To die for: Part II, MOVIES
« on: September 10, 2005, 03:06:17 PM »
OK I have the music to die for thread going, its doing OK but with the recent Pump Up the Volume posts in that thread I decided it was time for this thread. I am gonna hit this one like the last one. top 20 is GO:

The Shawshank Redemtion
Forrest Gump
Evil Dead
Bubba Ho-tep
Star War's Original Trilogy
(the ne trilogy ends making Vader a BITCH and doing some pretty bad repeat story telling)
The Jersey Trilogy (all five of them)
A Perfect World (this is the first movie that ever made me cry...shut up...)
Heavy Metal
Godzilla (original)
The Lord of the Rings
Tommy Boy (Thats gonna leave a mark)
Duce Bigello: Male Gigalo(excuse my spelling errors anf I must say "thats one HUGE Bitch!")
The Grapes of Wrath
Steven Kings The Stand
Jaws
The Breakfast Club
Freddy versus Jason
(I realise that this isn't the right choice, that choosing 2 seperate Nightmare on Elm Street or Friday the Thriteenth movie would be best...but this kills two birds with one stone and its a good flick too boot)
Final Destination Movies (best death scenes in all of moviedom)
The Terminator series (I don't care what anyone says, Terminator III is my favorite one and I wish was the end of the trilogy...but alas...)
Dirty Dancing (hey, if a hot chick would actually manage to find her way to get lost on my little island then I would need a "mood movie"....sue me...plus its a decent movie...even has the worlds cheesiest one liner "Nobody puts baby in the corner!"....I mean come on)

Now as with the other list...I can already read the list and see that I left off at least 5 great movies....well, what you gonna do....
A dark tide will rise and she will walk again. He is coming.....

Bubba Ho-Tep rules! Bruce Campbell is such a great actor and he really pulled off an Elvis in Bubba Ho-Tep!

Adding PCE console specific layer on top of that, makes for an interesting challenge (no, not a reference to Ys II).

Some how I knew you would agree with that one Keranu, anyone who has never seen this movie and either Loves Bruce Campbell or just a great B Movie...you have got to see this movie...It actually borders on being greater than just a B movie...well in my mind it is....

I mean come on...if you can hear the first line of Bubba-Hotep and not laugh your ass off, your just to serious. Its not straight funny...but it has a great since of humor. But also you actually find yourself believing the backstory and believing that these characters could really be the real deal. If you wanna know more...pic up this flick...hell do it anyway...its great.

Haha, the first line has something to do about his pecker right?  :lol: The movie only gets better as time goes by too, when the actual zombie story kicks in with Ossie Davis. It was so hilarious because those two senior citizens were just like little kids.

Well, I'm bipolar when it comes to films: my love is split between cheezy films and arty films. I refrained from posting 'cuz I don't think too many folks here are familiar with this stuff:

I love nearly all the films of Luis Bunuel, Jean-Luc Godard, Michelangelo Antonioni, Werner Herzog and WOODY ALLEN, buster Keaton, Marx Brothers, Charlie Chaplin, etc.. I can't pick just a few, I love tons of stuff. So here's a mish mash:

Walkabout -- Nicolas Roeg
David & Lisa -- forget the directors name, this is the 60's film
Modern Times -- Charlie Chaplin
Duck Soup -- Marx Bros.

Los Olvidados, Nazarin, The criminal life (Ensayo de un crimen), The discreet charm of the Bourgeoisie, The Exterminating Angel, El Bruto -- Luis Bunuel... his early Mexican films ROCK, even though his later French films earned him real respect. He also did the famous short film "Un chien Andalou" with Salvador Dali at the very beginning of his film career.

Burmese Harp and Fires on the Plain -- Kon Ichikawa
The Battle for Algiers and BURN! (Queimada!) -- Gillo Pontecorvo.

Stroszek, Aguirre, the Wrath of God, Fitzcarraldo -- Werner Herzog ... do yourself a favor and see Klaus Kinski in the latter two films.

Bananas, etc. -- Woody Allen
Band of Outsiders (Bande à part), Masculin / féminin, Pierrot le fou, Contempt (Le Mepris), etc -- Jean-Luc Godard

And I haven't even touched:
Dark Night of the Scarecrow -- Awesome, Awesome, especially cuz October is coming, and this was a made for TV movie!
Quatermass and the Pit (Five Million Years to Earth) -- BEST EVER :)
Last Man on Earth -- Discovered this gem a few years ago! Vincent Price is in it -- but don't let that stop you from seeing this! There's something special about this movie, especially if you love zombie flicks.
Day of the Dead -- George Romero
The Whip and the Body -- Fulci
Suspiria, Deep Red --  Dario Argento

tons more....

Well I think thats what great about this thread. Cause I mean, I personally, have never hear of most of those films (except Day of the Dead....great flick). But I would prolly look up some of those films. I also like arty films and cheesy films. I mean...Bubbah Ho-tep...cheesy...funny...but at the same time if you have a soft spot it has some genuine drama going on in it...its a great film. So please those of you who like things that fall just outside the norm or something please post. spread the love of film/music/ and coming soon TV....
 :shock:  :lol:

Cheesy movies are my favorite. Here are a few examples of cheesy movies I enjoy:

Monkey Shines
Flyin' Ryan
Munchie
Skateboard Kid
A Kid in King's Arthur Court
A Kid in Aladdin's Palace (even better, much better!)

Speaking of the Dead movies, did anybody else think that the new Dawn of the Dead was way cooler than the old one?  I watched it expecting it to totally suck (I mean why remake a classic?), but I was floored by how sweet it was.

God damn I watched some of the remake and it was stupid and cheesy as hell with that baby shit. Also the teenager-ish actors didn't help at all.

Sorry K, gotta go with the remake on this one...It changed the Zombie movie...I will never look at a slow moving zombie again...those were some creepy f&*kin zombies. Also I thought the acting was good...the baby, cheesy but I do remember the first movie and cheesy was all over it...I dont think there was anything I didn't enjoy about the remake...well if you are talking about the Theatrical Cut...then yeah it sucked....the Special Edition Directors Cut DVD was SOOOO much better...that added scenes really gave it flavor also the movie was cut in a better order than the Theatrical\
