60 of 92 · most liked firstWatched a film last night re a journalist investigating the Boston Strangler back in the 60s. Great line from her editor in one scene: "We're here to report the news, not make it". If only..........
unlabelledView 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.
unlabelledView post →On this day (12th April) in 1985, the Scala Cinema was showing The Boston Strangler (1968), Touch Of Evil (1958) and Terror Train (1980) as a Family in Peril triple bill.
unlabelledView 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.

unlabelledView post →“The VCR is to the American film industry what the Boston Strangler is to the woman home alone.” -Actual quote from a former president of the MPAA, Jack Valenti.
unlabelledView 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.
unlabelledView 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.
unlabelledView 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!
unlabelledView post →Do you like split screens? If so, do @amandajanestern.com and @joelipsett.bsky.social ever have a movie for you! On Tuesday we’re covering THE BOSTON STRANGLER (1968)

unlabelledView post →A review of the brilliantly funny 1972 movie Play It Again Sam that makes it sound like The Boston Strangler because - gasp! - Woody Allen - outrage!! etc. So sick of this shit.
unlabelledView post →Tomorrow on the Main Feed: @amandajanestern.com and @joelipsett.bsky.social tackle their first Boston Strangler film of the month with 1964’s THE STRANGLER
unlabelledView post →»Boston Strangler«, eigentlich mag ich keine Filme über Serienkiller mehr, aber ich liebe Filme über guten Journalismus. Und genau das ist der Film trotz seines Titels, denn er konzentriert sich auf die Arbeit der Journalistin Loretta McLaughlin (toll gespielt von Keira Knightly) in den 1960ern 1/2

unlabelledView post →Another great boston crime movie? The Boston Strangler with Tony Curtis and Henry Fonda. Surprisingly, more F slurs in it than The Town
unlabelledView 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.
unlabelledView post →I got served a Facebook ad for the Keira Knightley Boston Strangler movie LMAO
unlabelledView post →YES! That spontaneous combustion had me in a world of anxiety when I was little. Plus quicksand and The Boston Strangler even though I live in Australia. I think I saw the movie starring Tony Curtis 😳🤷♀️
unlabelledView post →The easiest way to get me to watch any movie is for George Kennedy to pop up in it. TCM doing the Lord's work. Now Watching 🎥 The Boston Strangler (1968)
unlabelledView post →#OTD 1973: The ‘Boston Strangler’ Albert DeSalvo - inspiration for the Rolling Stones track ‘Midnight Rambler’ and a 1968 film where he was portrayed by Tony Curtis - was stabbed to death by a fellow prisoner within the confines of MCI-Walpole prison. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_...

unlabelledView post →THE BOSTON STRANGLER with Tony Curtis is the last 5 star film I logged on Letterboxd. The first three ALL NIGHT LONG movies by Katsuya Matsumura were jaw droppingly disturbing
unlabelledView post →Mum had me watching Rocky Horror before I was 10. It remained my favourite movie until LOTR was released. (She also gave me The Boston Strangler to read when she saw me, a pre-teen, reading my sister’s copy of The Stranger Beside Me.)
unlabelledView post →headed by Alfred Hitchcock's The Lady Vanishes." The tracks run direct from Chicago to L.A. The Oscar®-nominated* story, directed by Richard Fleischer (The Boston Strangler) and scripted by his frequent collaborator Earl Felton, zigzags with surprise turns. Film noir favorite Charles McGraw plays
unlabelledView post →Director Richard Fleischer was #BOTD! I reviewed his Boston Strangler movie for @crooked-marquee.bsky.social
unlabelledView post →That's exactly what I was thinking of. Plus any TV movie about the Boston Strangler or the Charles Stuart case. Also, Jeremy Renner's accent in The Town.
unlabelledView 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!
unlabelledView 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.

unlabelledView post →JW The Boston Strangler. V good film. I didn’t know much about the case beforehand but when desalvo’s name popped up I recognised it. I had no idea that the case was still unsolved! Now I’m going to have to have a deep dive into the details. WTF?!

unlabelledView post →One more from last night's write. The Boston Strangler was new to me. Tony Curtis blew me away. 📽️ #letterboxd
unlabelledView 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.
unlabelledView 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)
unlabelledView 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.
unlabelledView 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.
unlabelledView 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.
unlabelledView 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…..
unlabelledView post →My ★★★ review of Boston Strangler on Letterboxd boxd.it/5bmH57
unlabelledView 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
unlabelledView post →If you also like a good Girl Reporter movie, I really enjoyed the Boston Strangler movie with Keira Knightley on Hulu.

unlabelledView post →That is a great set of films. He made The New Centurions in 1972, which is a great film, and Soylent Green in 1973. Not forgetting The Boston Strangler in 1968, which is a properly impressive piece of work.
unlabelledView post →Boston Strangler (2023) Boston Strangler (2023) There have, of course, been other films on this subject. Notable examples include The Boston Strangler (1968) and The Strangler (1964). It’s hard not to think of Jack the Ripper. I love the film From Hell (2001) about him. TThere’s the Boston Strangler (1968), but this isn’t a remake. Gerold Frank had written a book with that title. Stéphane Bourgoin had compiled excerpts from the strangler’s confessions. And I suppose the list goes on! Indeed,…
unlabelledView post →Curtis' "Boston Strangler" remans one of the most underrated performances of his career. The Dick Fleischer movie remains hugely underrated to. It's damn good!
unlabelledView post →Remember this guy? “I say to you that the VCR is to the American film producer and the American public as the Boston Strangler is to the woman home alone.”
unlabelledView post →I don't know what it is indicative of when I ☠️search 'strangler' to find The Boston Strangler (2023), a very good movie I love, and S04E17 Family Guy 'The Fat Guy Strangler' (2005) has twice as many seeds.
