The Shining

1980

★★★★½ Watched

So technically I have already seen this minus the last 15 minutes because my brother who is a coward, backed out of the film in last 15 minutes and said to me "we'll watch it tomorrow" then refused to watch it so I never got around to finishing it until today obviously, the irony is he was the one that's suggested the movie in the first place, brothers 😒

To be a little fair towards my brother (only a little…

Hairspray

1988

★★★★★ Rewatched

Not to be like "the original is better" or whatever but this has a charm that the remake simply lacks and I think a big part of that charm is the cast, namely Ricki Lake, Tracy Turnblad is her role and she has this real spankiness in her portrayal that the other girl doesn't have.

A Nightmare on Elm Street

1984

★★★½ Rewatched

The Lair of the White Worm

1988

★★★★ Watched

An American Werewolf in London

1981

★★★½ Watched

The airplane screen did tell me that this was altered to fit a airplane screen so it's not the exact original so I might have to re-watch it (actually I do but cuz some of it confused me, might be because I been awake since 3:00 a.m. and travelling and had alcohol, doesn't take much to confuse me rn)

I did like the scene where all the victims suggested different ways for him to off himself, that was kind of funny. Very glad that I finally got to take this with my watch list cuz it's been there for a while
