60 of 98 · most liked firstWas Disney's Fox purchase a huge waste of money?. 70 billion dollars and what really do they have to show for it? The purchase gave them an insane amount of debt so they immediately laid off a lot of former fox employees and recently laid off 7000 employees to save them 5 billion. They also haven't done much of anything with the Fox catalog. Most of the new 20th century films were unceremoniously slapped onto Hulu streaming. - Hellraiser 2022 - Prey - New Mutants - No Exit - Barbarian -…

positive · AI labelView post →The VCR had just started picking up steam and a studio exec in testimony to Congress famously called it "the Boston Strangler" for Hollywood. As far as they knew, any means of obtaining the story that wasn't a movie theater was an economic assault.

neutral · AI labelView post →I never knew how much of a clusterf**k the Boston Strangler case was. I watched the movie last night. I knew some of the history but my goodness the BPD were incompetent & misogynistic. 13 women were murdered and they sat on their fingers. Thank goodness the reporters gave them a kick in the arse.

Her career spanned television and film, appearing in projects like The Young and the Restless as Mary Williams and Little House on the Prairie.

neutral · AI labelView post →Tony Curtis does some good acting in THE BOSTON STRANGLER (1968), and might be the record holder for top-billed actor who appears latest in the movie. It's 60 minutes or 52% over before he shows up.
positive · AI labelView post →Haven't watched a lot of movies released this year so far. Of the ones I have, No On Will Save You is easily not just my favorite horror movie of the year, but favorite over all. Also really enjoyed Knock At The Cabin. If you want to count Boston Strangler and Wrath Of Becky, those were good too.
positive · AI labelView post →my GOD the all timers here, History of Occult is SO good, CrimeWave is a frankly underappreciated gem, Boston Strangler just an great film, the Swimmer I feel like has been growing in estimation so much, They Look Like People is the best elevated horror movie before that was a thing, Miracle Mile!

positive · AI labelView post →Spooptober movie list thread! #1: Boston Strangler. My family actually lived near here at this time, my mother was down the street from one of the murders. At one point in the movie they interrogate a suspect in an apartment complex I used to walk by when I visited my grandmother. So that's weird.

Like Frank in ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST, I'd like to see him be the villain. Or revealed as in the last act!

neutral · AI labelView post →The Strangler (1964) is pretty underrated, imho! Bit of a campy torn-from-the-headlines true crime film loosely based off of The Boston Strangler case staring awesome veteran character actor Victor Buono. Pretty fun flick in my opinion!
neutral · AI labelView post →When I was little, if my parents couldn't find a babysitter, they'd drag me along to the drive in. I'd usually fall asleep before the main attraction started, but I have one really traumatic memory of waking to see Tony Curtis strangle a woman: Richard Fletcher's 1968 film,The Boston Strangler.

positive · AI labelView post →Some of my favourite books/movies are about murderers or tragic figures. "So happy childhood, happy teens, happy now" books/movies bore me. Another excellent old movie is The Boston Strangler (Tony Curtis, Henry Fonda, George Kennedy + others) Disturbing but superb.
positive · AI labelView post →this extremely goofy AbuDeka installment is about 25% better than the "real movie" i watched on the plane (BOSTON STRANGLER was ok enough i guess, i watched the whole thing, and AbuDeka would def benefit from a supporting turn from Carrie Coon)
neutral · AI labelView post →I also watched BOSTON STRANGLER on the plane, which was a good movie combining my twin loves of murder and journalism. I don’t know if this was a real movie or a Netflick or a Hulu or what. I used to know stuff like that, but not anymore.
positive · AI labelView post →Boston Strangler movie on Hulu. Really enjoying it until about the 1:14 mark when there is the worst attempt at noir photography. 👎👎Actually moved my head to try to see around the back of Keira Knightley's head.
negative · AI labelView post →Watching the Boston Strangler movie and thinking about Loretta McLaughlin and Jean Cole and how women have fought for equal rights over the years.
neutral · AI labelView post →Saw this movie. Love Martin in all his roles. However to be honest this movie was very creepy. With all the horrors of history, The Boston Strangler, The Zodiac Killer, Charles Manson and Son of Sam this movie A is for Acid is one of the worst! Not the movie or acting, the subject matter…..

neutral · AI labelView post →Watching The Boston Strangler (2023) Keira Knightly has moved comfortably into these kind of professional woman quietly bossing it roles, which she's good at but does not afford her the opportunity to wear anything vaguely interesting (this is a very drab looking film) which is a loss I think

neutral · AI labelView post →275. The Boston Strangler (film): a fascinating, formally bold look at trying to understand & catch a killer in a compartmentalized way, a strong evolution of Fleischer’s Follow Me Quietly. Respectful true crime stuff that dispels prejudices and argues *everyone* is weird & a viable killer. 8-9/10
positive · AI labelView post →Every time I watch a feature film in 2026. No. 212, “The Boston Strangler” (1968) tonight on Talking Pictures TV. www.imdb.com/title/tt0062755/ #MyMovies2026 #TheBostonStrangler ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
