| ๐ Bad YA Book Adaptations | Chaos Walking (2021) | Eragon (2006) | This was discussed in the pub, good luck. Feel like you need Simon, Chloe, or others who grew up with these to get suitably angry at them. |

| ๐ฆ๐ Cephalopod Week | It Came from Beneath the Sea (1955) | Octopus 2: River of Fear (2001) | It Came Beneath looks like a classic 50s film, Octopus 2 was picked to fit the theme. Alex has it on DVD if it can't be found anywhere. |
| ๐ช๐ฌ Egypt week | The Madness of Youth (1975) | Helali's Fist (1991) | Cannot remember what these are, think they're on KG. This is completely blind they're pretty obscure. |

|
| ๐ GCSE English | Of Mice and Men (1992) or Of Mice and Men (1939) or Lord of the Flies (1963) or Lord of the Flies (1990) |

Lots of choices! Are they any good! |

Super scuffed 8mm films that will look like Things at best, we're deep into obscure amateur hour here. See this Letterboxd list and pray its on KG. Deadlock is a 40m Finnish slasher. |
| Gloucester FGC Week ๐ฅ | Street FIghter (1994) | Tekken (2010) | There's also a 2010 King of Fighters film but does anyone care about that franchise? |
