C is for cinema. C is for us catastrophically trying to crown a champion. The A–Z of Films is back and we’ve crash-landed on the most competitively stacked consonant in the canon: the letter C . Previously, Alien and Birdman bagged the lofty A and B belts… but who claims the coveted C crown? We’ve carefully curated (and mildly quarrelled over) 32 colossal C-class classics. The wheel of names spins with cruel, chaotic confidence, creating completely confounding clashes that we then attempt to critique with questionable credibility. It’s a traditional knockout competition, but make it cinematic carnage. In Part 1, sixteen contenders collide. Next week, the remaining sixteen complete the bracket, and the two survivors will clash for cultural supremacy. Will A Clockwork Orange commit its way to victory? Does Cool Runnings cruise past the competition? Is Chinatown truly the crown jewel of noir? Are there committed campaigners for Chicken Run ? Controversy, conversation, catastrophically confident claims… it’s all here. Consider this your compulsory cinematic catch-up. Grab a cuppa, clutch your popcorn, and come cast your internal ballot. The canon is calling. 🏆🎥 Are there any films you think we missed in our list of C films? Any ones you want to see included in future letters? We want to know!
