Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984) - 8/10

Adjusted the scores on a few of those ;-)

The Lost Boys (1987) - 0/10... just for the dayglo Saxophone scene alone

Rear Window (1954) - 10/10... an audacious masterpiece of suspense and filmmaking artistry

Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) / Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984) - a billion out of/10... films don't get no better than this

The Shining (1980) - 6/10... yes for the european cut but 9/10 for the longer US cut

Rest of the scores are more or less bang on. Impressive viewing, I went through a phase of watching a critically lauded old classic I hadn't seen everyday. Great way to discover things... and some overated tosh too lol

I picked up the European cut of The Shining on HD DVD since it was cheap to get. (And region free.) Interesting to see what Kubrick shortened or totally deleted, but the U.S. cut is what I'm used to.

The theories people come with about what the movie means get stranger and stranger!
