Memories of Murder 2003
Well made and acted but the story drags on and it's not hard to lose interest fast when it's a typical bland crime/thriller

Walkabout 1971
Walkabout is a beautiful 70s movie that nicely juxtapositions traditional Australian indigenous living with the white Australian population to highlight the similarities and sad differences between the two.
The start is a bit slow and the set-up a bit dumb, but once you're introduced to the indigenous boy who serves as a guide and beacon of hope for the lost white children it picks up a lot.
For a 70s movie it's interesting how it shows the traditional Australian living… -

Only God Forgives 2013
Another crazy hyper-stylized violence movie from Refn although this time it's more senseless than ever.
It's easy to see why this has mixed reviews after the success and acclaim of Refn's last movie Drive, whilst Drive was glitzy and had a smooth overlay and plot covering its violence, this movie is just straight grime and evil throughout.Features a cool dedication to Alejandro Jodorowsky at the end tho which is a shame when Refn was supposed to direct a movie based upon Jodorowsky's graphic novel The Incal after making this but never did.

Suspiria 1977
Suspiria is a well made horror film that relies more upon the visuals and especially the score/ambient sounds to create a massive amount of suspense which keeps the viewer hooked.
The plot is iffy like most horror movies but man the combination of the amazing set-design, hectic boppy score and background vocals like spooking mfr whispering is something else, this film looks and sounds great which is way more important than a fluid dynamic plot in a horror movie. -
Too Old to Die Young 2019
This features the crazy typical Refn hyper-stylized violence and super confronting themes/scenes in 10x movie length episodes, the cast is good, the acting is mainly pretty good and the cinematography is great which is to be expected from this director.
On the flipside whilst the plot is interesting and keeps you engaged, by the end of it it becomes a bit wish-washy and it almosts becomes a satire show mocking the director's own movies and style of film-making.

The Silence of the Lambs 1991
Good thriller with mild horror elements, not too scary and somewhat comedic this isn't as bad as I thought it'd be.
Keeps you intrigued and features a great performance from the antagonist 'anti-hero'.
