🎬 #TheWickerMan (1973) Audacious masterpiece. Iconic mise en scene. Hilarious/creepy pub scene. Touchstone of storytelling. Explores science vs superstition, provincial vs federal & theological anxieties. Bleak,scary & still timely. NOT the Nic Cage version. #MacGuffinMovieDrone
🎬 #AmericanPsycho (2000) Brimming with elegant Kubrickian malevolence. Scathing satire of 80s greed, excess & the horrors of Capitalism. Incredible bravura turn from Bale. Laden with pathos. Elegantly shot. Ruminates on materialism, narcissism & misogyny. #MacGuffinMovieDrone
🎬 #SleepyHollow (1999) Riffs on 50s/60s Hammer. Visually sumptuous, surreal production design. Luridly mixes horror, humour & myth. Frenetically paced. Memorable Elfman chords. Reconstructs the gothic with modern sensibilities. A triumph of genre filmmaking #MacGuffinMovieDrone
🎬 #EdwardScissorhands (1990) A delicate & devastating fable. One of Burtons peak moments. Surreal illustrative ingenuity. Story filled with simplicity, complexity, & intangible wizardry. Studies 'artist as an outsider'. Deeply moving. A timeless masterpiece #MacGuffinMovieDrone
