Have we got a general movies thread?
Anyone else into exploiatation/grindhouse/bad old horrors/etc?
Yes. A thread for recommendations would be good. Especially with all the different platforms.
I really enjoyed It Follows when it came out. Might have to watch it again.

Repo Man… what a film.
“The life of a repo man is always intense”
“I gotta get my car out of this bad area”
“There’s room to move as a fry cook”
“John Wayne was a fag”
“Not my face!”
I could go on

Moviedrome with Alex Cox on BBC2 got me on to so many weird and wonderful films, including that, obviously. He’s brilliant.

Also it’s a bit newer but Ex Machina was brilliant. Same director has a new one “Men” coming out shortly.

Running Man, with AAAAHNOLD, is pretty cool.
Verhoven’s stuff is obvious but great. Big budget, but lo fi. Robocop, Total Recall, even Starship Troopers.

That might need a re-read of the brief feller 
The first film I saw as a kid that really goy me into film, for lot’s of reasons that I didn’t have the language to express back then. Also oddly enough, another film worth seeing in the original release, before Lucas did his CGI re-dressing release in the 90’s.

A style masterpiece and quite bonkers
same experience - in the late 70’s i saw maybe 30 minutes of THX-1138 in passing, it was one of those sunday afternoon mid-day KPTV movies, just filling time.
and spent a LONG time trying to explain what i saw to anyone who’d listen. a lot of adults probably had to listen to my 7-year-old fascinated ramblings of faceless robot police and bald people running in empty space. years later, i finally figured out what it was, rented it on VHS and watched it three times in a row. didn’t even know it was star-wars related at the time, i hadn’t gotten into “credits” yet.
I see AAAAHNOLD, I post AAAAHNOLD, them’s the rules
