Eoin reveals his total lack of interest in horror and his belief that Film Club needs to embrace the comic delights of Bobcat Goldthwait.
What was the first film you saw at Film Club?
What's been your favourite film at Film Club?
White Material. Colonialists getting what for.
What's been your least favourite film?
A Tale of Two Sisters. Horror. Yawn.
Which film that you voted for are you most annoyed has lost the vote?
Diary of a Country Priest. Though I wouldn't say this annoyed me.
What's a favourite film of yours you'd love to see at Film Club?
World's Greatest Dad. It's hilarious!
Tell us a theme and three choices you'd put up for the vote.
"This is the West, sir — when the legend becomes fact, print the legend."
The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford
The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance
Unforgiven.
Is there a book about film that you'd recommend to other members?
Making Movies, Sidney Lumet. It's a joyful, far-ranging overview of how good films are made. As the director of 12 Angry Men, Dog Day Afternoon and other classics, Lumet knew whereof he spoke.
What's your earliest memory of going to the cinema?
My dad bringing me to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze.
What's your most memorable cinematic experience?
At the Leicester Square Odeon in 2016, I saw an emphysematic Paul Schrader introduce Dog Eat Dog. "I've been involved in some important films," he told the crowd, before adding, "This isn't one."
What was the last film you saw outside Film Club and would you recommend it?
Big Night. Yes.
