Dave’s Movie Diary is a daily film reflection based on whatever I watched the night before. It’s not a technical breakdown or film theory deep dive — just personal thoughts, reactions, and perspective in the moment. Sometimes it’s a first watch, sometimes a rewatch, and when it is, I’ll compare how it felt then versus how it feels now.
Dave hosts Dave’s Movie Diary, a tv show with 70 episodes published.
I revisit John Sayles’ Passion Fish (1992), a beautifully made character drama about two damaged people who slowly learn to understand each other. Mary McDonnell and Alfre Woodard are fantastic as two women dealing with
Francis Ford Coppola’s Rumble Fish (1983) might just be his forgotten masterpiece. In this episode, I revisit its stunning black-and-white cinematography, mythic performances from Mickey Rourke and Matt Dillon, and the d
I revisit Clerks II (2006), a sequel that feels just as much like a time capsule of the mid-2000s as it does a return to Kevin Smith’s most famous characters. What once felt like a hilarious follow-up now plays as a film
I revisit Abbas Kiarostami’s The Wind Will Carry Us (1999), a quiet, beautifully observed film that finds meaning in everyday conversations, routine and the rhythms of village life. What begins as a simple story graduall
I revisit Mercury Rising (1998), a late-‘90s thriller that holds up better than its reputation. Bruce Willis brings plenty of heart to the role, the supporting cast is full of familiar faces, and it’s a fascinating snaps
I revisit Sally Potter’s Orlando (1992), a unique and fascinating film that completely confused me when I first saw it but has taken on a very different meaning decades later. Tilda Swinton is extraordinary as a characte
I revisit Adrian Lyne’s Jacob’s Ladder (1990), a film that has always stayed with me because it refuses to give easy answers. When I first saw it, I think I experienced it mainly as a disturbing psychological horror film
I revisit Steven Spielberg’s Duel, the film that announced the arrival of one of cinema’s greatest filmmakers. What begins as a simple moment of road frustration turns into a terrifying game of cat and mouse between Denn
I revisit The Money Movers (1978), a gritty Australian crime film that surprised me when I first discovered it on VHS as a teenager recovering from a knee injury. A lean, hard-edged story about cash security guards, corr
I revisit The Score (2001), a heist thriller that brought together Robert De Niro, Edward Norton and Marlon Brando. I remembered it as an incredible crime film, but watching it again after more than 20 years, I found it
I revisit Abbas Kiarostami’s Taste of Cherry (1997), a quiet and deeply philosophical Iranian film about life, death and the choices we make. I first saw this film around twenty years ago during a period when I was becom
I revisit The Big Lebowski (1998) on Dave’s Movie Diary, the Coen Brothers’ cult classic about mistaken identity, bowling, and one very unfortunate rug. Packed with unforgettable characters, strange situations and endles
I revisit Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters (1985), Paul Schrader’s unique and visually stunning exploration of the life, art and contradictions of Yukio Mishima. In this episode of Dave’s Movie Diary, I discuss the film’
I revisit Tony Scott’s Crimson Tide (1995), a film I originally saw as just another submarine thriller but came to appreciate much more on rewatch. With Gene Hackman and Denzel Washington at the centre, it’s really a fas
I revisit Jean-Luc Godard’s Alphaville (1965), a film that fascinated me even while I wasn’t always sure what was going on. Blending film noir, science fiction and philosophy, it’s a remarkably early look at technology,
I revisit Peter Weir’s Witness (1985), one of my favourite films of the 1980s and, for me, one of Harrison Ford’s finest performances. In this episode of Dave’s Movie Diary, I look back at Peter Weir’s move from Australi
A look at Sam Peckinpah’s dusty, violent Western about ageing outlaws, moral collapse, and one final blood-soaked stand. I talk cast, style, slow-motion violence, and why this feels like a turning point in cinema. Availa
I revisit Jim Jarmusch’s Stranger Than Paradise, a film that surprised me with how strongly it connected to memories of my own early twenties. More than a traditional plot, it’s about drifting, friendship, boredom, adven
I recently revisited Eraserhead (1977), a film I didn’t really connect with when I first tried it years ago. Watching it again now, it feels less like a story and more like an experience — pure atmosphere, anxiety, and s
I revisit Paul Thomas Anderson’s debut feature, Hard Eight (1996), a film I remembered as being all about gambling but discovered is really about guilt, redemption and surrogate family. I also look at the wonderful perfo
