I saw Don't Breathe the other day. It was very tense. Had some stupid moments but I really enjoy these "BE VERY TENSE THE WHOLE TIME" flicks that have been coming out recently like Green Room. I liked it a lot.

Yeah, I also really enjoyed Dont Breathe. The first few minutes had me convinced that I was going to hate it, but they won me back pretty quickly once the movie got going.

So is The Seven Year Itch. They lightened up the story for the big screen since it was made in the 50's. The original play was a lot raunchier.
I've been on an 80's kick myself. I recently rediscovered Buckaroo Bonzai Across the 8th Dimension - man, they don't make movies like that anymore.

Nah, it's boring. Maybe the idea was fresh at the time, but cross dressing humor has been done so many times since in movies that it's no longer particularly funny, and Marilyn puts on her best dumb blonde impression that has not aged well at all. Just because a movie was funny in the 50s doesn't mean we're obligated to find it funny decades after it was actually relevant.
