We have included the source you can currently stream the film, and the Rotten Tomatoes rating, which is fairly similar to how we feel about these films’ quality – though perhaps we’d add another 10% to the rating because we are biased in our interest towards photographers. These are our Top 10 films to see – in no particular order.
Blow Up / 1966 / Amazon Prime / Tomatometer - 87%
If you ever wondered why some fashion photographers attempt to have an enigmatic air about them, you can probably blame this movie. Blow Up is the story of a slightly aloof London photographer’s strange week. Between shooting a personal project and bullishly trying to meet his fashion work commitments, Thomas also just happens to make some photos in a park, only to realise later that he has photographed a murder. Many people still consider Blow Up to be one of the quintessential films from the 1960’s but nowadays I’d consider it to qualify as slow TV.
