Films to See

Here's a watchlist of some films I think more people should see and why. I've tried to pick out films that you might not have seen and that I think more people should! Check out my thoughts on these, and other, films on Letterboxd

Boiling Point

Shot in one continuous take that captures a story, and your attention, in real-time.

Your Name.

Captivating visuals in every frame, presenting us with urban landscapes and rural Japan.

I had to include something by Satoshi Kon as he is one of those directors with a truly stand out style.

Films that stand out in the way the were made, filmed or otherwise how the present themselves

The Apartment

I'll warn that this also has its unfun moments, but the great writing brings plenty of laughs too.

Safety Last!

My favourite silent era movie with some incredible practical stunts.

From the 1920s to the 2020s, this is a brilliant blend of classic slapstick and modern elements.

Vivarium

Experience a slow decent in this unsettling, suburban world.

Lights Out

Head to YouTube for a tense 3 minutes. I challenge you to watch alone and in the dark, if you're up to it...
