BFI recommends 50 late-night classics

What to watch at witching hour? These 50 cult recommendations offer flesh, fear, violence and subversion.

For a number of reasons, many films just seem suited to being watched late at night. Whether they are gory horror flicks, cult B-movies, sexually explicit dramas or documentaries with adult themes, there’s no hard and fast rule as to what makes a great late-night movie. It’s a safe bet to assume, though, that naked flesh, graphic violence and coarse language are likely to be on the cards in one form or another. Add to that bold shooting styles, unsettling themes and/or brutally frank depictions of confrontational subjects and you’re all set. Here are 50 to watch when the clock has struck midnight.

50 late-night classics | BFI

[The Reaper Man@Cult Labs]

Won't be long until The Crying Game appears.

[bizarre_eye@Cult Labs]

May announcements.

[Demdike@Cult Labs]

Not interested in any of those.

This time last year we had the likes of Penda's Fen and Culloden. on the horizon.

I agree with Dem, BFI isn't very exciting at the moment! Hopefully they're cooking up something good for the summer months. They promised more Flipside! Plus I'm still waiting on the reprint of Privilege to come out, apparently it was 'coming soon'.

I didn't know Privilege was getting a re-release. I nearly ordered that before Christmas, used for £15. Glad i didn't. Hope it ports the same extras.

Scratch that. I meant Permissive.

Never heard of Privilege. Except that it's by Peter Watkins.

[bizarre_eye@Cult Labs]

Yep, add me as another who's not really feeling very excited by BFI's announcements at the moment.

Hopefully plenty more Flipside will be forthcoming this year.
