The Day It Came to Earth (1977)

In Jeymes Samuel's history-infused, neo-spaghetti western, Black women are center stage with a fresh hip hop mixtape keeping rhythm in the backdrop.

Darren Aronofsky’s Caught Stealing is a gritty, darkly funny thrill ride through 1998 New York, with Austin Butler delivering a raw, magnetic turn as Hank Thompson—a washed-up ex-ballplayer turned bartender whose life implodes after cat-sitting for his punk neighbor drags him into a violent underworld of gangsters, crooked cops, and chaos. Brutal yet unexpectedly hilarious, the film blends noir grit with midnight-movie absurdity, proving Aronofsky can reinvent himself while Butler cements his status as a true movie star.

Despite the film’s efforts to reframe its heroine with modern complexity, a certain emotional distance lingers.

Greta Garbo, a queer actress playing a real-life queer Queen is the best of both worlds.

I like discovering something new among the old and Tubi has an assortment of horror films from cinema's past for just such an occasion.
