    Working a 4 'til midnight shift for the whole of April so a bit all over the place at the minute, but here are a few to start with until I think of more:

    The Red Shoes (1948)
    Vertigo (1958)
    Get Carter (1971)
    Blazing Saddles (1974)
    Spirited Away (2001)

    Feels like it, doesn't it? I've got the Director's Cut on DVD, but will stick with the original (the video of which is lurking in a cupboard somewhere) for sentimental reasons.

    Good to see some late '60s/early '70 British horror films here, such as Quatermass and the Pit, The Devil Rides Out and the Wicker Man. One of my favourites from this period is Witchfinder General and from the '50s, Night of the Demon.

    My mate, who was a lighting cameraman (named on credits too) at Thames TV always reckoned this was an unrecognised masterpiece, I like it but I'm not sure about masterpiece.
