Glad someone mentioned Adaptation. I'm Thinking of Ending Things is my favourite Kaufman film though, and deeply unsettling. Also, so happy to see Obsession on the list. If the Academy weren't so sniffy about 'horror' movies, they would have been falling over themselves to award Isabelle Adjani an Oscar. The poor woman looked as though she'd been put through a wringer! An incredible film. Great list!

Wish these were numbered so I could just rattle off the numbers, but many I appreciate. Also, Adaptation.

Your wish is my command! I've switched it to a numbered list. And yes, Adaptation. I've not seen it for years.

I love that you’ve seen The Skin I Live In. Hardly anyone I know has seen that one. I feel a rewatch coming on!

Yes! It’s been ages. I’d forgotten about that film and you jogged my memory. Love me some Antonio Banderas!

Hi Susan, only a few:

Black Mirror (from 2011) - Don't watch before bed. 😱

The Truman Show (1998) - Love it!

Bladerunner (both!) - First one was better.

Memento (2000) - after watching a few times, I had the DVD and watched the movie in order. 🤣

Total Recall (1990) - the remake was awful, leave "good enough" alone.

Yes! The remake of Total Recall, I tried to watch it but lasted about 20 minutes. And I'm impressed about your Memento adventure.

It’s really interesting if you watch it that way. Even though you know what’s happening. Certain things make more sense. Give it a try. 😉
