Really like HOTBM. Grows on me with each viewing.
Indeed. Uniquely vile in that stilted 'British' way that Powell shattered the same year. So sadly it will always be the bridesmaid for me ... but taken on its own merits ... tis a sordid wee film. Watch Your Stern it aint

Some of those are pretty obscure, i recently got my mits on non legit copies of Dr Caligari and Eyes of fire,two films i saw years ago and stuck in my brain.
Obviously i don't condone this sort of thing if there is actually a decent release available.( Ahem)
I would recommend Night of death from your list and American Gothic too, both really entertaining i thought.

I went looking for Dr Caligari last night after browsing that list but nothing came up.

Lists should be of things someone owns not just what they've watched on Youtube or Netflix.

They are about the films themselves (arguably the most important part!)

If one sticks to simply watching what they can pick up in their local HMV etc. then they are seriously limiting their viewing sphere. Plus, if I had bought everything that I'd ever seen I would have wasted some serious money in a lot of cases!

Why Him? (2016)

This was better than I expected it to be. I don’t know if I can say it’s good overall, but I just enjoyed it, as it does have more than a few genuine funny moments that I laughed out loud at, and Bryan Cranston and James Franco are both very good in it. It’s a worn out premise with a predictable outcome, but it was just quite well made for the most part. It's a bit of fluff that has a charm and a feel good factor I needed feeling under the weather right now. It cheered me up, so it did its job.

*** out of *****

It does bring to light so many films that have yet to be released on disc though. Which is always a shame.

Indeed. Eyes of Fire is probably one of my most wanted.
