Episodes
In our first episode for this year's Spooktober season, Hal has gone with the famous British Folk Horror cult classic The Wicker Man, a first-time watch for us both!
The film's plot centres on the visit of a police officer, Sergeant Neil Howie (Edward Woodward), to the fictional, isolated Scottish island of Summerisle in search of a missing girl. What will he discover there?
Director: Robin Hardy
For Hal's latest selection, we have watched the highly rated 1957 Ingmar Bergman road movie Wild Strawberries, starring Victor Sjostrom as Dr Borg, an elderly emotionally-distant professor, who travels to Lund University with his daughter-in-law (Ingrid Thulin) to receive an honorary degree.
The trip forces him to re-examine past choices and his future.
Director: Ingmar Bergman
Izzy has gone highbrow this week and has selected the much-acclaimed 1959 French New Wave Romantic Drama Hiroshima Mon Amour (1959).
A French actress (Emmanuelle Riva) talks to her lover (Eiji Okada), a Japanese architect, about their past and shares her perspectives on the Hiroshima bombing before separating from him.
Director: Alain Resnais
Hal has gone big this week and has selected what he deems his favourite film of all-time, with the next movie from our Hitchcock marathon, the haunting and intensely psychological Vertigo (1958).
A former San Francisco police detective (James Stewart) juggles wrestling with his personal demons and becoming obsessed with the hauntingly beautiful woman (Kim Novak) he has been hired to trail, who may be deeply disturbed.

Izzy has selected another classic this week with Sophie's Choice, the 1982 psychological drama based on the novel of the same name by William Styron. Meryl Streep stars as Zofia "Sophie" Zawistowska, a Polish immigrant who moves to America with a dark secret from her past, who shares a boarding house in Brooklyn with her tempestuous lover Nathan (Kevin Kline in his feature-film debut), and young writer Stingo (Peter MacNicol). ...
Izzy's latest choice is the iconic 1961 romantic comedy Breakfast at Tiffany's which saw Audrey Hepburn deliver a career-defining performance as the eccentric and unpredictable socialite Holly Golightly, who is determined to make it big and marry a wealthy husband. But when young writer Paul Varjak (George Peppard) moves into her apartment building, her past threatens to get in their way.
Director: Blake Edwards
