That looks suitably ludicrous to get my attention.

Thanks, Mike. We now have our Christmas Slasher movie sorted for this year....

Can anyone help identify a movie I watched decades ago?
From what I recall it was British, probably 1960s - 1970s, and was a serial killer who strangled women with his ties. There's one scene where he has to climb into a truck and go through potato sacks to locate a victim who has a tie pin which could identify him.
Hitchock's Frenzy (1972) with Barry Foster & Jon Finch. His penultimate film and great fun.

@antipodean Sounds like Frenzy.
Edit: I should have read the thread!
-
@MiketheSnow brilliant with lines like "Time for some seasons beatings" what is not to like!
-
@MN5 There is a documentary that I have been meaning to track down for a few years now

It took me a moment - that's Jim the cop from Stranger Things as Santa. Great stuff

OK so I know that Thor 4 has been looked at before but… I’m a Marvel MCU fan and really like the Thor films, though a little less each time. However, this is the first that I cannot stick and have not seen through. Maybe it improves after the first 20 minutes but by the cringe, it would need to. It seems to me that they’ve looked at all the light hearted bits that worked in Ragnarok and have made a complete dogs arse of a film around that.
0.5 cheeky side eyes to camera out of 5 fucked franchises.

Thats disappointing. I loved 1 and 3, and 2 was solid.

Thor 1 and 2 are two of the worst Marvel films for me. So even though Love and Thunder isn't as good as Ragnarok I enjoyed it.

Probably time to call it a day Clint. Bit of a ho hum, very “nothing” movie in my eyes. Sad to see him looking so frail as well, the lean but strong build is definitely a relic of the past. Pretty far fetched to think the kids HAF Mum would try and seduce him like that ( google tells me there is FIFTY ONE years between the ages of the respective actors ! ) and, yeah everything just kind of ended and that was that !

Well, not as bad as one of his recent previous films where he had a threesome with two young women. Now, movie star Clint could probably pull it off because of fame, but not the character he was playing.

Bottom 5 for me with 2 and Iron Man 2, the Hulk, and something else I can't think of right now.

The Spike Lee version (2013), not the original Korean (2003).
Not a bad version at all, made infinitely better because Elizabeth Olsen gets nekid
