Jean-Pierre Melville is mainly known for making films that could be described stylish gangster existentialism. Le silence de la mer however is very different from Le samouraï or The Red Circle – but no less compelling, provided you can get into its much more internalised drama about a different kind of resistance from what we’re used to at the movies, as Matt argued in his post.

Most kids get a kick out of watching films that they are supposedly not old enough for – and sometimes it’s those films that shape our tastes for life. For this week’s Six Damn Fine Degrees, Sam wrote about how he got to see both Once Upon a Time in the West and The Name of the Rose at an impressionable age… and what an impression they both left on him!

After two Six Damn Fine Degrees about Billy Wilder’s Fedora, there was really only one way we could go, wasn’t there? And we did do exactly that, with Matt’s memories of the loops he had to jump through before he could finally watch Raiders of the Lost Ark.

In this week’s Six Damn Fine Degrees post, Matt argued that sometimes the past haunting us isn’t a Native American burial site under the floorboards of our suburban home, but just the first version we saw when we were young, to the point where, for us, it’s the ‘correct’ version: such as Blade Runner with the voiceover that Harrison Form famously hated, or Poltergeist without the scene where a terrified parapsychologist pulls off his face with his bare hands.
