@victor-meldrew Yeah, letterboxd can be pretty fun/useful, especially if you follow people with similar taste.
It's an NZ company, IIRC.

Groundhog day.
Dead set masterpiece. Five Punxatawney Phil's out of five Bill Murrays.
I haven’t seen it in years…..but from what I remember you may well be right.
no, no, I am right. It's exceptional.

Is there a worse cliche in movies than a kettle whistle while a person is getting bad news? It used to be used for suspense, which was also done 1000x times.
No. The worst cliche is the sergeant shouting "C'mon people, let's go!"

Going through this list:
Film list: Erotic Thrillers Forever
80s - present. Mostly DTV with some major studio content in the mix. All are firmly rooted in the thriller genre, no horror or action leaning titles. Lots of "naked", "passion", "sins", "heat", etc.
How do you watch these? 90s erotic films are the bomb.

@rancid-schnitzel if they have had a recent blu ray release there are a bunch of streaming sites that have them. Only takes a bit of googling.

Absolute Power - Clint Eastwood fucking hated sex demon Bill Clinton years before the Lewinsky scandal broke. Only one of those two went on to take many flights on Epstein's plane, and go to his Island without his secret service detail (see his long time head of staff Doug Band's interview in Vanity Fair).
In the ‘90s, America’s bourgeois critics praised the tepid satire of the thinly-veiled Bill Clinton allegory Primary Colors (1998) while dismissing the atomic truthbombs dropped by the thinly-veiled Bill Clinton allegory Absolute Power (1996).

No. The worst cliche is the sergeant shouting "C'mon people, let's go!"
Nope... that same sgt yelling "watch your six" - and then everybody creeping forward peering forwards for danger.

I once had a screensaver of Bill Clinton playing the blues on his sax. The backing singers were Monica Lewinsky wearing knee-pads, Gennifer Flowers wearing a stained dress.and Paul Jones. It was a doozy.

Or when Sgt Apone from Aliens said ‘they ain’t paying us by the hour!’
But Aliens is awesome so I can’t really point the finger too much.

Red Notice - Dwayne Johnson, Ryan Reynolds, Gal Gadot
I enjoyed it, Reynolds with his usual one liners, Johnson is good value too, Gadot is hot as always.
I'd say it's a bit Indiana Jones and a bit National Treasure.
