A solid kaiju classic that boasts a generally strong story with good themes, likeable protagonists, entertaining villains, and a skilful blend of serious and camp. Mothra's futile self-sacrificial battle against Godzilla is as tragic as it is hilarious.

The Oppermans. Lion Feuchtwanger, 1933
Persephone bk 136
A story about a Jewish family in Berlin as Hitler rises to power. Scary, because so many of the events and attitudes are playing out in modern day Britain and America
Should be required reading in all schools

Another sci-fi film about humanity coming together to fight an alien threat. Unfortunately, in spite of gorgeous model work, this one falls flat thanks to dodgy pacing, batpoop insane science, and the baffling inclusion of a giant walrus... for all of 5 seconds.

The Cabinet of Dr Caligari (1920)
Very interesting visually, but not as watchable as Der Golem.

Following (1998)
Christopher Nolan's first film. A wannabe writer starts following random people for "inspiration". His naivety sees him sucked into a voyeuristic criminal scheme that doesn't end well.
Student film vibes, but pretty good.

Drunken Master (1978)
Classic Jackie Chan Kung Fu comedy.
I laughed a lot. Not necessarily because of the jokes...
Ne'er do well is sent to learn the secret of the '7 drunken gods' fighting style. Based on a folk story

The Key. Junichiro Tanizaki, 1961.
The blurb compares it to Lady Chatterley's Lover, and I suppose being embarrassing and voyeuristic, & featuring a married couple who REALLY need a chat about needs & boundaries, it kinda is.
