Minari is set in the 1980’s and is about a Korean immigrant family who are attempting to establish themselves as farmers in America. It is an award-winning film that looks at the difficulty of keeping a family together while starting up a business in a rural community. It is based on the film-maker’s memories of his family during this time. Available to watch on streaming.
The Ghost And The Darkness is old-style hokum. It is loosely based on historical facts of two lions who terrorised the building of a railroad through Africa in the 1800’s. Val Kilmer and Michael Douglas star and the title refers to the names the fearful in the area gave their terrifying predators. Available to buy on streaming.

Escape From New York is the iconic John Carpenter film starring Kurt Russell as Snake Plissken, a one-eyed ex-soldier who grunts and insults his way through this adventure. His mission is to save the president from the inhabitants of New York, which is now a high-security prison after the president’s plan crashes there. This is a very moody, cynical early 80’s classic with a killer ending. Go watch. Available to buy/rent on streaming and to buy on Bluray.

Prince Of Darkness is another John Carpenter film but more on the under-rated cult side. Scientists hole up in a LA church after finding an object from pre-history that seems to foretell the end of the world. A moody, people under-siege tale which gets creepier as it goes and has some wonderful and crazy sci-fi ideas. Give it a try. Available to buy/rent on streaming and buy on bluray.
