It Always Rains on Sunday (1947): A peerless portrait of East End life after WW2. Makes you wish there was a similar documention of working class life from all areas and eras. Mise–en–scène, acting, direction, and camera work are beautiful.
Bait (2019): Give Cornwall back to the Cornish!rnI liked it so much I adopted it and I’m a right tight bast*d.
Bacurau (2019): adventure tourism with a side order of cruel local politics. Gritty as all hell. The side of South America The gap year scum don’t see
Gate of Hell (Jigokumon) (1953): Fabulous. Makes you wish there were more of Teinosuke Kinugasa's considerable ouevre still extant. A treasure
Branded to Kill (Koroshi no rakuin) (1967): Superb! Not a wasted moment. Gangster bliss
Tokyo Drifter (1966)
Gun Crazy (1948): fascinating stuff
Ascent of Man, The (TV Series) (1973): fascinating stuff
