No reasons required, though they are of course welcome.
Major Grom: Plague Doctor (2021) Jiu Jitsu (2020) Pather Pachali (1955) The Bad Seed (1956) Kajillionaire (2020) In Fabric (2018) Drugstore Cowboy (1989)

On first look, the only film I recognized and have seen was Drugstore Cowboy. After reviewing the titles though, I remembered reading about Pather Pachali and the Bad Seed. I'm drawn to films from the midcentury, so I'd probably go for a double feature showing both of those films. If I had to choose one, I probably pick Pather Pachali, it seems a bit more influential and interesting to me.

The Bad Seed is actually a personal favorite of mine, I can certainly watch that anytime.

I've seen one film by the director of Pather Pachali, Satyajit Ray. My impression is that he's amazing. The Big City (1963) is his other film I saw and it was just incredible, in my opinion.
I really like old Japanese movies. The Big City was like watching some of the very best black and white Kenji Mizoguchi, except Indian. I've been circling around Pather Pachali for a month, waiting to be in the right mood to take it in because it looks like serious business.
Tonight's the night then. Cheers!

I’d never heard of Major Grom: Plague Doctor before, but of these options that seems the most up my alley. Plot synopsis kind of reminds me of mystery writer Paul Halter’s The Seventh Hypothesis (also about a murderer going around in a plague-doctor outfit), which like all Halter books I’ve read is better in concept than in execution.

The Bad Seed. I'm rather unfamiliar with the other titles.
