Our second Christmas movie today, as in a movie for Christmas rather than set at, was my all time favourite Christie movie, Murder on the Orient Express (1974). It just cannot be beat. Yes, I prefer Ustinov as Poirot over Finney, but for sheer pacing, script and the wonderful trainyard shots it just cannot be bettered. Add in a genuine all-star cast, and it’s movie heaven.

Today’s new film was Burnt Offerings, starring Oliver Reed and Bette Davis who played Bette Davis superbly. Creepy old house, but a totally different take on a creepy old house. If you love the song Hotel California, you’ll love this.

Wow! First time ever seeing The Hunger (1983), telling the story of a vampire like woman’s endless lie. Bowie’s alieness worked marvellously, whereas Deneuve’s total detachment and lack of emotion said more in a single look that 10 pages of script, with Tony Scott visual flair, and purposeful soundtrack. A rare film that makes Sarandon look ordinary. Magnificent.

Now I feel old - From Dusk Till Dawn is 26 years old! Watched it for the first time in a while as we managed to get a UK import on bluray. The mid-film twist never gets old.
