And anything else you want to add.. It's a great way to find movies, based on the score, but also on who has seen it.
Private Property - 6/10

The Black Cat
8/10
Lugosi and Karloff make great rivals. I love the setting, somewhere in the old Austrian Hungarian Empire after it fell apart after WW1. Karloff's art deco modernistic home is built on the ruins of an old fortress that he was formerly commander of. Grave stones surround the former fortification. Lots of secret passages and Karloff's twisted desire to preserve his former lovers and sacrifices to his satanic cult make him an excellent bad guy. Lugosi fought at the fort during the war and was captured. While he was captured Karloff married Lugosi's wife and then their daughter(!). David Manners and his new bride are on tour and due to a train company error, end up sharing a car with Lugosi and then due to another accident end up with Lugosi at Karloff's house. All in all an amazing pre-code film that doesn't really have much to do with Edgar Allen Poe's story.

Taste the Blood of Dracula (1970)
Another Hammer studios re-watch, and one which benfitted slightly better during a second view, but somehow I felt it never quite managed to back up the rather interesting beginning, and the final climax were just not all that impressive. However, the usual beautiful ladies, the gothic and atmospheric settings and locations, the villainous performances by Christopher Lee and Ralph Bates are among the main reasons to why I decided to boost it up from a former 5/10 rating, to a more suitable:
6,5/10

Slam Dance (1987) Begins at 7-8 but ends at 4-5 as the story all but collapses into muddle by the end credits. There is a good cast with Tom Hulce in his second movie after "Amadeus" also with Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio, Virginia Madsen, Adam Ant, and Harry Dean Stanton.

Il posto - 7/10
This could have been a better movie, but it lacked focus. Initially, you think it was going to be a romantic movie, and it's when I was most interested. Then she disappears for quite a while, while Olmi shows a lot of scenes that add nothing to the story, usually with characters who never appear again, who's conversations are inane. Like a fart interrupting a nice conversation.

Cry Macho- 7/10
It's pretty far from Eastwood's best work, and his obvious physical frailty is a bit distracting from time to time; but somehow that didn't matter to me. It's a quiet, charming, sincerely human story; and the note it ended on left me with a genuine smile on my face. Who knows if Clint has another movie in him after this, but that last image would be a fine enough goodbye if this is it. And I'll take it over, say, The 15:17 to Paris. That's for damn sure. Then again, I would've taken The Mule as an acceptable exit note after that movie...

I would usually rate it somewhere between 6,5/10 and a 7/10, and surely the best film of Chris Farley, but one of those where I have to be in the right mood, but along with Beverly Hills Ninja, my favorite of his sadly far too short move career.

Dracula: Prince of Darkness (1966)
I still am on a "roll" when it comes to re-watching these classic Hammer studios 60s and early 70s Dracula releases, and this might just be the best of the bunch, at least for now. Love the castle scenes, the pace and indoor scenery, the cast and yeah, I rated it with a 6/10 back in fall of 2013, but it sure is a better and more enjoyable film than that, so I decided to boost it upwards to a 7/10, which means it is for now, my highest rated Dracula sequel (starring Christopher Lee).
7/10

Mamma Roma - 8/10
I love Pasolini's first two feature films (and documentaries) but he lost me after. I don't think I've been able to finish a single one of his movies, and I can't stand most movies about religion, although "Elmer Gantry" is great.

Much better than the 1958 movie in my eyes. The resurrection scene is superbly crafted. The follow-up was great too.

How Awful About Allen (1970)
Predictable Aaron Spelling production with Anthony Perkins on his journey from major star to bargain basement psychopath. I saw this a couple of decades ago and thoroughly hated it. Just checked it out again. Not as bad as I remembered, but an okay time filler on those rainy afternoons when you can't think of anything else to watch. Released on a compilation dvd titled A Taste of Evil; Blood Soaked Cinema that also includes a lot of bloodless garbage like Eegah and Bride of the Gorilla.
Rating? Probably 3/10
