Strange Days by Kathryn Bigelow

2023 movie #85. 1995. Set in Dec. 1999, with no mention of Y2K. Instead the big tech threat is a device that allows you to record your memories and share with others. Highly illegal. Mixed into the mix is an LA in what seems to be a permanent riot. Pretty decent movie.

Blue Steel by Kathryn Bigelow

2022 movie #185. 1990. A man (Silver) sees rookie cop (Curtis) shoot an armed burglar in a grocery store. He insinuates himself into her life while meanwhile he's killing people around town with the cop's name inscribed on the bullets. Creepy AF. Good psychological thriller.
