Not exactly a horror movie, but just out of interest have you ever seen Ichi the Killer?
heard of it of course, but looking at the trailer I don't think so.

haha, missed that one...
now isn't it a shame there wasn't a printing error in 1995 and we didn't end up with the Robin Williams fantasy adventure 'JUMANJ'
Not sure about this one:
50. Q (aka Q, THE WINGED SERPENT)
If we don't go with this, Q is going to be mighty tough to tackle. I have seen the film called simply "Q" at times, but usually Q, THE WINGED SERPENT. J and V are all that remain in the alphabet. Not that we have to do them, but I've been trying to do so and it seems futile. Maybe if there was a a film series that started with V and ended with the Roman numeral V for 5?
51.
V. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V_(2020_film)
That's V sorted.
I think for J you'd need someone to go back in time and get Peter Jackson to direct JFK. He'd split it up into a trilogy and we'd be sorted. Short of that I can't think of anything that starts and ends on that letter.
nice... for a sec I thought there was a V movie, as in the sci fi prog? maybe just a feature length pilot

oh great, I'm a big fan of boobies...endlessly fascinating. I've studied them for years.
along with other types of seabirds.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Booby
Well, here ya go-for 1931, this was pretty racy!
(https://i.imgur.com/Da2pl8M.jpg) (https://lunapic.com)
hmm can't make out any boobies there... perhaps they're nesting nearby?
"a booby in the hand is worth two in the bush", as my twitching instructor used to say
