June 17 1987 was the premiere of Full Metal Jacket.
Stanley Kubrick’s Vietnam saga asks what’s worse, a sadistic boot camp or snipers shooting at you in combat? Tough choice. Part horror film (Vincent D’Onofrio became a cool psychotic), this can be one cold, cruel film to endure.

May 28 1976 was the premiere of The Man Who Fell To Earth.
Nicolas Roeg's sci fi classic blew me away when I saw it on a large screen cinema; Roeg's cinematography is always captivating. Good vehicle for David Bowie as the alien Newton, fine support by Candy Clark and Buck Henry

Happy birthday to Alan Silvestri, one of my favorite film composers, particularly of horror and fantasy. He composes amazing horror scores: the loud and jolting Predator 2, the eerie What Lies Beneath, the sweeping Van Helsing. And I love his whimsical score for The Polar Express

March 17 1960 was the premiere of Breathless. Ou oui! Jean-Luc Godard made a classic with his tale of Michel, the young criminal who models himself after Humphrey Bogart; it made a star out of Jean-Paul Belmondo. Godard's most conventional film is still innovative and great fun

March 2 1933 was the premiere of King Kong, a movie that enchanted and terrified me as a little kid. Remakes have had bigger budgets and much better special effects, but to me watching Kong take a liking to Fay Wray and deciding he's tired of being a Broadway star is captivating.

Feb. 14 1991 was the premiere of The Silence Of The Lambs. Jonathan Demme’s brilliantly scary and haunting story of Dr. Hannibal Lecter was a horror tour de force, boosted by superb performances by Anthony Hopkins and Jodi Foster. Her final walk in the dark house is terrifying.

Jan. 17 1979 was the premiere of Nosferatu The Vampyre, Werner Herzog's gorgeous remake of the silent horror classic. Beautifully stylized, this is one of the best looking horror movies, and the most charming. Great performances by Klaus Kinski, Isabelle Adjani and Roland Topor.

Aug. 21 1942 was the premiere of Bambi, Walt Disney's remarkable film about the life of a white-tailed deer. The film took a startling frank look at death, exploring the trauma of Bambi's mother being shot and the horrors of a fire blazing through the forest. Beautifully made.

On June 8 1949, George Orwell's novel 1984 was published, giving us the all-seeing leader Big Brother, who became a symbol for intrusive government where all citizens are watched constantly. The book inspired a movie with Richard Burton and David Bowie's rock opera Diamond Dogs.
