Movie You're Watching Tonight
Not my kind of thing, but I can’t be bothered to look for anything else.
Great stuff, actually.

Blow Out (1981)
I much prefer the film it was based upon, Antonioni's Blowup (1966), but this one is very watchable. Let us know what you thought of it...

very good and enjoyable film, with good performances. Can't believe it's 40 years old!

Feels quite dated now in terms of direction - so much foreshadowing leading up to
WARNING: spoilers below
Sally’s death that, despite this being noir, I thought for a moment there she might survive.
Loved Travolta, though - perfect for it. The whole thing reminded me vaguely of Berberian Sound Studio. Sound editing gets much less of a giallo treatment in Blow Out, though, to my mind, and I liked that about it.
Will track down the original, thanks for flagging.

Shame I didn’t know it was a remake! I liked it, very De Palma-ish. Remembered Nancy Allen was once his wife, but not which film I know her from, I’d call that sad.

I have a hunch you'll like Blowup. Antonioni composes a moody almost existential feel set in London's wild 'n crazy '60s. There are a few anachronistic "mod" episodes, but they fit the story. I love the mystery and the emphasis on sound and mood rather than dialogue.
