I’m putting together a list of all the films I want to rewatch this year. My favourites are 80s and 90s ones and I like all genres from horror to chick flicks to action.
Some examples of the ones I love are: Romy & Michelle, The Shining and Flight of the Navigator.
Do you have any suggestions? Thanks

Anything by Mike Leigh.
Meantime (rather bleak but has Tim Roth in it).
This is England (set, rather than produced, in the 8/90s).

There is a Disney film called The Black Hole - scared the living shit out of me even now as it's the only Disney film I know where evisceration takes place with squelch sounds and full face agony.

That fucking robot Maxamillian gave me nightmares for years.
