Given the strange state that film criticism is in, it can be increasingly challenging to find good recommendations on what to watch. Steaming services are often not curated, and so it can be hard to distinguish between what is truly great and what is simply recommended by an algorithmic formula.

It’s particularly funny to see Guinness playing a comic oaf in The Lavender Hill Mob, as he would become better known for his more serious work later on in his career.

3 ‘Don’t Look Now’ Directed by Nicolas Roeg Don’t Look Now is one of the most terrifying films ever made about guilt, loss, and dread, as it at its heart is a family drama about recovering from tragedy. While this subgenre of “elevated” horror has been popularized in recent years thanks to the appeal of A24 horror films like Hereditary and The Killing of a Sacred Deer, Nicolas Roeg created the trend with one of the most horrific opening sequences within the history of the genre.
