Peter Weir's survivor drama ‘Fearless’ was too much for audiences when it was released on this day in 1993, but it stands as one of his (and Jeff Bridges's) towering achievements. crookedmarquee.com/in-peter-wei...

Fucking love this movie. Especially the scene where Jonathan Pryce damn near kills Jason Robards by talking at him.

Just in time for spooky season (and incredibly late by any other standard) here are my top ten horror films of 2024: movie-pundit.medium.com/top-ten-horr...

Better late than never? This was an extraordinary year in horror. (And a particularly great year for women horror directors.) And don’t…

The real tragedy of THE GODFATHER is that Vito believes in America just as much as Bonasero does. That’s why he thinks it’s not only possible for Michael to be a senator, but that it would be a *good* thing for Michael to be a senator. #FilmSky

Final scene between Vito and Michael gets me every time. #TheGodfather #FilmSky

David Dylan Thomas @daviddylanthomas.bsky.social · 3d

I feel like THE GODFATHER, from Kay’s perspective, is a goddam horror film. #FilmSky #HorrorSky
