'The Lady Eve' (1941) turns 85!

"...sharp-witted & its themes risqué, though intelligent enough to closely skirt what was permissible in its day without once crossing a line... what was funny then still is today..."

Wes Craven's 'The Serpent & the Rainbow' (1988)

"...supernatural #horror could be explained as hysteria or drug-induced hallucinations. But there’s a darker thread running through it all: a tangible human evil"

'To the Devil a Daughter' (1976) is 50 years old

"Freudian nightmare & sexual tension thrown into the heady mix, along with some straightforward blood & gore ... one of the more transgressive movies to come out of the British mainstream in the 1970s"

Kihachi Okamoto's 'The Sword of Doom' (1966) at 60 years old!

"The finale is one of the most impressive & insanely well-choreographed action sequences in all cinema... breath-taking composition & inventive use of varying focal depths."
