Hélène (Patricia Owens) screaming as she sees how her husband André (David Heddison) has been transformed into a part-fly creature, from the point of view of André now that he has fly-like compound eyes.
- The Fly (1958)
- Watched in the #MonsterdonDoubleFeature watch party on Mastodon.

Notice the guy walking crouched on the left side, suspicious AF, and the other character sitting on the stairs to the other side. They're small in the frame, but give it a lot of tension. Everything about it screams dark comedy.
In English: No Other Choice.

The condemned men are served food through a hatch in their cell door, in David Chiang's directorial début, about helping an unjustly imprisoned man on death row get vengeance.

The whole Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend musical number is a feast of light, dark and colour... but also of young, scantily-clad, bound women being used as candelabras, lamp posts, and chandeliers. Something was definitely up with these guys! (I presume it was guys responsible for this idea.)
Marilyn Monroe in the spolight, wearing a pink dress & gloves, hands raised, her arms & neck festooned with diamond jewelry. Many men in tuxedos behind her watching her. Two women in skimpy black outfits posed like candelabras.
A black chandelier against a red background. The chandelier includes 6 young smiling women in skimpy black outfits, who look as though they are tied into it.
Watched last year in the #Comedon watch party on Mastodon.

Stand back, professionals at work.
The water effect wasn't enough (water=rebirth, the subsequent shots of the water surrounding the platform, and the birth of a replicant, and the splash of water), the light shifted through the shot, recalling the theme of right-to-left moving lights throughout both movies, moving at the same pace, no less.
The color tones, and the architecture of the replicant creators' lairs match. 2049 was, of course, a love letter to the original. And, it's one of my favorite movies, in spite of featuring Jered Leto.

This is an iconic shot in Spanish genre cinema, but I don't see many Spanish movies here, so maybe it's rare enough for you guys.
The movie title translates to The Day of the Beast, great Christmas horror-comedy I do recommend. Keep in mind that it can get really dark and grim.

Cinematographer: James Wong Howe.
The office of "James Reavis de Peralta" (Vincent Price), his shadow falling on a large map of Arizona, most of which Reavis is taking over through a long con involving forged Spanish land grants. Based on a true story.

After a mind-bending & gut-busting battle in a windmill with evil mini versions of himself, Ash (Bruce Campbell) runs out into the night as another evil version emerges from his own body as a second head.

"The brute" (Jean Reno), looks down into a manhole where "the man" (Pierre Jolivet) has escaped the brute's attack in post-apocalyptic Le dernier combat (The Last Battle) (1983), Besson's feature film début & Reno's first prominent role.
Working my way through Cinéma du Look.
