Speaking of all time faves…
Nightmare on Elm Street. Watched again last night for the first time in years. Still excellent.

First time I watched it as a kid, I’ve never been so scared by anything in my life.
Brilliant premise.

I think I was the same, mate. Remember being terrified of Freddy.

It's very rarely shown on TV - because it's absolutely horrifying. It's on BBC 4 tonight. 10:00pm I think.
40 years on - it's a timely reminder of how [Poor language removed] the world would be in the event of an Atomic attack. Grim but incredible film-making.
All these global leader dickheads who are "proud" of their nuclear arsenals should be forced to watch this with Clockwork Orange-style headsets.

Yeah. It's hardcore. It's definitely a mental scar. I feel that people - particularly these current tw@theads in power - are simply ignorant of the devastating price of using these weapons, let along casually threatening other nations with them. Sagan's research on "nuclear winter" is sickening stuff, and this was the first filmed depiction of it.
Joker Folie a Deux. Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga are each extraordinary. Not a feel good show, but compelling and goes pretty deep.
Funny because everyone else says it's [Poor language removed] wank

Accidentally put it on about half hour in, turned straight off as I don’t fancy bad dreams for the next week! That movie should carry a mental health warning.
Remember watching Threads in the 80’s. Was proper traumatised by it.

It's a bit odd watching it so many years later. It's lost a fair bit of it's punch. Maybe I've gotten older and more cynical and apathetic. I was glad when the snot nosed little skid mark copped his early doors. I found so many rather annoying.
There was '28 days later', and both 'the killing fields' and 'the terminator' but they were both released the same year in 1984 with 'threads'. We've had so many end of civilisation films in one shape or form, and the hysteria of the Cuban missile crisis as back drop, 'war of the worlds', 'children of men', 'the road', 'snowpiercer', I saw the rats part in this and thought of 'demolition man'. Didn't quite stretch into the realms of 'Mad Max' but could see how it could.
Strangely getting ideas of how the ideal of 'animal farm' gets twisted and turns nightmare.
The pics clearly not from britain were telling, I think they were lifted from real life (real aftermath) probably from Japan. Explosion, heat, fallout, disease, starvation, has actually been done, it's happened, vermin and virus and darkness followed and a shuttling back in time to pain and suffering and toil actually was inflicted.
It's different viewing now after* the cold war and the end of soviet strangulation. Though the timing is a worry with the weaponry threats escalating in the middle east.
Might throw 'the green mile' on to lift my spirits and carry me off to sleep in a happy daze.
