Less than a minute into the credits I realized I wasn&#8217;t up for a 1960&#8217;s surrealist art film, and switched to Attack the Block, the story of lower class London teenagers simultaneously fighting off an alien invasion, the police, and a drug dealer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I keep saying &#8220;these aren&#8217;t the kinds of movies I normally like,&#8221; then watching them and liking them.
