Stir Crazy

1980

★★★★ Added

Another great comedy where the lack of real plot is masked by the charisma and chemistry of the lead actors.

Insomnia

A fantastic back and forth between two behemoth actors.

The Man Who Skied Down Everest

1975

★★★★★ Liked Added

Alongside For All Mankind, this is a documentary that I think everyone should see before they die.

The cinematography by Mitsuji Kanau is simply mind-blowing, there's no other words to describe it. You don't find shots this good in most productions today, let alone lugging camera equipment up the tallest mountain in the world.

It was a feat done out of arrogance, many Sherpas lost their lives in the 1970 Everest Disaster during filming and I can't help but feel…

Falling Down

1993

★★★★★ Liked Added

I must it that when I first saw Falling Down it was because I couldn't find anything else to watch. After 10 minutes I was proven the fool by perhaps the best opening atmosphere in anything I've ever seen. I think I even found myself sweating and writhing in my seat.

Michael Douglas and Robert Duvall give stellar performances opposite each other in what unravels as a tense and complex stand-off. Mired in deep societal issues, the plot is a shining example of how people can become very dangerous at the drop of a hat.
