    The latest Movie of the Month has been decided upon!

    Once again it’s proved that attempting to predict the Movie of the Month winner can be far from reliable as a group of movies including some established classics and topical films instead provides us with a decidedly under-seen flick in the form of… Streets of Fire.…

    The Movie of the Month for June 2016 is…

    The latest Movie of the Month has been decided upon!

    Sometimes it seems timing has a great deal to do with which film wins the Movie of the Month poll. It can be timing for a good reason or, as is the case with June, timing from a far sadder event. Basically, what I’m trying to say is that next month we’ll be talking about… Purple Rain.…

    The Movie of the Month for May 2016 is…

    The latest Movie of the Month has been decided upon!

    Another Movie of the Month poll with a very eclectic mix of films that almost went in many different directions. In the end there were just a handful of votes between the top four movies, but of course there can only be one winner and for the month of May we’ll be talking about… Labyrinth.…

    The Movie of the Month for March 2016 is…

    The latest Movie of the Month has been decided upon!

    February’s still-inexplicable Movie of the Month is behind us, and now we can look ahead to what March will bring. We had a significantly better selection to pick from this time, with choices of The Towering Inferno, Event Horizon, Tony Manero, The Wicker Man, Road to Perdition and The Prestige, but despite being a...

    The Movie of the Month for February 2016 is…

    The latest Movie of the Month has been decided upon!

    For February we had a selection of films that, I’ll be honest, left a lot to be desired. It Follows, The Green Lantern and The Chipmunk Adventure were the choices and, not being a fan of horror, terribly-reviewed superhero films and chipmunks in general, I can’t say I relished the thought of watching any of these films. So, as always, the decision was left up to...

    The Movie of the Month for January 2016 is…

    The latest Movie of the Month has been decided upon!

    It seems there’s something about the first Movie of the Month for each year that requires it to be a little off-book. 2014 saw Jean-Claude Van Damme high-kicking his way through time in Timecop, and in 2015 I still can’t explain what the heck was going on with Southland Tales, so it seems fitting that the winner of prize for 2016 will be going to another film that...

    The Movie of the Month for December 2015 is…

    The latest Movie of the Month has been decided upon!

    There have been many proven methods of winning a Movie of the Month poll. You can email-blast everyone you know to get them to vote for, say, Demolition Man. You can plug away time and again with the same film until the likes of, say, White Men Can’t Jump eventually wins. Or you can wait for a month where yours is the only film put forward, pushing,...

    The Movie of the Month for November 2015 is…

    The latest Movie of the Month has been decided upon!

    Sometimes it takes perseverance to make a film Movie of the Month. This past month we had six films up for the voting, three of which had been put forward multiple times before, and for one of those lucky three it’s now time to discuss it. Jason has put The Babadook forward several times this year so far, Joel has put Body Double forward more times...

    The Movie of the Month for October 2015 is…

    The latest Movie of the Month has been decided upon!

    For the month of October we’re once again embracing the horrific and covering a horror movie for the Movie of the Month. Last year we looked at Audition, so I was immediately wary of whatever would be suggested this time around. Well, for 2015’s horror Movie of the Month there were fifteen – FIFTEEN! – possible choices: Poltergeist, Swamp...
