Thoughts on Too Late for Tears - a wonderful B-noir about an "unscrupulous" woman (Lizabeth Scott) who finds herself at the centre of a Los Angeles insurance scam. Lots of evocative location shooting and night driving. https://t.co/8MHKXL3DbC

Thoughts on Alone. This was brilliantly terrifying - a serial killer film where all the characters make smart decisions. In spirit, this has to be the best Ted Bundy adaptation I've seen. @jrhyams @jules_willcox @marcmenchaca https://t.co/aDeq5XXgcv

Thoughts on The Woman in the Window, Joe Wright's adaptation of the bestselling 2018 thriller by A.J. Finn. This got terrible reviews, and I can see why, but I thought it was kind of fun - good film to watch during lockdown. https://t.co/OpekSKVxLn

Thoughts on The Man with the Golden Gun - a superb epilogue to Guy Hamilton's first trilogy of Bond films. I kept seeing Bond and Scaramanga as Brydon and Coogan. @RobBrydon https://t.co/Bxm3Qux6QR

Pilot Club #39 is live! Billy's microphone wasn't set right for the first fifteen minutes but after that it's fine (it's still clearly audible). This week we discuss Loki, Physical, Eden and Mr. Show with Bob and David (for Archive Corner). https://t.co/91Lqrqy4zv

Thoughts on Mystic Pizza - one of the most burnished, autumnal and yearning 80s coming-of-age films. I could sink into its textures forever - no other film is quite like it. https://t.co/qyHf9eYBTD

@andrewjtfraser Four of my favourites

[Pilot Club with Billy and Drew @PilotClub3]

Thoughts on Live and Let Die - the endpoint of Guy Hamilton's superb Bond trilogy, which took him through realistic (Goldfinger), hyperreal (Diamonds Are Forever) and now supernatural spaces. One of my favourite Bonds. Agree with @edgarwright on this one! https://t.co/PbM0HoRWzs

[Pilot Club with Billy and Drew @PilotClub3]

@d_kompare Murphy Brown (original run), Just Shoot Me, Designing Women (in Australia at least!)

[Pilot Club with Billy and Drew @PilotClub3]

Thoughts on Niagara. This was absolutely fantastic - a sumptuous Technicolor noir, shot on location at Niagara Falls, which it explores from every conceivable angle. Sublime. https://t.co/RPXHLRCW7c

[Pilot Club with Billy and Drew @PilotClub3]

Thoughts on When the Bough Breaks. This is probably the pinnacle of the thot horror cycle - you feel it straining towards the slightly different horror style ushered in by Get Out, which was released a year later. https://t.co/Y9Eaotonen
