101 Films You Should Have Seen... Probably

This week we discuss the Spike Lee classic Do The Right Thing and get horribly side-tracked by The Muppets and Last of the Summer Wine. So business as usual then. Music credit: Gaslamp Funworks by Kevin MacLeod CC BY 3.0.

Lewis and Ian treat themselves to some Gallic whimsy this week with The Triplets of Belleville. Music credit: Gaslamp Funworks by Kevin MacLeod CC BY 3.0.

Join us in Ian’s ‘Special Dungeon’ as we celebrate Halloween with a classic Hollywood creature feature: a double bill of Frankenstein and Bride of Frankenstein. Music credit: Gaslamp Funworks by Kevin MacLeod CC BY 3.0.

As it’s almost Halloween, now seems the perfect time to review the creepy Swedish vampire movie Let The Right One In. Join Lewis and Ian as they discuss the film’s beautiful ‘cinema tography’, Anthea Turner’s unexpected cameo and the surprisingly horrific ending to Ghost.

This week we get all misty eyed about the excellent Powell and Pressburger film A Matter of Life and Death (or Stairway to Heaven as it was called in the US). Join us as we heap praise on the mysterious force that is David Niven, get all confused about the curious Naked Goat Boy and pine for our very own attic-based camera obscura.

This week Lewis and Ian are enthralled by possibly the world’s slowest paced thriller, 2005’s Hidden. The 101 boys wax lyrical about the way the director Michael Haneke builds a creeping sense of unease through the use of long, lingering takes, the great performances by Daniel Auteuil and Juliette Binoche and how cruel the aging process is when you compare what Annie Girardot looked like in the film to her photo on IMDB. Yep, the usual nonsense. Music credit: Gaslamp Funworks by Kevin MacLeod CC BY 3.0.

This week Lewis and Ian delve into the wonderful world of serious 1970s science fiction with Silent Running. Plus there’s another Surprise Sponsor of the week that should please the fellas at http://www.crashandburnmoviepodcast.co.uk (note the lack of a WordPress address, classy).
