense in the Arnie-verse. In a vacuum and with no context TRUE LIES doesn't work, but as an Arnold Schwarzenegger flick, its a fun ride. Every Arnold film is a fantasy film so why not let him play a secret agent, Chicago mobster or a deep cover FBI agent.
also prime tia carrere and a milfy jamie lee curtis doing striptease... what's not to like?

Seconded, SLASH/BACK was a hit here. Anyone who enjoyed ATTACK THE BLOCK, or BLOOD QUANTUM, Jeff Barnaby's zombie movie should check it out. RIP, Mr Barnaby.
It's such a nice, low key, cynicism-free kinda 'cool little movie', I feel the need to champion it.
Oddly, 'Attack The Block' didn't occur to me as a comparison for some reason, but, yeah... clearly they have a lot in common.
