Cold winter nights were made for cinema, the kind of films you watch with something warm and don't move until the end. Thrillers with real tension, the kind that makes you hold your breath without realising it. Specifically from the golden era of the 80s and 90s, a period that defined modern cinema in ways still felt today. When the world feels heavy, these remind you what people are capable of at their best.
