Angel Heart (1987) https://letterboxd.com/smudgeefc1985/film/angel-heart/
A unique film noir meets murder mystery thriller meets occult horror, this is a pretty slow moving film, but that's because you're supposed to be paying attention to all the clues and imagery and symbolism that you'd forgotten all about until that big pay off twist at the end!
The atmosphere and the music is glorious, the performances knockouts, and despite it's slow pace, the mystery keeps you glued and wanting to find out what comes next. That sex scene...Jesus. If there is a sex scene anywhere in film that has so much symbolism in it, I want to see it! About the closest I think Ive seen is the one in Rosemary's Baby. Definitely a film worth a watch.
