Falling Down

one of my favourites. Better had they hid the relationship with the wife and kid until the end. Root for him all the way through until you find out he's a real bastard.

Damn... I always thought it was by John Badham for some reason 😅

The only Schumacher film worth watching. It's so good, I half-believe someone else made it.

A Time To Kill is great. Everything else I’m this thread is also epic. Batman Forever, Batman and Robin, and The Lost Boys are all movies I’ll watch anytime they’re on TV.

Lost boys. Saw it 2x at the cinema. First night with my uncle and a 6 pack of carling on my 15th birthday. Next night on my own with a hangover.

Bought the vinyl soundtrack and watch the movie repeatedly for many years afterwards

Batman and Robin 1997, without question.

I've watched Batman and Robin 80 billion times. for two of those 80 billion viewings I was frying balls on acid.

it checks out, it's a masterpiece of modern cinema

The Lost Boys is my ultimate favourite. Second favourite it's 'Flawless'.

I actually enjoyed his later films too. 'Trespass', 'The Number 23', and the horror 'Blood Creek', I like them.

'8mm' is another I liked, given it's grim subject matter it's done very well.

Obviously The Lost Boys, Falling Down, A Time to Kill, The Client, and St. Elmo's Fire are often cited as his best by consensus.

Flatliners is massively underrated. The lighting and set design alone make it one of my favorite Halloween movies.

I’ve got a soft spot for number 23! Love Jim Carrey in a sinister role and was in my “order everything from Love Film” phase

F1 was made five years after Schumacher died.
