Roger Corman recommended Paths of Glory (1957) in Movies (curated)

 
Paths of Glory (1957)
Paths of Glory (1957)
1957 | Classics, Drama, War

"Pick one Kubrick—tough. Pick one of Kubrick’s films about war—still tough. But there is a unique quality of Paths of Glory that speaks not only about the power of war films as antiwar vehicles but also about the issue of war in general. That despite how much the methods men use to murder, maim, and mutilate have changed over the years, the truth of man’s inhumanity to man has been a sick constant, that barbed wire and bureaucracy are equal methods to delay and destroy, and that giving a face to the mounting numbers is as important now as it was in the past."

Terror Waits For You In Every Room
The House That Dripped Blood- is a excellent horror anthology film. Each story is linked by this eponymous spooky creepy terrorfying building that this inspector is trying to slove a mystery and gets told by the estate agent about the pervious owners.

The plot: A Scotland Yard inspector is treated to a quartet of horror stories while investigating a murder at a countryside estate.

Like i said each story is really good. From split personality story to a wax story to a voodoo story to a vampire story. All really good.

Highly recordmend watching it.

Both Emily Browning and Elizabeth Banks are excellent in this film.

A good horror film.
  
Game Night (2018)
Game Night (2018)
2018 | Comedy, Mystery
A group of friends who meet regularly for game nights find themselves trying to solve a murder mystery.

As Unlimited Screenings go this is a good one. It's always refreshing when a comedy is more than just the laughs in its trailer. Everyone was laughing, it was a real crowd pleaser.

Both Bateman and McAdams are winners in films of theirs that I've seen, and they make the perfect couple that you love, but at the same time hate just a little bit because they're soooooo perfect.

A solid film to round the month off with, I don't think anyone could go to this and not laugh at something.
