I've been tagged by the amazing Movieman and his Dancing Image to participate in the 12 Movies Meme or "take indie cinema back from Diablo Cody before it's too late" movement.
My double features are as follows:
Night One: There Will be Menstrual Blood THE DESCENT (2005)
CARRIE (1976)
Night Two: Laughton Among the Natives
ISLAND OF LOST SOULS (1933)
WHITE WOMAN (1933)
Night Three: The Yellow Peril: Analyzing pre-code Asian stereotypes
MASK OF FU MANCHU (1932)DAUGHTER OF THE DRAGON (1931)
Night Four: Gangsters in Love
THE FACE BEHIND THE MASK (1941)
HOLD YOUR MAN (1933)
(The tragedy of the first film gets cheered up by the second)
Night Five: Great Chicks of the Seventies
KLUTE (1971)
AN UNMARRIED WOMAN (1978)
Night Six: The Kids on the DrugsPSYCH-OUT (1968)
OVER THE EDGE (1979)
Welcome to the meme (better late than never). All nights sound intriguing, but I would definitely check out the last, and also probably "Great Chicks of the Seventies": I haven't seen An Unmarried Woman & I love Klute (Pakula's generally underrated I think).
ReplyDeleteI'm considering revisiting the 12 movies meme with a variation inspired by James Hansen at Out 1, who selected L'Amour fou because he hadn't seen it. It'll be 12 movies that you haven't seen & aren't available on Netflix. Rest assured, you will be tagged.
Here are my twelve:
ReplyDeleteI Can't Sleep:
Into the Night (Landis, 85)
Vampire's Kiss (Bierman, 89)
Only the Good Die Young:
Ivansxtc (Rose, 00)
Time to Leave (Ozon, 05)
The Great Wahl:
The Wanderers (Kaufman, 79)
The Soldier (Glickenhause, 82)
Death in the Afternoon:
Miami Blues (Armitage, 90)
After Dark, My Sweet (Foley, 90)
Deez, Doze, Dem:
Laws of Gravity (Gomez, 93)
Last Exit to Brooklyn (Edel, 90)
Rest Area:
Private Road (Platts-Mills, 71)
Radio On (Petit, 79)
Damn, I tried to watch INTO THE NIGHT awhile ago, but those haircuts! I used to love that movie back in the 1980s, but those poofy dos aint aged well.
