Sweet Smell of Success

1957

★★★★ Liked Watched

I would have given 4 and a half stars but I felt so stressed out at the end I ended up with a knot in my stomach so i had to cut my rating down

The Big Sleep

1978

★★★ Liked Rewatched

Only Michael Winner could put Robert Mitchum, James Stewart, John Mills & Oliver Reed into a Raymond Chandler adaptation and make it feel like an ITV daytime drama.

Sailors, Beware!

1927

★★★★ Liked Watched

Ok so really this should be a 3 star film but the way the "kid" throws themself down the pipe is worth an extra star for me

Slipping Wives

1927

★★ Watched

Not really a Laurel & Hardy short, more of a Stan Laurel film that happens to feature Oliver Hardy (clean shaven, I might add). The basis of the plot is recycled in the 1935 short The Fixer Uppers, which frankly is better.
