Yes, you may add more than one. As well as maybe what and why, you love it.
Getting this started.
Have to admit, most recent has to be the Avengers movie. Just seemed very well done. Balance between all the characters. Action, some definate humor now and then. ALSO being honest. I think (Probably get this wrong) Coby Smulders .. think it is. As a main shield agent. Looked EVERY bit as hot. Yet with out the hype given to Black Widows actress, and character.
Comedy .. lot of the Mel Brooks movies. One good thing about them. So much going on, even in the back ground. You can watch them several times. YET now and then still. Find something or a gag. You did not catch before.
Historical .. WISH this would find it's way onto dvd. George Washington mini series. With Barry Bostwick. Think it was a GREAT epic.
A LOT of real characters, from the time period. Around his life, and the revolutionary war.
PLUS .. was not all. OH he was so good .. NOPE gave a balanced portrayal. Of his being human, mistakes, and how he grew. From a simple farm boy type background, at family home. To become general, and finally president.
Including a LOT of the intrigue, and dangerous politics, and rivals he had to deal with. As many old mini series, now on dvd.
I think this is a MUST, for a historical footnote, and look. At the people, and ideologies. From that time, that helped birth the nation.
OK Add this as well .. LOVE Lord of the Rings Trilogy Looking forward to the Hobbit of course. YET wish movies like these.. as well as something like Twister. Always had a movie size screen to enjoy them with. Some movies, as good as they are. Just seem so much better. When able to see them this way... While others not that major a factor. Between movie or tv screen.
Anyone else?? As you can see.. open to more than one area..... as well as reasons, and whys of what makes the movie enjoyable for you.

For me it is The Mists of Avalon with Anjelica Houston and Juliana Miguenes. It is a beautiful movie, close of the Marion Zimmer Bradley's books. Morgan le Fay is not depicted as the wicked witch we know but more as a pagan priestress who tries to fight the christian intolerance and raising power; I love it.
-
I've watched Steven Spielberg's Jaws over 100 times since 1975. Recently watched it again on Blu Ray, an absolutely perfect thriller.
I watch Chinatown once a year usually.
-
Have got to add Tombstone as well .... Lot of classic lines, and scenes from it ... Remember Doc Holiday having most of them.... Why Johhny Ringo, you look like someone just walked all over your grave..
You know HB .. Gaelle is sound to me. Like StarBear.. More to this lady than meets the eye. A very smart sounding lady here!!
Oh and Woww .. Wonder how many times. That poor gal, has been viewed being a tasty tidbit for Jaws. Her infamous skinny dipping or bikini great white hors derv (Yeahh probably spelled that wrong..) CHOMP ..

OMG there are so many. I agree Avengers was amazing.
I love the first Pirates of the Caribbean. The right blend of comedy, action, and wonderful camera shots to tell the perfect story.
The same could be said of The Princess Bride for me too. *giggles*

Agree original Pirates of Caribbean movie classic. Just cast, scenes, and pace. Everything just seemed to click.
Princess Bride ... YEAHHH!! Get out of here or I will call the Brute squad!! "I'm on the Brute squad"(Andre the Giant) Looking at him.. "You ARE the Brute squad"!!
TWO movie quotes for STARBEAR .... see if she catches them he he he ....
I can easily see some guy, being shoved down a hill by StarBear. While saying... As you wish!!
Then of course Avengers ... Huhhh Puny god!! LOL LOVE that scene!!

For me there is one film I watch whenever they re show it "The Adventures of Robin Hood" It was the first technicolour film and one of the first things I saw in colour when the BBC switched from black and white ( yes I am that old) Errol Flynn and Basil Rathbone in their prime one of the best sword fights ever (for me only the duel in the Princess Bride where both fighters switch hands halfway through comes close) but also I love the cowardly Sheriff of Nottingham who on hitting on the brilliant plan of holding an archery contest to capture Robin Hood knowing he will win it promptly wagers a "100 Marks on Phillip of Arras" judging by looks on both Claude Rains (Prince John) and Basil Rathbone's faces that it was an ad lib! There have been other Robin Hood films that might be better acted or more grittily realistic but to me they are pale imitations of the original.
I also wore out my copy of McVicar not great cinema but it does star Roger Daltrey who even now can turn turn my knees to jelly!
-
There is 1 movie & 1 movie only that stands out like a sore thumb , Grease 2 , YEAH RIGHT , even the stars who made it ( Michelle Pfieffer & Maxwell Caufeild ) regret doing so .
For me , I love watching Zombieland , The Patriot , Apollo 13 , & The Last of the Mohicians to name a few , but lastly , watch over & over again , 24 hours of A Christmas Story on TBS on Xmas ;D " You'll Shoot Your Eye Out Kid " Merry Xmas , Ho - Ho - Ho - Ho ! ;D ;D ;D
-
Scarface, Independence Day Kill Bill vol 1 and 2 to name a few
-
A few favourites of mine.
Gallipoli
Beaches
The Power of One
The Last Waltz
All are very different yet each manages to strike a chord without being pretentious.

{PAULINE .. being totally honest here ... Changing my movie stock, from old vhs to dvd. Robin Hood was on of the first. Classic good against evil tale. As well as a very nice blend of comedy (The dual with Fryer Tuck). With the sword fights and Drama. I think Ivanhoe, with Robert Taylor. A nice companion to that movie. Usually after watching one of them. Have to watch the other soon after.}
Robin Hood and Princess bride together ... INCONCEIVABLE!! (sorry could not resist. Fans of Princess Bride will get that.) YET both very enjoyable movies!!
-
Funny you should mention Ivanhoe Storm, as I watched that when it was shown a couple of weekends ago too! I think Sir Walter Scott missed a trick though he should have had Ivanhoe sentenced to death and Rebecca and Rowena fight over him (perhaps a subject for some more artwork). Which reminds me of another really good film adaptation of a Walter Scott novel that has another very different sword fight in it, "Rob Roy" Liam Neeson is solid as the hero but Tim Roth is deliciously evil and steals the film.
I asked my husband what film can he watch over and over he ummed and ahhed for a few minutes before deciding it was a coin toss between the "Great Escape" and "Its a Wonderful Life" and then said "Zulu" he must have the only three sided coin in the world!

Gallipoli starred Mel Gibson and is the tale of the Australian Light Horse regiment and their part in the ill fated Dardanelles offensive of 1915 (asked my husband if it involves war or soldiers he knows)

WW1, the coming of age of Australia as the Anzacs are sent to fight the turks.
Has a young Mel Gibson in it as a supporting actor.
"Two Australian sprinters face the brutal realities of war when they are sent to fight in the Gallipoli campaign in Turkey during World War I."

Stormy, Are you wishing to be pushed down a hill by me? Cause I will always appreciate those words "As you wish" from you *huggles*
lol
-
Pauline and Mary .. Thanks.. Thought I remembered Mel Gibson being on the movie cover. Why I thought could be a remake. Will put this down, as definate wish to see now.
See someone a fan of the Rocky movies .. Yer all washed up Rock!! Why don't ya go back to the docks where you belong!! Still think one of my fave lines in all of them. Right before the exhibition bout between Rocky, and Hogan. Rokcy asks micky,, what do you think a guy like that eats. Micky replies with a weight . Just before Rocky is introduced, with his weight. The figure given by Micky, in his reply.
Halloween horror style ... anyone fave spooky horror movies?? Have to be honest STILL think the original Halloween and the original Fog. Some of the best ever done.
Just a perfect mix of good actors, atmosphere, and those music pieces.. Both having that little nerve dancing notes, as things build, and happen.
Course probably did not help. First time I was watching the Fog. We actually had some heavy fog outside that night. Talk about perfect mood setting!! LOL
Phantoms adapted from Dean Koontz novel starring Rose Mcgowan is another good one. Just pacing, lighting, and way it is presented. Just gives you that uneasy feeling, while watching.
Changeling with Geroge C Scott .. This is a guilty favorite. .. Seems not many people know of this one. Yet it is a very well plotted, haunted murder mystery.
OK there are a few from me, anyone else??

Quick few more horror movies .. MAYBE not watch over and over.. Yet little bit of time in between views.. Creep you out all over again.. LOL
Amityville Horror
Exorcist .. (Add on note.. Linda Blair is so tiny RL Got to meet her few years ago. For being so full figured. I was surprised, just how petite she was. )
Poltergeist
Ok stopping there .. see if anyone else has some good ones!!

Hmmm Horror movies difficult as the best of them have the ability to make you jump when you don't expect it but tend to be one shot weapons because if you watch them a second time you know what is coming.
But breaking the genre down into slasher, ghost and occult categories.
Halloween because it was probably the nastiest goriest film I ever saw when I saw it the first time.
The Devil Rides Out. Occult classic and with Charles Grey and Christopher Lee as the main protagonists you cant go far wrong although the sfx are dated now.
The Shining. Haunted house turns Jack Nicholson into a raving loony "Here's Johhny!"
Oh and the Original Fright Night which although very silly still managed to make me jump.
-
Changeling with Geroge C Scott .. This is a guilty favorite. .. Seems not many people know of this one. Yet it is a very well plotted, haunted murder mystery.
Storm
I wouldn't call The Changeling a "guilty" pleasure, it is actually a very well made ghost story, very subtle and creepy and better than most of what passes for horror in today's movies. It was an early 80's Canadian film which played breifly in the States but had numerous showings on cable TV and was released on DVD, sadly no Blu Ray yet.
This is a movie to seek out. Very good choice.
-
I'll add a few with a change of genre....
Gladiator
The Last Samurai

Ok Emily .. which Jennifer's body do you have?? Aniston .. Lopez .. love Hewitt?? Oh and does she know your keeping her in Canada??

OK one quick change.. NONE of the Porn or xxx stuff. Let's leave that Genre OUT!! Hope no one will try and throw that in. Yet WILL ask Mods to delete any such posts to the thread. Just seems people start acting stupid. When that gets brought up or into thread.
-
I know someone brought up .. it's a wonderful life.. THAT reminds me .. one of the really neat things now. Happen to be some of the documentary's one classic films like this.
The combo, movie with making of special. Is the way to go that movie.... Some neat facts told about it. Like how a stage hands dumping of paint cans. Is glossed over by an actor. Ad libbed falling into something off screen. Got left in the movie.
Others that have good factoids or interesting things revealed.
Ten Commandments, with Yul Brynner and Charlton Heston. The baby used in the opening scene. Being guided in the basket on the water. Actually was Charlton Hestons very recent born child. There is something also, about the voice of God, at the burning bush scene. Will leave you one to check out.
Quiet Man . with John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara ... Some of Wayne's kids actually were used in the movie. A LOT of family reunions, and things going on. Between some of the actors, and crew.
Wizard of OZ .. NOT from documentary YET how many people notice at one point. Scarecrow is carrying a gun, as a weapon?? Someone at work brought this point up. Happened to see photo online. YET the phot they had. Was NOT actually the scene it happened in.. Anyone remember seeing this?? Oh and yes, this also has some interesting things shared in making of mini documentary.
Thought would share something a bit different, with this theme.

In which we serve http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MI8hEghYpyA based (loosely) on fact Lord Louis Mountbatten's destroyer HMS Kelly and dedicated to the RoyaL Navy
wereon under the good providence of Almighty God the wealth safety and strength of this Kingdom chiefly depends.
Anything starring Leslie Howard (especially Pimpernell Smith Pygmalian and for the Canadians here 49th Parrallel)
His private Secretary co starring John Wayne as you've never seen him before (A romantic lead!) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SIrvw3ETDHo
Gremlins 2 (especially the opening scenes)
The Stranger (Edward G Robinson and Orson Welles make a fantastic combination) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yu8-V9JRX_g&feature=related
Dead on Arrival (my fav film noir even though it doesnt have a femme fatale)
the Blue Dahlia ( a great femme fatale film..) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0JdlxXBalzo
Rebecca (one of Hitch's best!)
confession time Ive always wanted to be a femme fatale!
and yes
its a wonderful life...
The Wizard of Oz
some Basil Rathbone movies.
-
Storm Jennifers Body has Megan Fox in it,,,none of the Jen's (Aniston, lopez etc show!)
As to films:
The Guns of Navarone (from the Alistair Maclean book)
The Bridge on the River Kwai (a great movie)(sort of anti-war, but a bit of action)(also from a book)
Any of the Dirty Harry, Any of the Bond series.
The Sound of Music (don't ask me why....but I've seen it five times-oh maybe 8)(Yeah somehow it gets me in!!)
The Bodyguard (generally don't like Kevin Costner or Whitney, but both were good in this)(Whitney sadly gone too young)
First two Lethal Weapons., and the first Mad Max.
Trading places (Eddie Murphy and Dan Akroyd at their best.)
That'll do for now.
Simon not a long lost twin to my husband are you as your first two picks are on his list as well! Although when I asked him what films he could watch over and over a distinct pattern emerged in that they were all war films of some sort!
When this subject was first brought up I thought "Oh that's easy to answer!" but as more people have added theirs its reminded me of other films that I have made a point of watching whenever they crop up on TV. Peccavi mentions Edward G Robinson not sure he ever made a bad film but the one I watch if I see it is on is "The Roaring Twenties" Edward G, Humphrey Bogart, and James Cagney all in one film! Leslie Howard, hubby says "The first of the Few." was his best not a war film surprisingly but about RJ Mitchell the designer of the Spitfire so no surprise he would suggest that! Hitchcock "The Birds!" I know probably not his best film but I saw it when I was ten and it scared the life out of me and even now when I see flocks of birds gathering to lurk on telegraph wires they creep me out but I still watch it again!
I did suddenly realise that are a few films I watch over again not because they are particularly great cinema or even have good actors in but because they bring back memories of what I was doing at the time (possibly a sign of old age) "Breaking Glass" for instance first film I went to see with my husband back in the dark ages and amazingly not a war film.
-
here's a different list...
The Man From Snowy River
Sea Biscuit
Phar Lap
Hidalgo
I can watch any of these anytime.

Good Lord, someone else has seen O' Lucky Man . The music by Alan Price is indeed amazing, the songs are wonderful. Had the LP for years and WB finally issued it on CD some time ago, but it has fallen out of print.
-
Thanks HB for the heads up. I thought that too about Paul but when the ice cream wasn't there (along with their press statement), I was sad. *fingers crossed* Hope they come out with it soon.
So many good movies here on the list. This should keep me busy for a while :)

JUST a note on this.. know nothing about it. YEt Mary, HB
Keep an eye out, if this is not on dvd. Through work, have seen this year. Warner has re-released a LOT of old movies onto dvd.
One of my liked historical movies, just recently getting to dvd first time..
Northwest passage, with Spencer Tracy
Anyways, will admit. Tons of titles I never have heard of. Maybe check online, see if they have online store!! If not, maybe just check for it now and then online search.
Thought I would toss that out there for you 2.

Pete how could you leave out .. The Longest Day?? Think one of my fave scenes... The german in bunker at beach. Sees the armada begin to appear.
While they begin shelling his position. He is yelling into the phone.. You know those thousand ships you say the allies don't have?? Listen, they are here!!
Something like that..
Another one with John Wayne .. They were expendable. Movie about the PT boats service.
MAJOR league again.. for Pete One of my fave lines of all times.

Jenn Peccavi ..
Woww you surprised me listing that old John Wayne title..
You may want to give these 2 a look.
Flame of Barbary Coast .. Like you said.. kind of different style for him .. Romantic lead.. Yet also a historical type/ period piece.
Romantic comedy .. North to Alaska
Both of these with John Wayne
One thing that usually is not given.. He honestly, got to work. With most of Hollywoods most beautiful female stars. During the time he was acting. Kind of a who's who of beauty at that time. From Marlene Dietrich, and Lauren Bacall.. to Sophia Loren, Ann Margaret, Janet Leigh and It's a wonderful life's Donna Reed.
BTW anyone have interests in John Wayne movies... Have most of them here.. so maybe can recommend one!!

war related movies....Breaker Morant is a brilliant film.

Back to the Future
Star Wars (Episodes 4-5-6)

For Holloween the movie I'll be watching again is Cabin in the Woods. It could be the best horror movie I've seen in a few years. It reminds me of "scream" as it plays with "The rules" of a horror movie in new and refeshing way.
It was surprisingly fun, but then again, anything with Richard Jenkins is worth watching. For me it was a lot more clever than "Scream" and best of all... no Drew Barrymore ;D
-
Totally have to agree....."The Ref" was hilarious. Great Suggestion.
Also have to give two thumbs for "The Negotiator" I just saw it. Simply: Amazing!

Also have to give two thumbs for "The Negotiator" I just saw it. Simply: Amazing!
Thing about the negotiator ..Kind of keep misdirecting you. So you don't know for sure who is guilty. Plus make you think some are, that maybe are not. So first time through.. kind of a good who done it. WITH extra twists and turns!!
PhillyBaby .. Hey the more the merrier, for titles ... As you see.. Princess Bride .. is there for several people. PLUS most, giving more than 1 title. HEY lot of good movies out there. So feel free, to add more than one!!
Cindy .. Hmmmmmm maybe not true for the ladies you catfight. yet nice seeing you Sting .. your way through here.
Kind of one of the best original con man movies.
DIGGSTOWN .. great seesaw battle between con men Bruce Dern, and James Woods.. With louis Gosset jr... LIKE negotirator.. first time through. Each time you think one side has it for the win. The other side, pulls something else to gain advantage again.
Livdeadgirl .. OK HEY I mean the ladies name, SCREAMS Halloween!! So I am going to take it from her.. This movie being added to my to see list!! Thanks, for adding this in!!
Justine .. Hmmmmm would comment on Blues brothers.. But I'm currently on a mission from God. Trying to put the old band back together!! He he he
Some great suggestions here folks!! Plus hoping like me. Some others. Getting to see movies, thay may want to check out now!!
Storm
-
Almost forgot this OR maybe added before. YET worth mentioning..
Think this is a wonderful performance by Kirk Douglas, in his pater years.
Greedy ... with Michael J Fox .. Kirk Douglas, Olivia D'abo (Gorgeous.. got to meet her in person wowww!!).
AGAIN this is a comedy.. some drama.. and LOTS of twists... Not going to spoil it.. YET the final scene with Kirk Douglas.. AWESOME finish, and pay off, for the movie!! Definately had not seen that coming, and LOVED it, when it finished!!
Storm
-
ok two more comedies ... for the sci fi fans ..
SpaceBalls the movie.. Have to admit. This one is fun. I am your fathers, brothers, uncles, cousins, former roomate. "What does that make us?? Absolutely nothing!!
(May not have that all completely correct, yet you get the idea.)
I said fire across her nose, not up it!! LEADING of course to the "I knew it I'm surrounded by assholes line!!
GalaxyQuest .. with Tim Allen, and Sigourney Weaver. Also has some good scenes. Kind of parody of the Star Trek original series.
Storm
-
Casablanca, so obvious a choice yet somehow omitted so far.
Oddly i need to add a western too....Once Upon a Time in the West, that haunting harmonica
mary xxx
-
KASIA ... Think it is cool. Seeing such a lovely young lady. Liking some of the older titles that way!! Thanks for adding in!!
Think Kasia has made One Flew over the coocoo's nest. A multi mentioned title now!!
Mary ... brings up nice idea.. westerns!! Pauline your hubby into those or just war??
Some of my fave westerns .. more modern..
Tombstone of course.. Why Johhny Ringo, you look like someone. Just walked all over your grave... Some great lines, and powerful scenes.
Silverado ... Sacketts (Based on Louis L"amour series .... ) ... Open Range ... Purgatory (Very different kind of idea). Maverick with Mel Gibson ... also great cameo role for James garner.
Older classics ... John Wayne.. maybe two fave.. among many for me.. Rio Lobo and Big Jake Probably most watched. (Bet Pauline's hubby, would bring up. How unreal the blood color, looked back in those days.)
Magnificent seven .. again, just some very good lines. With strong acting performances.
Clint Eastwood .. Pale rider maybe most watched. Yet Hang em high as well.
Anyone else??

Westerns hmm for me The Magnificent Seven (and I can name all 7 without using google) "I Ain't never ridden shotgun on a hearse before." Steve McQueen (gorgeous) and The Outlaw Josey Whales brilliant adaptation of a good book marred only by the mis-casting of the insipid and skinny Sondra Locke as the love interest when in the book she is described as a big healthy girl (much like I used to get referred to as being).
His lordship's favourites are (all Jimmy Stewart) Winchester 73, The man who shot liberty valance, Two Rode Together classic line whilst eating with the indians Richard Widmark "what is this?" Jimmy Stewart "Its pawnee" RW "What's pawnee?" JS "A very small horse!" and of course The Alamo, Gettysburg and Glory although I say they are war films not traditional westerns his response is they are in the USA which is west of us so they count!!!!
Oh and we both like Cat Ballou me because of Lee Marvin and his drunk horse him for a very young Jane Fonda

Devil .. what about the original CREEPSHOW?? Kind of interesting.. think usually. Stephen King .. has NOT liked many. Of the movie adaptations.
Oh think TommyKnockers was one of his also.. not a bad movie either!!

For me it would be "All The Marbles" with Peter Falk my all time favorite now if we talk tv shows my number 1 show would be NCIS, II'd love to go one on one with Abby Schutto or Ziva David!
Belly punching Latina ... Have to agree with the Ncis like .. Have first 6 seasons on disc ... PLUS Think a LOT of ladies.. would like to tangle, with Abby .. YET think Ziva would surprise a LOT of ladies. Small in size, yet LOT of kick ass training, and moves!!
Thanks for posting ... All the Marbles... That is from the late 70's isn;t it?? Interesting choice.

Hey Moose.. Rocko .. Help the judge remember where he has his wallet.. Rodney Dangerfield at his best!! Nice add..
Aerver .... NICE adding the wikepedia... Thought some of the titles where from India or Hindi. Now I see you add Hungama .. knew it for sure.
True ... depending on your location. The titles probably not as easy to get. Definately explains the need, for the youtube links!!
With Caddyshack entered .. Have to throw in the original Police Academy!!
Airplane ... I am serious and stop calling me shirley!
Hot Shots . also good parody .. Hard to go wrong. When you give the set up.. for pilot Dead meat Thompson!! LOL

2 more war movies ..
U-571 very nice one. Also based on some actual fact. Also reminded me of
The Enemy Below NIce naval game of cat and mouse. Between a sub and a destroyer
Submarine comdey .. Down Periscope with Kelsey Grammer
Not sure mentioned before 2 more faves with same actor Jim Cazaviel ..
Frequency is GREAT!! Kind of time paradox, murder investigation. VERY good attention to detail!! Seems to wrap everything up nicely by the end as well.
Count of Monte Cristo very enjoyable as well.

HOLIDAY FAVES!!!
Ok going by store displays ... and U.S. Thaksgiving and black friday few weeks away.
WHAT are your fave Christmas or holiday movies?? Animated OR live action!!
Know It's a wonderful life mentioned.. and Christmas story.. (BTW anyone else know. They have done a Christmas Story 2??)
Few of my faves.. top of the list. National Lampoon's Christmas vacation with Chevy Chase. Some GREAT scenes, and lines.
"I used to have that metal plate in my head Clark." "Then everytime Katherine would start the microwave." "I would piss myself, and forget who I was." Randy Quaid, as cousin Eddie.
OK and being honest.. MAY not always have the quotes right, word for word. YET hope it helps remind you of the scene.
Year with out Santa Clause.. animated.. Those silly miser brothers!! LOL
Christmas with the Kranks ... Tim Allen N Jamie Lee Curtis. Kind of enjoys the community saving Christmas. Like It's a wonderful life.. YET in a more warped and modern way!!
How the Grinch stole christmas with Jim Carey. Also good for extra views..
THERE a few of them thrown out.. Anyone else??
Storm
-
The original Christmas Carol with Alistair Sim as Scrooge. "Are there no workhouses are there no prisons?" "Christmas a poor excuse to pick a mans pocket every 25th of December!"
-
Pauline.. see your going with the classic version. I have jokingly stated at work. I think a new method of torture. To get someone to talk.
Is to make them sit, and watch. EVERY version of Christmas Carol, live action, and animated. Back, to back, conintuing until they talk!!
Have to admit.. think my favorite take on this. Is with Patrick Stewart. A bit of the theater actor added in.
Surprising version, was newer animated Disney. Jim Carey part of it. YET here I am thinking Hey Disney/ Jim Carey.. This has got to be a very slapstick version.. YET was I wrong. Definately trying to stay true, to some of the darker themes and elements of Dickens classic.
Was very surprised, part of opening, with the stealing of coins. From the dead Jacob Marley, by Scrooge.
Being honest.. STILL love the Rankin and Bass early animated. Like Rudolph the Red nosed reindeer, and others.
Anyone else on your fave holiday movies??
Storm
-
HAVE GOT to add this!!
Ok shall we play movie trivia?? Extra points, if you can catch this one. MAY have been mentioned here before...
Actually saw this as a bumper sticker, while driving to work friday.
Hello, I am Inigo Montoya. You killed my father, prepare to die!!
KEWL .....
OH and THANKS to the comments by MaryD, and Pauline.. Have a copy of Hidalgo.. that I will be watching. With in the week!!
So ladies ... trusting having 2 of you, give it a mention.
BTW ANYONE ever see other movie with Viggo Mortenson in it.
History of Violence?? Interested in it, yet never seen it yet.
He is kind of like a Jimmy Stewart or Harrison Ford actor. Seems to have his own charisma about him. That helps, films he is part of.
Storm
-
Viggo Mortensen (deep sighs) History of Violence its a pretty good film that seems to have slipped under the radar of a lot of people. He also plays a gun fighter in the western Apaloosa alongside Ed Harris against perenial villain Jeremy Irons. He was also in a Perfect Murder with Michael Douglas.

PAULINE ...
Here is the plan ... plug hubby into LONG war movies like Longest Day and Saving private Ryan..
THEN you sneak upstairs to have a Viggo Mortenson marathon!! ;D Sounds like Mary knows what she is talking about!! ;)
Pete .. Beverly Hills Cop .. Eddie Murphy at his best!! That and who has NOT thought how cool. It may be to just drive a semi, through parked cars like that??
Storm
-
OK myself, going to let the holiday crowd dwindle first.. YET anyone happen to see the Hobbit this weekend?? Any feedback.
Know it is a long one.. so MAY need to stock some extra snacks heading in!!
If not put in before..
ADD Volcano; With Tommy lee jones to the list. Parts of it MAY look unreal. To folks like Pauline's hubby!! (Had a few moments that myself.) Yet over all just a interesting, not the norm special effects thrill ride. With a good and talented cast.
Storm
-
A sleeper holiday movie that I can watch over and over.... The Family Man with Nicolas Cage and Tea Leoni.
Here's a link to the trailer http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OnouJoQs52c

A Christmas Carol starring Jim Carrey by Disney. Just warms my heart with Christmas joy.

A Christmas Carol starring Jim Carrey by Disney. Just warms my heart with Christmas joy.
HAVE got to admit.. THAT one totally surprised me. I figured at times, for it to be some of Carey's goofy/ over the top comedy style.
Yet they obviously tried doing it VERY true to Dickens writing.
When they started out, his Scrooge taking the coins from Marley's eyes. I knew this was not going to be the wacky laugh fest I thought it would be.
Storm

a christmas story
miracle on 34th street
the little drummer boy

a christmas story
miracle on 34th street
the little drummer boy
Lexi Little Drummer boy a great add ... Being honest.. Love almost all those old Rankin Bass holiday ones ...
BTW did you know, they did do a sequal to Little Drummer boy?? It is part of a Dvd collection now.
Think maybe with Leprachauns Christmas Gold ... 2 others.
Nestor the long eared donkey/ Santa Clause is coming to town/ Year with out a santa clause.. those wacky miser brothers!! / Life and adventures of Santa Clause
Among them.. Anyone else.. think some of these. A must during holiday time??
Storm
-
storm these are not movies but i remeber one when i was very little that was one of my favorites.
the night the animals talked.
frosty the snowman
and rudolph the red nosed reindeer
and pete i also liked "a charlie brown's christmas"
-
My husband looks forward to the annual screening of The Great Escape and sulks if they don't show it! I have been driving him nuts as every time he comes home I leave the Christmas film chanel on so that he walks into happy smiling kids and images of Santa!
-
The Hebrew Hammer....a parody that hits almost every stereotype, so cheesy its funny.
-
"Bah! Humbug!"
Pauline .. you kow that kind of attitude. We may have to get Burgermeister Meisterburger after you!! He he he... Anyone know where that is from??
Lexi .. what can I say. To some maybe they are not movies. YET as a kid growing up.. They were just as entertaining, and seemed as long. As any other movies. (Course in part due to a butt load of commercials.. LOL)
I did say animated movies ok ..... So if we can have Shrek, Kung Fu Panda, and disney movies here. Why not the animated short holiday classics??
Speaking of disney and classics ... Historical one.. Johhny Tremain .. Nice take on the early revolutionary war.. era. Kind of styles of life, and pre war ideals, and how things began.
Storm

the shawshank redemption
the green mile and
million dollar baby

'The Fearless Vampire Killers' is probably the one movie I've seen most often.

'The Fearless Vampire Killers' is probably the one movie I've seen most often.
Now is that a legit horror movie or something of a spoof?? Eurohorror?? Just the name. Reminds me of the Peter Vincent character.. in a VERY good movie.
Fright Night the original .. have not seen the sequal yet. Think he was going by Peter Vincent, great vampire killer.... Hmm Ya know.. probably going to watch that one again this weekend!!
Good mix of comedy.. as well as some very good vampire bits and effects.

Nightmare before christmas
Shania .. have to agree with you on this one.. OMG some of the songs just stick in your head days after watching it. HAVE not heared it.. YET know they did a re-make of the songs from soundtrack on cd. With star/ big name artists ... doing the songs. May have to check that out if still available.
HAVE to add this if not mentioned before... ACE VENTURA PET DETECTIVE!! Jim Carey at some of his best over the top antics... Laces out!!
Storm

Lexi have to admit.. still very tempted to get some of the UNiversal monster collections.. Like Frankenstein, dracula, Wolfman and creature. All have the original classic movie... Then extra sequals or movies using same characters in them.
The originals .. definately well done.. THEN you get into some of the silly stuff... Like Dracula vs Jesse James ....
Myself guilty fan of the Godzilla movies... Love the old stuff, where Godzilla almost dances an irish jig, when winning a battle... Destroy all Monsters.. Just cause it was like a who's who of the monster movies.

Gallipoli

The Power of One
The Last Waltz
All are very different yet each manages to strike a chord without being pretentious.

Gallipoli .. which war is this based on?? Also isn't their more than one version of this?? An original and another one maybe made in the 90'S??
Have not seen it, so more info please!!
Storm
And poor aussies fighting at the other side of the world for british empire...Lots of people died during that war..
WW1, the coming of age of Australia as the Anzacs are sent to fight the turks.
Has a young Mel Gibson in it as a supporting actor.
"Two Australian sprinters face the brutal realities of war when they are sent to fight in the Gallipoli campaign in Turkey during World War I."

The Hobbit !!
Yep saw it tonight finally ... YES it is part of trilogy.. so has a stopping point. You have to wait for the next movie to pick up.
Will NOT give any spoilers.. other than you do see some familiar faces. From the recent trilogy.. in fact opening ties nicely into that.
I will say,, it is very impressive. Some of the scenery or settings are amazing. Trying to tell which is actual, and which is special effects. Not as easy, as the old Sinbad the sailor movies. I still watch now and then.
Such clear images, and so vibrant at times. Almost seems to pull you into the landscape or action.
Needless to say.. Probably will catch 1 more time in the theater. Yes I will buy it on dvd when time. Plus I will for sure, see the next one, if at all possible. When part 2 hits the theaters.

I know I am a lil late on these but I always watch the first and last showing of A Christmas Story....it's a tradition now.

Lets start from the bible I mean From Russia with love
Then follows Scarface , all the Ocean 11 movies because lots of movies stars and very clever script,a scifi epic Dune by David Lunch,all LOTR,STAR WARS,STAR TREK
movies remind me my childhood,loved the last FAST and FURIUS 5 film
and of course AVATAR especially on 3d is amazing.
Last but not least KILL BILL 1,2 8)
Nice diverse group .. BTW NEW Star Trek movie supposed to be out this summer... saw small trailer.. Did not reveal much.. yet looked interesting. This going off the most recent younger/ in time cast of course.
Storm
-
With the Star Trek .... you have to admit... It has got to be almost impossible. Trying to do a story setting.. BEFORE almost all the series or original movies have taken place. To try and not mess with continuity or things that happened in them.
Think that was one of the same problems the Enterprise series with Scott Bakula had. Think someone even got ticked it did something. That went against facts given in the old animated series.
I probably will enjoy this movie. Yet I am not the rabid, have to know every fact, and speak Klingonese trekkie fan.
Storm
-
and of course AVATAR especially on 3d is amazing.
Avatar? I don't know, I liked it the first time I saw it when it was called Dances with Wolves
But personally I would say that the movie I love to watch over and over again would be the Princess Bride. When Peter Falk says his "as you wish" line at the end, it always makes me a bit teary eyed, have to confess. Inconceivable!!!
MARCI welcome to the growing Princess Bride fan group here... Nice to see through this thread. That is mentioned often. Have to go now ... StarBear is getting ready to push me down the hill again!! LOL
Storm
-
yes,,over and over again! and bit About the same things Over and over again

Maltese Falcon - The Third Man- With Russia with love
You know Raker .... If your name was Sam. THAT would work great liking to watch another of Bogarts classics Casablanca as much.
Then it would just be play it again Sam!!
I have to say. I wonder just how many times now. Peter Lorre's character has been mimicked from Maltese Falcon by now?? Nice group of classics.
Storm
-
EXPAND this out a little ....
First Previews N sequals .... See any trailers or know of any coming out soon. That look good to you, true to character??
Maybe sharing it here. Will let a fan know it is heading to theaters soon.
Still waiting to see something for the upcoming NEW Die Hard movie.
BTW add those to some of my fave, watched more than once movies!!
Have seen a NEW version of Lone Ranger is due out this summer.. WITH Johhny Depp .. AS Usual in full makeup.. As Tonto. Not sure if this is going to be comical take on it or serious from trailer scene with Depp. Seems to have Tonto almost looking like a mystic or medicine man.
ALSO Fave lines from a movie .... Leave it here ... See if any other members also fans, and can name the movie!!
STARTING with an easy one....
If you can dodge a wrench. You can dodge a ball!! THUNK!!! LOL
Storm
-
Ok another fave.. not sure mentioned before...
Diggstown With James Woods, Louis Gosset Jr, and Bruce Dern. As well as some other well known faces.. Including that very pretty Heather Graham.
Not everyones kind of movie maybe.. YET very nice bit of con gaming going on. From start to finish. They have the 2 sides going back and forth. Just when you think one side has it locked up. The other pulls a fast one.
Some good humor mixed in as well.
Con man Vs Hustler ... as aging boxer is set to fight the small towns best boxers all in one night.
Movie line from something else..
Where is your hand? Between these two pillows ..... "Those aren't pillows!!" (Kind of a guys/ buddy road trip comedy film.)
Storm

FEW fave movie lines.. some of them classic... Can you name the movies??
The Duke leads the league in hit batsmen. Why I even heard he threw at his own kid. In a father son game.

COOL idea Planet of the Apes.. yeahh saw AMC was running a marathon last weekend...
Original has Charlton Hestons character "Get your hands of me you damn dirty apes."
THEN original remake from just few years ago ..... Maybe final role for him.. Had him as an Ape ... giving the line about the damn dirty humans. Think it was ... while lying on his death bed. Disclosing some things before he died.
Talk about long time coming for a major role reversal.

Female character "Today I am."
It's ok Sam he fired his six shots.
Sam: I'm not coming out, until you tell me I can shoot back.

It would be better for you to eat this can, than what is in it. What is this mono su mono so??
"Monosdium glutanate." "You can't even say it."
I can not properly say rat droppings. That does not mean I wish to eat them either.

A Knight's Tale .. with Heath Ledger
Just a great mix ... plenty of action ... very well done humor.. including kicking a knight when he is down... since he shite himself, his spirit is gone, but his stench remains...
Some of that gasppp romance stuff ... a cast that meshes well/ their characters...
OH and yeahhhh a villain you love to hate!!
Well worth a look see .. actually when it was still in theaters. We had the dollar movie one still local. So actually saw this like 3 times, while still on the big screen.

reservoir dogs is one of my fav movies
Deby .... thanks for adding in ... Think you hit on a popular one here. Think more than one, have given this as fave as well.
HAVE to add this in ... more of a mini series. YET they finally have released the 1980's George Washington mini series on dvd.
Stars Barry Bostwick.
This one think they did a great job. Capturing the mindset and views of the time. Shows him in early time, through presidency.
Shows his mistakes, as well as his character and triumphs.
Some of it has been trimmed down, cut from original airing. Yet most of content intact.
Oh and also shows very different ideas, about how original goverment was viewed. TOTALY nothing like the current administration and congress.
Well worth a look, as historical view. From French and Indian wars, through the revolutionary war.

Marci ..... The final quote was from Big Jake ... a John Wayne movie. One of the characters playing one of his sons. (The other played by his real life son Patrick.) Has a new style handgun.
In a moment of confusion, he begins firing it ... Everyone ducks for cover, including into the nearby stream.
Good job on nailing the others. Will try and toss more in soon.
Lexi .. YOU lady, definately have a nice variety your adding in. Like everything else .. you just seem to always pleasingly surprise, with your input.
Another older movie... happened to see again.
The Last StarFighter .... Not a bad early sci fi flick, from the late 80's think it is. Decent cast, and the effects maybe not major UBER franchise like others same time. Still, not bad either.
Storm

OK ...
Some more movie quotes to play with... MaryD simply rocks at these.. Marci not doing bad getting them either!!
1)"All right you primitive screwheads listen up. This is my BOOM Stick!!
2) "No colonel Sanders your wrong, mama is right!!"
3) "Has to do with where choo choo goes .. Mongo not know .. Mongo only pawn in game of life"
4) "You see that flash of light in the corner of your eye?" "That's your career dissipation light." "It just went into high gear."
Ladies guesses on any of these.. OH and YES open to any of you, not just Mary and Marci .. ;)

pulp fiction is my all time fav. But blindside is the 1 i tend to watch over and over again.

Your mentioning of killer semi's Reminds me of Think it was Maximum Overdrive. Where they are trapped in the diner, while the machines are taking over.
Woww Marci slammed the last movie lines quick...
Try a few more, and again MAY not be exact word for word.. doing best/ closest I can from memory. So hope have them close, to true.
1) Dog eat dog?? Dog eat DOG?? George never bring Shep here!!
2) I'm there shaking hands, trying to win over sponsers. Then we come out of this, looking like a monkey trying to fuck a football!!
3) Toepick .... Tooooooepickkkkk .... (then laughter.)
4) Never try and out hustle a hustler. (Reply "I think you mean, never try and out con a conman. Especially when he's better than you."
Ok there you have some new ones to play with!! Telling you if we are choosing teams for movie quotes. Think MaryD and Marci are VERY good at these!!

Hmmmm... you know I think perhaps I might toss a few movie quotes out there and see how it you guys do with it!
1) Lets show this prehistoric bitch how we do things downtown.
2) I find you UNACCEPTABLE!!! If I did not fear incarceration by human authority figures, I apply such pressure to your blunt skull as to cause it's collapse!
3) We are the music makers. We are the dreamers of dreams.
4) Don't piss on my back and tell me it's rainin'
Marci... woww some nice ones ..... Sorry taking this long to reply in here. Hoped some others would tangle with these.
First one.. Ghostbusters
Number 4 sounds very familiar but not placing it.. Soooo MARYD .. where are you?? Need your expertise to help nail more of these from Marci!!

Used to love watching some of the old horror and seemed lot of Hammer horror movies. Saturday early afternoon. Used to have a local based .. (ran on Detroit MI station.) Sir Graves Chastly ... Very cheesy host.. Yet good fun.
Can't think of name of it. One that always kind of weirded me out. Had Peter Cushing in it, maybe Christopher Lee as well.
Some kind of lab experiment gone wrong. Created this things on an island, that sucked the bones out of people. They even had a few drop down out of trees onto them.
Think they were also attacking local cattle or sheep as well. The animals or people, just being found flattened out.
Any one able to come up with that one?? Sure it was probably island of something or other. OF course classic ending. Since the creatures could divide, and make more of themselves. It was fortunate, they happened on an island, small population. Switch to lab larger community. YEP looks like same accident happening. with the closing of.. the end??
Emmett .. thanks for helping put me into the old horror movie mindset there...
Storm

Ok ..
For the very talented and knowledgeable folks here.... A few more movie quotes..
1) This is Achoo, son of Asneeze.
2) I hope your fingers, are'nt tickling my ivory handled colt. Stand up real slow, you just might live through this night.
3) Just let me add another congratulations to Evan backstabber. Pardon me bastard.
4) Nothing like a good piece of Hickory
There ya go .......

I like this topic, but it's a hard choice. Hmmm, Adventure movies, Any of the Raiders of the Lost Ark movies, the Superman movies, most John Wayne movies, the Star Wars series, Casablanca,.....
LOL. Alright I give! I love most good movies (just don't have the time to watch them).
I surrender!

John Wayne movies ..... Just quick heads up ... Depends on your likes. They have just started releasing a bunch of early movies of his again.
Ones that have never been on video or dvd far as I know.
I just got a bunch, through place called movies unlimited. They are on the web ..... out of Pennsylvania think it is.
Anyways they have a large amount listed, decent prices.
ALSO listing 2 or 3 more.. to be released next month or two. They have 8 titles in a series, with him playing same character.
They also do list a lot of older or hard to find titles. Like the George Washington mini-series, with Barry Bostwick I like.
Storm
-
Those John Wayne movies,are they the his old B Westerns from the 1930's? I always thought that those old Westerns were his best. I also like Clint Eastwood,Lee Marvin & Charles Bronson.
Yes these are from late 30's early 40's.
LEXI which version of Island of doctor Moreau?? That one kind of like Mysterious island, and Journey to the Center of the Earth. All seem to get regular re-makes done of them.
Storm
-
Hmmmmm No answers so far on latest quotes .... Not seeing Marci, MaryD or Laurie Breeze giving guesses yet. Main ladies seeming to play along...
YET had to toss this in .. sure Marci would get this in a heartbeat .... Probably Mary and Laurie also ..
Then one day, I was just walking down the street when I heard a voice behind me say, "Reach for it, mister!" I spun around... and there I was, face to face with a six-year old kid. Well, I just threw my guns down and walked away.
Little bastard shot me in the ass.
Just love the set up, then BAM !! LOL

Marci .. GREAT job you got 3 out of 4 .... Will give it a bit, see if anyone can guess last quote .. It is from a very well known movie.
The lovely Cashley Ashley.. has made the scene... leaving links for 2 of her faves .... Translated .. The original Willy Wonka and the Chocolate factory .. As well as Alice in Wonderland.. the live action, Johhny Depp version .. Thanks for adding in Ashley.
MEGAN ... looking like some action movie titles ... Just curious ... did you ever add in Sucker Punch to this thread??
ALWAYS nice seeing you add in!!
Storm
-
THAT was the one and only MEGAN-TASTIC that added in with the Exorcist .... The original Halloween.. THAT also just classic. From the mood settings, to music.
Happened to see it BIG screen again. Kind of a Halloween fright fest, local theater. EVEN as many times, as I have seen it. BACK on the big screen, and in loud stereo. Still managed to activate that GOTCHA reflex now and then.
STAR TREK Dark ... NEW one... saw it saturday.. OHhhhhhhhh my .. Not bad, lot of action, and plots going on. Another who can you trust/ who is good guy or bad guy.
YET with out giving to much away. Figure LOT of the die hard, I speak Klingonese fans. Will HATE this.. simply from the fact. It one, totaly screws with some events, that happen in Original Star Trek movies.
It parallels a CLASSIC scene ... while doing a role reversal.
IT also gives linguistic skills, to one of the characters. That she does NOT have later. Again in one of the original Star Trek movies. There they have her having to use help books, to get it done.
These just few things I was able to notice. So am sure more that I did not.
Soooooooo in itself, an entertaining entry, and movie in the franchise. Yet again, for those die hard.. you HAVE to do it this way Star Trek fans.. I am sure raising issues, with their known facts and issues of franchise history.
Storm

May not be exactly on topic.. Yet since someone brought her up... LOVE Michelle Rodriguez.... PLays a hot chick or bad girl wonderfully. Sexy, with the looks and moves.
YET seems her mortality rate in films, is usually not that good.
Think last Resident Evil movie, they had her die 2 or 3 times.. clones ... Bloodrayne.. killed .. Resident Evil original think it is killed.
Avatar fighter ship shot down ... Those just off the top of my head ...
OK in case I missed this one ... WILLOW ... Disgusting, you're crawling with Brownies!! He he he

the wicker man....nicholas cage version...i think an underrated movie.

the grudge.the 1st one..was one of the better modern haunted house movies.
the ring the 1st one. and
the blair witch project
two of the better modern horror movies

OK
Here is a quote for you to play with... Helps you name another fave movie if you guess which one it is from.
"What I want from each and every one of you is a hard-target search of every gas station, residence, warehouse, farmhouse, henhouse, outhouse and doghouse in that area."
Anyone guess it??
Storm

the wicker man....nicholas cage version...i think an underrated movie.
Lexi, didn't he also do a movie about the burning man?? Am I thinking of the same thing or is Wicker man something different??

-
It's not a movie.. but...
Beyond the Mat
HEY it was released in dvd like movie format right?? Wasn't that kind of following a group of wrestlers, more RL than the entertainment part of the business.
Think it is close enough to count as a fave movie here.
Storm

Top Gun

The Langoliers and The Shawshank Redemption.

The Langoliers and The Shawshank Redemption.

MOVIE quotes to play with again ...
HAD to do this one ...
1)In less than an hour, aircraft from here will join others from around the world. And you will be launching the largest aerial battle in the history of mankind. "Mankind." That word should have new meaning for all of us today. We can't be consumed by our petty differences anymore. We will be united in our common interests. Perhaps it's fate that today is the Fourth of July, and you will once again be fighting for our freedom... Not from tyranny, oppression, or persecution... but from annihilation. We are fighting for our right to live. To exist. And should we win the day, the Fourth of July will no longer be known as an American holiday, but as the day the world declared in one voice: "We will not go quietly into the night!" We will not vanish without a fight! We're going to live on! We're going to survive!
2) Hey kid, you ever dance with the devil in the pale moonlight?
3) (TRICK one here .... more than one movie applies..) KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNN!!
4) I am Archer leader of the Gorgonites.
Can you name the movies they go with??
Storm
-
The Langoliers and The Shawshank Redemption.
Candy .. nice seeing you add in ... Langoliers ... is that based on a Stephen King book?? Sounds familiar, just can not place it.

YES Star Trek 2 Wrath of Khan is right... THE other one.. Star Trek Into Darkness think it is.. The newest one. ALSO uses this line, different character saying it this time.
OK .. HOW about this.. What are some of your FAVE ANIMATED movies??
I will give a few quotes, from some I like.. See if you can guess them OR maybe if they happen to be faves of yours as well.
AGAIN .. MAY not be word for word correct.. YET should be pretty spot on ..
1) Come on princess, I'm just trying to save my ass!!
2) Your a street rat. You were born a street rat. You will die a street rat. With only your fleas to mourn you.
3) I'm Rodney Copperbottom. An inventor here to see mr big weld.
4) Most feared of them all. Was the dreaded night fury!!
5) Look that's Phil's boy!!

JONICA ... I am Soooooooooooooooo wanting to see this now... Hope still in theaters here this weekend. If it is, I am so going to check it out!! Thanks for drawing attention to it!!
Speaking of horror movies... Kind of a less known one... Actually a haunted murder mystery..
The Changeling .. with George C Scott
Not a bad one to check out, if you find it.
Storm

Usually movies I don't mind watching over and over are brainless comedies.
So Airplane, Happy Gilmore, Billy Madison, Top Secret...that kind of thing

Since you had been talking about Airplane.....
Movie trivia time ..
Part of the Ben Hur dvd set, with Charlton Heston ....
Has screen test from none other than Leslie Nielsen ... think for the part of Massala, Ben Hurs rival !!
Can you imagine how that could have played out...
"Surely Massala you can't expect us to dual in chariots!!"
"I do expect it Judah, and stop calling me shirley!!"
Storm
ANY other cool movie, trivia facts from your fave movies??
-
FRIGHT FEST TIME!! SCARY MOVIES ANYONE??
The CONJURING .. finally saw it tonight.. JONICA was Sooooooooooooooooooooo right.. totaly gets off the hook, and in your face.
Once the creepiness began, it was basically hitting you from all angles.. Subtle creepy to WTF major incidents.
Theater was good sized crowd, for late sunday night. Start of the film, loose chatter here and there.. THEN soon as things began happening. they came one after another.. and another.. Just busted you in and kept coming.
Feeling so tense inside theater.. think if someone had farted out loud. Half of them would have left their seats screaming..
Even better being based on real events... For creep out effect and simply screws with your nerves.. Put it up with Original Amityville horror, The fog, poltergeist and exorcist .. Lot of intense and well done scenes for your buck...
THAT said.. anyone else have a fave horror movie, that just makes it hard to sleep after watching??
ALSO preview for movie coming out FRIDAY sept 13th.. Insidious 2 has potential.. Anyone see the original Insidous??
Storm
-
FORGOT To add this...
IF you like based on real event horror/ ghost movies/ stories..... Amityville horror... and the conjuring..
Things you can try and find ...
The Demonologist .. Book by Gerald Brittle MORE cases of the Warrens, including Annabelle if you saw conjuring. Case mentioned at start, told in that book.
The Haunted ... By Robert Curran book
ALSO movie same name.. starred Sally Kellerman think it was... ALSO based on real events... Maybe fave fact MANY witnesses.
Family had fled the home to try and rest. So much activity was going on while NO one was home. Emergency personal had been called by neighbors to the home.

Mel Brooks movies are GREAT for this .... You can watch them over, and over. Still missing a gag or something going on, in the background.
Anyone else have a FAVE movie... they love, and have watched many times. That to your surprise, most recent viewing. You caught something you never noticed before??
Kind of like Wizard of Oz, where thet briefly have the scarecrow packing a gun.
One of my fave movies... Count of Monte Cristo ... Version with Jim Cazaviel ..
Never spotted this, until this time.
The small door, used to slide in food bowl, his cell. At one point, he has his lost fiancess name written on it.
ANYONE else.. care to try for the Catfights EAGLE EYE award. For catching something new, a fave movie of yours??
Storm

I just watched Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgandy.......for the 6th time...its still as funny as the first time :)
I could most Will Ferrell movies.....
and storm I agree with you.....I loved the newer "The Count of Monte Cristo" w/Jim Cazaviel....I think it was awesome and have watched it 3 times now :)

Let's go we're burning daylight!! Just curious is that the Cowboys movie you listed?? If so yeahhh great add, plus Bruce Dern plays a villain very well. PLus gets a LOT more screen time, than he did in War Wagon...
THREE MUSKETEERS ... Was in the sword and time period mode.. Soooo after Count of Monte Cristo watched this again.
Tim Curry always his best, as a villain!!
"Now only a fool would try and arrest us twice in the same day." "By order of the cardinal, your under arrest!!"
Looking at each other... "A fool!!"
Great cast ... some good lines, and very well done action scenes.

All-time fav movie is titled The Beating of Sadie. Starring yours truly the *mazing* one. It's a short film. ;D
NOT sure how this one goes ... Have seen from both sides.. YET I think a Mandy VS Sadie movie would be great.... Just needs to be in 3D !! That way you get to see both lovely ladies up close and personal, as they bring the battle!!
Halloween original ... one of the best ever .. hands down... Everything from the settings, music, acting... just nailed it.
The Fog ... the oroginal.. HATED the re-make... Was so psyched to see it. Figured all the new special effects tech could rock. Then they had to screw with the storyline... totally killed it for me.
Being honest here ... when seeing this movie early maybe 2nd or 3rd viewing. Living in a residential neighborhood... that night we had a fog build outside.. could NOT see the houses across the street.
Talk about mood setting!!
Again Carpenter at his best... music playing on your nerves just right.. subtle... then Bang ..... bang.. something is about to happen!!
Storm
-
OK ..... SUPERHERO TIME !!! Making it's way out Thor dark world think it is...
FEEL free to post your opinion... soon as some of you get to check it out!! That in mind... what about fave superhero movies?? Have to admit, think Marvel rocks the movies, While Dc characters seem to own t.v. series.
ALSO what about ones you may not have enjoyed the most?? Have to admit, I am SOooooooooooooooo burned out on superman movies.
Just tired of every time.. having to go through his arrival and origin again, and again, and again. Have not bothered with Man of Steele.
Just seems to be a retread of Superman 2 with Christopher Reeve.
Although admit interested in a Batman/ Superman meeting movie.
So for now instead of welcome to Metropolis.... Would rather get to take a trip through Sadieville!! Hey she may not be super, but I think she is awesome!! He he he.
Storm
-
The Bat is the best hands down sorry about that Sadie :P
-
Avengers, or The Punisher for me:)
Sarah.... nice seeing you list the punisher. Figure your thinking of the Thomas Jane version... Did you know Dolph Lundgren also did a version years before??
SADIE .. thank you for the key... will treasure it always... IF you want less than serious... probably Batman movie for you. Would be the one, with Jim Carey playing the Riddler.... some dark moments. Yet also a lot of sillyness along the way.
ANY Hulk fans out there?? Which is your fave version?? What about if the other guy shows up??

LAST weekend.. THOR DARK WORLD.... Very enjoyable...
Lot of nice humor blended in with everything.. Kat Dennings.. THIS lady is HOT!! Even dressed low key and non sexy.. You can just tell. When she wants to.. she can blow other ladies away easy!!
Have to admit.. some of the in flight fight scenes... in asgard.. Reminded me of star wars battles.....
Lot of action.... and definate set ups, for things still to come.. Even has some cameos few other characters..
Lone Ranger... OK basically if you have seen Pirates of the Carribean.. Same base core.... Depp N Bruckheimer.. So much of the humor is same style....
Decent storyline... YET again.... some very weird moments now and then. Courtesy of Verbinksi, Depp and company..
Thor definate would watch again... Renee Russo totally surprised me... did not even recognize it was her.. as Frigga. Maybe the long blonde hair fooled me.

Taking part with the Tramps in Rattlesnake Gultch has brought back memories so precious to me....
They go beyond mere words....and emotions....
it takes me back to a time when a little girl would sit with her wonderful father....on Saturday...and/or Sunday mornings....and watch old movies.....and listen to him recite lines he knew..and tell stories of actors.....
His favorite...and mine......and I am often asked this.....
Is.... "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance"......
My father was an attorney.......and was named Rance after Jimmy Stewart's character.....Ransom Stoddard
I watch it today.....and the last scene...the last line..... never ceases to make me tear up.....
"Hallie...Who put the rose on Tom's coffin?"
"I did"
Still has that same effect....
I miss you Dad...

The Money Pit ..w/Tom Hanks has always been 1 of my fav movies.....loved the scene where he gets stuck in a rug ..literally in the floor which had a hole...when his wife finally came in and couldnt find him at first , he said " thank god your here, I thought the care bears were here" ...I may not have that exactly right...but it was a hilarious scene...especially since she could hear him but couldnt find where he was..from being stuck in the floor ;D
Yeahhhh but they will have the house fixed in two or three weeks.. no problem... I loved the ongoing event, where he got stumbling along, scaffolding collapsing.. Finally he ended up in the fountain, after getting covered with stuff. Looking like a ghost. To have the statue appear to pee on him, the final insult to the mayhem.
NEXT weekend... Hobbit The Desolation os Smaug!! Saw online an airline in New Zealand.. actually has likeness of Smaug painted on the side of the plane.
Imagine coming out of the clouds... to see that heading in the other direction... Oh stewardess... half your passengers just pissed themselves!! LOL
Look for article looks impressive on the plane.

One I would watch over and over because of its majesty....and its an epic...
"55 Days At Peking"
55 Days at Peking is a 1963 historical epic film starring Charlton Heston, Ava Gardner, and David Niven, made by Samuel Bronston Productions, and released by Allied Artists.
55 Days at Peking is a dramatization of the siege of the foreign legations' compounds in Peking (now Beijing) during the Boxer Rebellion which took place in 1900 China. It is based on the book by Noel Gerson.
Fed up with foreign encroachment, the Dowager Empress Tzu-Hsi uses the Boxer secret societies to attack foreigners within China, leading to the siege and subsequent direct intervention by foreign expeditionary forces which were dispatched to put down the rebellion. The film concentrates on the defense of the legations from the point of view of the foreign powers, and the title refers to the length of the defense by the colonial powers of the legations district of Peking.
Ava Gardner is glorious and beautiful......and Heston is at his best....
David Niven maybe steals the movie as the head of the British legation...
For a bit of history.....and for pure majesty......."55 days At Peking" ....does it

One from the Michelle Old Movie Archives....
I am a huge Micheal Caine fan.....and I was curious what was his first role in the movies......and it turned out to be a great one many haven't given much thought to...
The movie was "Zulu"...released in 1964 and starring Stanley Baker, Micheal Caine, Jack Hawkins and Nigel Greene. The movie is based on historic fact and is a true story...which attracted me to it....
On the January 22nd 1879 the British Army suffered one of its worst defeats in history when Zulu forces massacred 1,500 of its troops at Isandlhwana in Natal Province, South Africa. A short time after the main battle a Zulu force numbering in excess of 4000 warriors advanced on a British hospital and supply dump guarded by 139 Welsh infantrymen at a place called "Rourke's Drift". The film concentrates on this bloody 12 hour battle during which the British force, under their commander from the Royal Engineers ....Lieutenant John Chard (Stanley Baker)...performed valiantly. Chard happened to be in the area building a bridge and happened to be senior to the infantry officer in the area....Lieutenant Gonville Bromhead (Micheal Caine). British troops won 11 Victoria Crosses...the most in any single engagement in British military history in the defense of Rourke's Drift. While taking some liberties with history the film follows reality fairly closely, including matching exactly the identities of the Victoria Cross winners.
Lieutenant Bromhead, who, as an infantry officer, is rather put out to find himself subordinate to an engineer, relents and decides to follow Chard in staying and defending the Drift. Realising that they cannot outrun the Zulu army, especially with wounded soldiers, Chard decides to fortify the station and make a stand, using wagons, sacks of mealie, and crates of ship's biscuit.
Besides just being very well acted, as you'd expect with Baker and Caine....one of the highlights of the movie for me was the music score by the great John Barry. Its stirring and seems to bring every scene to a climax beautifully. The movie is directed by the great Cy Enfield and was the result of some passionate work done by Stanley Baker...who had a fascination with the stand at Rourke's Drift and wanted to make a movie as a tribute to those officers and men who were there. Baker took it on as a personal project....providing some of the funding in collaboration with Enfield.
So much for the genesis of the career of the great Micheal Caine...one of the great actors of our generation.,.....and for a great movie I can watch over and over for its devotion to historical fact.
Its "Zulu"....
For a bit of history and high drama....and a story of bravery of the highest order.......this movie offers that.

Has anyone ever seen Breaker Morant?
-
Breaker Morant is a 1980 film out of Australia that I think is one of the best ever to come out of the country.
it introduced us to Edward Woodard....Jack Thompson...Bryan Brown....all among my favorites....
The story is wonderful...it concerns the 2nd Boer War in South Africa in about 1900...but its not what I would call a "war" film.....far from it......and its a movie I can watch over and over.....its that good...
It is another of those 1980's "Australian Wave" films that came out that were so popular....."Gallipoli"...."The Lighthorseman".....
if you haven't seen it....I highly highly recommend it....

In Shadow Riders.....two of my very favorites...
Tom Selleck and Sam Elliot share almost equal billing as leads

Since it is Christmas and it only comes around once a year, there is one movie that gets aired every year at this time.
National Lampoons Christmas Vacation.
The only enjoyment out of Christmas day is that movie airing every year. The sequel wasn't as good. It was funny in some parts but couldn't rise to the original.

BEST thing to try since a LOT of older movies making it onto dvd or blue ray these days.. Simply do a search at ebay or Amazon.com
Does not mean you have to purchase it there. Helps using filters .. movie/dvd and so on, when looking.
Just seems to work, as a great search engine .. to find out. If certain titles have been put on dvd. Other thing that sucks.. is some only like a made to order, not mass release OR they only show for a short time. Then dvd version is out of print as well.
All the marbles.. Peter Falk?? Anyways.. think I did see that recently pop on dvd.. So maybe give it a check see.
Good luck with that title...
Myself again... Avengers Keep watching it.. LOVE some of the subtle humor mixed in ... Hulk/ Banner seems to get a lot of that.
You mean they want me enclosed and underwater? Then it begins lift off.. (Ohhh yeah this is much worse... )
I saw it all, you came down, big, green, and buck ass naked. You one of them? You know an alien? No .. Well then son I would say, you have a condition.
OK helps you have Coby Smulders, Scarlett Johansen, and Pepper Potts character as eye candy as well. He he he

just bought "All the Marbles " on Amazon this week..hopefully will get here for the weekend ! ;D
another 1 of my favs has to be the classic "Cool Hand Luke" ..some really memorable and classic scenes...especially 1 w/a very bodacious blonde who comes outside to wash her car while the chain gang is working outside on a swelteringly hot day...not sure if she planned it this way..but she had all eyes on her and her buttons on her shirt were popping loose as she leaned over to soap up her car , getting a lot of the suds on her shirt n jeans as well. And of course the actor Strother Martin has his classic line ..which I'm sure we all can relate to ...."What we have here is (dramatic pause)..faiure...to communicate " . Truly a classic movie ;D
YAYYYY so I was right, I did see that out. Glad you found it!! Kind of how I felt. When Sackets was finally released on dvd!!
THAT line Strother Martin .. used as opening of early Guns and Roses song .. I am sure if she is peeking in. Michelle could probably name the song...

I loved that movie! But most people around here have never heard of it. Of course I'm a bit of a Terry Gilliam and things like that fan.
I saw CA:TWS twice on opening weekend. OMG, as a lifelong comic book fan whose top two favorite heroes include Captain America, I was blown away and amazed. I have to say I love what they've done with Falcon and it felt like they set this one up like Empire Strikes Back. You just know there's going to be a third movie and that it will rock.

The Falcon interpretation was friggin' AMAZING.
They got rid of the entire Captain America White Man's Burden aspect and made Flip a kick-ass self-starter with fucking jet wings and goggles and machine pistols.
Also, I was pleased with how well that movie stood up - it was a great sequel to the First Avenger, it was a great tie-in to The Avengers, and it was a fucking fantastic movie on its own lights.
AND THEY NAMEDROPPED STEPHEN STRANGE! And kind of Moon Knight!

Exactly! I loved that Sam wasn't 'Snap' and held up as an asskicker in his own right. Soldier of yesterday teams up with soldier of today. I love it. Tremendous sequel to both movies, loved the call backs to First Avenger, want to see more of Agent 13. Loved how it just radically changed what's going on in Agents of SHIELD.
I want to see a Dr. Strange movie, for sure. Things look bright for the MCU and for comic book fans as well

Already looking for a third Thor.. Since they left Loki on asgards throne end of recent one.. Like many being a fan of comics.. LOVING seeing so many of these come to life.. Especially as good as they are doing them.
HAVE to admit... think attempt at Ant Man could tank.... LOT of other heroes they could go with.

BTW Thanks for feedback on Cap you 2 .. YEAHHH Purple Vixen saw your wonderful self here also.

I have faith in Ant Man. They have Edgar Wright directing and I love Shawn of the Dead, Hot Fuzz and the World's End...Paul Rudd as Scott Lang could give it some more comedic moments. It'll be interesting to see Michael Douglas as an older Hank Pym.

With Paul Rudd on board I was ACTUALLY hoping they were going to bust out Eric O'Grady and the Irredeemable Ant-Man, ogling Miss Marvel in the showers and whatnot. But Scott Lang is a good second choice.
It provides opportunity for GREAT effects, with the micro-cosm he lives in, and his first appearance with the Avengers will be friggin' fantastic.

I wish they would bring on a Miss Marvel ... Think maybe Brooklyn Decker from BattleShip could fill out her costume very nicely. Have to say think my fave outfit for her.. The Black, with gold like lightning bolt down the front. Almost like a single piece swimsuit look main piece.
Any other face Avengers you would like seeing made reality, as well as who should play them??
With Ant Man are they doing an intro for Janet Van Dyne?? The Wasp??

Well Scott Lang is an ex-con, so they may do a melding of the two. I liked Irredeemable Ant-Man because it seemed more realistic (you can shrink, what do you do?).
All in all, I like the slow roll out Marvel is doing with their universe, now if only Sony and Fox can get on the ball and expand their universes.
-
I'm 99% sure that Sony and Fox will not be introducing ANY other character than what were specifically allowed in their initial contracts with Marvel - since the Mouse now runs the Merry Marching Marvel Society with an iron white glove, they're going to lock that shit DOWN until the contracted films are made and they can relaunch the X-Men and Spidey as THEIR properties.
Which is too bad, because we'll lose Hugh Jackman's Wolverine and Alfred Molina's Doc Ock and Kelsey Grammer's Beast, but good because we'll also lose Eric Forman as Venom and Ken Leung as Spiky Hug Guy (why did the third movies in those series suck so awfully?).
-
We may be waiting a bit for Disvel (Or Marney..what's a good portmanteau for House of Mouse and House of Marvel?) to get their hands on the properties that Sony and Fox have. It sounds like as long as they make movies within a certain time, the deal renews. That's why Fox is trying to get an FF movie going. I have to say though I like the idea that all 3 studios have their own universe of heroes. I think it's pretty apparent from watching Agents of SHIELD and the end scene of CA:TWS that there are no mutants in that 'verse. It'll make for unique experiences all around.
In anticipation for Amazing Spider Man 2, I've been watching Sam Raimi's Spider Man. It was a great kick that the movie momentum needed to get Marvel stuff going.
-
Have to admit one character I would love seeing. Would be the Enchantress in the Thor settings.. Would have to take one very hot lady. To get away, casting spells and wearing that sexy outfit.
Jessica Drew SpiderWoman another sexy and able to be bad ass female.
There are a bunch of characters out there. That are not contracted into any current runs so far. Felicia Hardy the Black Cat would look great, styling and stealing her way through a spider man.
If they do Fantastic Four again .. Would be great adding some of the Inhumans ... as well as She hulk .. Who was member at times.

Scott Lang was also in the extended FF, for that matter. And so was Moon Knight, who was tangentially referenced in the new movie.
Frankly, if Disney is going full on B-side shit with Guardians of the Galaxy and the Collector and so forth, I want them to do a Heroes for Hire movie. Fuck yes. The time is now for Heroes for Hire - because the first one could be the origins, meeting, initial fighting and then joining up of Iron Fist and Power Man, and then the sequel could be like fucking Mysterymen and bring in all those street-level heroes who have done work for Heroes for Hire over the years. The Daughters of the Dragon. The Prowler. Shang Chi. Black Knight. Darkhawk. Show Falcon getting some side gigs with them between working with Cap.

Slither to me was great B-movie horror genre pure fucking fun, although the movie was a commercial failure. The set it up in the post credits scene with a cat nibbling on the parasites's remains and it becomes infected as the guy did at the beginning of the movie to become this tentacled almost slug like creature was a great set-up. The stage was set for a sequel but I wouldn't hold my breath. Not gonna happen when a movie loses money.
Its still a gross out monsterously funny alien invasion zombie type horror flick and I thought it succeeded at that.
Guardians of the Galaxy is being set up to be the Marvel Hit of the Summer and I'd be shocked if it didn't succeed. James Gunn will be directing it too and he will have a much bigger budget than he had on Slither.
Watch this one......it might just blow us all away if they put the money and the right minds and tech behind it.
I'm crossing my fingers for a fun ride thru the galaxy :)

Keeping the Easter Tradition I say King of Kings I watch every time it is on. I do enjoy a good Marvel or DC comics themed movie :)

I put my favorite movies in 2 eras....I'll call them simply...old...and new.
Old can go back as far as silent films....I am an old movie buff and collector as many know.
The old movie that still blows me away......and still gets me every time......is...
"The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance"
James Stewart (vintage Stewart)...John Wayne...Vera Miles...Thomas Mitchell....Lee Marvin
Its so much more than a western....give it a shot....I bet you'll like it.
Its best remembered for a line hear the end of the movie I will never forget....
"When the legend becomes fact......print the legend"

My favorite Easter movie is "RoboCop". The original.
It's a messianic story! Watch it! He's tortured, resurrected, and at the end, he walks on water.

as for more modern movies....
Any of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" movies...preferably all.....will suffice....
it just doesn't get any better and its pure fucking fun :)

Heroes for hire kind of like extended lets see how feedback is for this character .. Kind of like how about Defenders? Doctor Strange, and at times Valkyrie, Namor, Hellcat, Silver surfer even. Shang Chi and Iron Fist in more recent incarnation.
Heroes has used a lot of characters including Silver Sable, Paladin, Punisher, even Spider Man making the scene. Group core, then you can add any surprise guests into the mix.
BTW they Soooooooooooo need to do a sequal to MysteryMen .. He's the shoveler, he shovels well .. That's his power.

Vixen, Marvel announced they're doing Netflix tv shows featuring New York street level characters. In 2015 we'll see "Daredevil" "Jessica Jones" "Iron Fist" and "Luke Cage" following up with a mini series called "The Defenders" I think each show will be 13 episodes with the Defenders being a miniseries.
I have a new movie I like watching this time of year. "Hop".
-
I liked Hop but all the adorable CGI movies start to run together after a while. I kind of wish people would do some regular animation again so the styles would be a little more distinct. I can tell The Little Mermaid apart from The Land Before Time just from the color palette of a landscape shot, let alone the characters involved.
... I'll accept a Netflix mini-series, but Power Man and Iron Fist are really perfectly suited for a big-screen buddy movie.
-
But right now a really fun series/movie on Netflix is 'House of Cards" with Kevin Spacey
it is truly awesome and there is no better contemporary villain than Kevin Spacey...
Check this one out...you'll love it!
Showtime's "House of Lies" is hard to beat too...its fanfuckingtastic...Don Cheadle and kristin bell....check it out!

Don Bluth also has a recognizable style, much like Ralph Bakshi. CGI stuff isn't really lending itself to styles so far.
I'd could see Ray Park and Dwayne Johnson as Power man and Iron Fist on the big screen. But I am glad to see them try and do something to expand the reach of their characters. I'm assuming these characters will be part of the MCU as well.

Happened to look at cast list for new X-men heading out .. Sighhhh does not seem like Emma Frost among them... They do have Kitty Pryde/ Shadow cat .. Yet no white witch..
Think they need to do a movie, x-men getting away from Magneto for a change. Maybe using the hellfire club instead.

Which is weird, because there's no reason it SHOULDN'T. If anything, 16 billion colors and infinite sightlines of the digital space should allow for tremendous individual expression, but everyone ends up rigging the same sort of skeletons with the same sort of uncanny valley shiny figures.
You know what DID have a distinctive maintained style, in both design and color range? The Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs series. Fucking fantastic movies, way better than I anticipated.

Well with computer graphics, many times it's a function of the software and hardware you have. I really want to see Mr. Peabody and Sherman when it's on Redbox so I can tell if they kept the style of the tv series. Cloudy was really different in great ways I agree. I just think sometimes the CGI folks get too wrapped up in the themes of the animation instead of taking chances with lighting and colors. Sleeping Beauty is one of my favorite movies because it does run a gamut of styles and the music and animation all create perfect mood swings along the way.

Very good animated..... for starting to use mix of cgi and traditional Was Treasure Planet from disney ...

As usual some amazing backgrounds .. A very interesting twist on the classic tale. You can tell, some people really had begun playing with blends of classic animation, mixed with CGI.
Think it was about the same time Titan A.E. came out, different studio. Another space epic, that worked between both medias.
Happened to catch Captain America Winter soldier finally ... As usual have to make sure to catch the Stan Lee cameo..
Plus the after credits reveal of soon to be Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch!!
Not hearing anything on it ... Yet kind of feel a vibe.. They need to do Black Widow her own feature. They seem to be using her a lot.
Trailers.... MALIFICENT DAMN this is looking very good!! Godzilla .. Ummmmmm still not sure of.
Guardians of the Galaxy .. Still looking weak .. NOT good when the teaser to catch your attention. Has you still not sure you really want to spend theater money to see it or wait for home release.
THAT said .... DAMN missed something classic around Easter.. Like January princess bride. They did showing of Charlton Heston/ Yul Brynner Ten Commandments restored.
Also did Ben Hur ... Guess I will have to keep an eye out next year this time.

That's setting the bar very low. I think everyone involved should apologize to Jean Reno for having his awesomeness wasted in that dreck.
Have you seen the trailer for Asia? It has a little more in it that makes me even more stoked for the film.
-
Jean Reno at least made his scenes watchable. His pointless, pointless scenes in a basketball arena filled with raptors.
Here's a Godzilla movie - half of it is a romantic comedy with a pudgy Ferris Bueller and half of it is a cheap Jurassic Park remake with lots of Knicks product placement.
In between there's an iguana eating fish.
Jesus.
Yeah, the new one looks pretty fucking incredible.
I mean, it's gonna have to try pretty hard to beat Godzilla: Final Wars for ME, at least, but it looks like it'll give it a try.

Final Wars was amazing, but I'm a sucker for some good old Kaiju Wrasslin'. I'm hoping this one delivers.
-
It's too much to hope for other kaiju for the first movie, PROBABLY. It looks like the classic Godzilla vs. Armies of Man set-up. I do like how the Americans hear that there is some sort of radioactive colossus destroying entire countrysides and razing cities like the Romans taking Carthage, and their first thought is -
PARATROOPERS.

Kind of like fastest elimination in a royal rumble match.... Enters the ring.. Gets grabbed and tossed out the other side..

Since several of you seem to be G-fans ... maybe check a few other monsterous areas with you... See if you know anything about these 2.
Mothra ... Yes they did do some fairly impressive, hi tech modern movies. Starring the giant winged moth. Yet not sure they ever revealed all in storyline... Had Battra?? earth guardian beaten.. Mothra supposed to head into space. To take that monsters place. Facing some future threat. Yet not sure they ever revealed what it was or completed it.
Gamera.... Same thing... they did a few more modern ones with this character.. (BTW nice little add in, one of the Zilla movies. Having part of a giant turtle wash up, having been killed at sea.
Anyways.. they began revealing Gamera was some kind of Atlantean super weapon .. Last one seen. Had him battling this seemingly unbeatable foe. That kept reproducing itself.... Ending, with a need one more to fnish arc.. Yet not sure this one got completed either.
PHANTASM.... Horror and gore fans.. YES they are finishing up.. A NEW.. and supposedly final movie to story arc. Phantasm Ravager?? Think it is.
Ok ... nuff for now ..
Storm

A new Phantasm? I was never really sure what that spiky ball brought to the table that we couldn't from the Hellraiser series.

Adding in a very creepy angus scrimm (Tall man)... mausoleums and wonderfully creepy settings ... Entire small towns disappearing populance. Brain drilling spheres .... and yeahhh those creepy non human dwarf creatures ,,, Gotta admit .. very good for that weird you out feelings. Way before they had the tech to play with. Like Hellraiser or those Japanese like Ringu and others.
For when this series began .. It set the pathways.. for something new and unique. Among the horror genres at the time.
Storm
-
... all right, clearly I need to watch Phantasm again.
Know what I wanna see a remake of? Puppet Master. I loved the first five or six of those.
I have a Blade puppet toy somewhere, I think ...

You still may not get it tho. Many of the tropes Phantasm created seem sterotypical of the genre now when it was new back then.
-
The original Phantasm ... Will admit by todays tech and effects may seem a bit clunky in parts ... Not sure if it is first or the sequal. Where guy tries lopping off his own hand, pinned, as the sphere closes in, for a head shot.. Was kind of nice... even the villains own workers. Could be subject to being killed, from those nasty weapons. He he he.
Still as they got into the sequals it really did get into some creep you out eerie groove. Part of it simply foreshadowing or letting you know things or showing you enough. That your mind takes over. Like following the trail of the Tall man... through small towns. Where all the people had been harvested or left in hiding.
PuppetMaster agree something very different ... as well.
BTW ok hearing some pros and some cons ... Anyone yet actually seen new spider man?? Thoughts and comments from that??
Storm
-
I'm being judicious with my movie budget this year. Saw Captain America because he's my favorite Marvel. Passing on seeing Spider Man because I see Gwen Stacy falling in the trailer. Nothing good happens when Gwen Stacy is falling. So I'm waiting on DVD for that one.
I am going to go for Godzilla and if I like it, I will throw all my money at it so it is a blockbuster. Then I have to see X-Men: DOFP because it looks awesome. Also need to see Guardians of the Galaxy. Edge of Tomorrow looks good. And and and...see my issue. This looks like a really good year for movies.

ALien .. spawned a LOT of imitators.. Yet definate high marks for suspense!! Loved Aliens .... Anyone see Prometheus?? Supposed to kind of be prequal to Alien series..
Another fun one.. Anyone else fan of Resident Evil series?? BTW Anyone know how many times Michelle Rodriguez has died in the series now??
I think she is hot .. yet she ALWAYS seems to die in her movies ...
Thinking I am going to do like Red and pass on Spider man in theater.. Someone mentioned maybe like sinister six in comics. They do unleash several villains. Yet short and only near the end ...
Godzilla will wait... maybe in theater depends on word of mouth.. Know a few major G-fans.. One even had artist draw him, standing by Godzilla like they were buddies. At comicon one year. KNOW they will have to go!!
Transformers dinobots .. Will probably hit in theaters.. Though I think all the main decepticons I knew. Got dusted in first trilogy. So wonder who will lead the enemy forces.

That and I have to agree about theater sounds.. OMG how incredible could G-Zilla Final Wars or S.O.S. Tokyo be with that sound system??
Some movies just can't be matched, without the large screen and theater sound ... Twister kicked ass in the theater.. Not sure who is a fan of them..
YET if they have ANY brains at all .. LORD of the Rings.. Definately needs to be re-released in order, in theaters. After third installment of Hobbit is done.
THEY would make a fresh killing!! Some of those charges and epic battle scenes.. ONLY big screen can do justice to.
That would probably recapture a LOT of the costs of making Hobbit, if they do.

The Hindenburg disaster LOOKED very impressive, but really it was just quick-burning hydrogen and doped painted canvas and wood struts. While that would not be GREAT for the Titanic's paint job, it certainly wouldn't sink it. And people would be able to jump off into the water and be much finer than they were in the freezing north seas.
And if the Hindenburg went down over the water even more people would have survived than the 62 who survived versus 36 fatalities in the original disaster.
Would've been a godsend for the zeppelin passengers, really.

Red: "There's not a day goes by I don't feel regret. Not because I'm in here, or because you think I should. I look back on the way I was then: a young, stupid kid who committed that terrible crime. I want to talk to him. I want to try and talk some sense to him, tell him the way things are. But I can't. That kid's long gone and this old man is all that's left. I got to live with that. Rehabilitated? It's just a bullshit word. So you go on and stamp your form, sonny, and stop wasting my time. Because to tell you the truth, I don't give a shit."

So I really dug the new Godzilla. The theme of this one was "gods", and they really drove it home. Godzilla is not just a monster - he's a pure force of nature, bringing huge waves and enormous storms and ravenous darkness with him everywhere he goes, and they really hit that motif beautifully. Godzilla is not a friend to children or a defender of the world's people - he is a ancient world's god, and he has a duty that he performs, relentlessly and without hesitation.
And the trailer scene with the scary chorus and the guys doing the HALO into San Francisco while the monsters destroy it was just as good as it looked.
I was pleased. It just needed more of the original Godzilla theme and they shouldn't have fucked with his roar so much. They put in too much of the Jurassic Park T-rex.

I quote you
"Godzilla is not a friend to children or a defender of the world's people - he is a ancient world's god, and he has a duty that he performs, relentlessly and without hesitation"
I wonder if Godzilla is truly an ancient world's god...or is Godzilla merely the product of a modern world's technological obscenities and expansionists tendencies run amok?
Just sayin...

In this movie's case, he is both - an ancient god awakened by modern technology.

OK checked out the big G tonight .... Kind of nice seeing they do touch back on some of origins.
Early Godzilla was in part an earth guardian. Defending against other monsters yes.. One reason he began rampaging against men. Was due to their waste, and wounding of the planet. Through nuclear technologies and other harmful practices.
Nice seeing can be an ally as well as enemy again. Later Toho movies had him just a rampaging force. That kind of lost it's purpose.
ALSO notice possible foreshadowing to Mothra ..... in this one.. anyone else catch it?? Mothra also considered a god by the island inhabitants, that worship her.
Latest creature.. has some look, back to Destroyah .. Yet also it's own creation. Think they used the Emp surge idea, with alien in Godzilla 2000.
Anyways .. will be interesting to see if they continue. Also if they do ... Which classic monsters may get remake. I did like the updated version of Ghidra in Final Wars. Seemed to be more kick ass, and harder to defeat. Before he turned into the usual dragon look.
Michelle Bikini island ... Before the bomb test back in time .. Sounds like a great place for pirate sluts of the spanish main to hang out!!

Those new monsters were touched upon by Destroyah and Battra, but they were PRIMARILY the Cloverfield monster with scary Decepticon faces.

and in line with that...
"Cloverfield"
The monster came from the Atlantic Ocean, where it was awakened by Tagruato submarines sent down from Chuai Station to investigate. The monster rampages throughout Manhattan, destroying the city in its path. This destruction causes the United States government to sacrifice New York City in an attempt to kill the monster with heavy ordnance in the Hammerdown protocol. Before that, the monster killed Jason Hawkins, crushing him with its tail on the Brooklyn Bridge; its parasites bite Marlena Diamond, causing her to explode from the central cavity; and it bites Hud Platt in half just moments before the Hammerdown protocol.
The whisper after the credits states that the monster is still alive, however, J.J. Abrams states that the military bombing killed the creature. The monster's origins are revealed in Cloverfield/Kishin
The creature, upon arriving to New York City, attempts to eat the Statue of Liberty's head, then throws it into the city when it realizes the head isn't edible. Some say this is a slap at many of the street food vendors in the city (in Manhatten we call them "Road Kill Connoisseurs") and was the first sign of good taste displayed in the Big Apple in decades.
I call it......simply an awesome movie :)
Thank you J. J. Abrams

lets see, monster movies huh, try "Alien" nothing says Entertainment like being in a ship in space alone with a monster that has acid for blood and that human bodys are used to grow it in before it explodes out of said persons chest to take over all life Pass the Nachos and Salsa :P

Aliens ... Did anyone else. See the funny tribute mock-up that Mel Brooks did in Spaceballs?? Ohhh no not again!! He he he
OK was in a hurry .. added this wrong thread.. So dropping it here.
Just watched Fifth Element again .....
Just something about it I like. Kind of it's own quirky thing. With a universe full of aliens N monsters. A slightly younger Milla looking hot in bandages as well.
TOTALLY tried to catch them. Yet never had the chance. This year at Novi actually saw a couple dressed very to the character. Guy was Zorg .. the evil businessman. The lady YEppp dressed as Milla, that outfit, with a bit more covering her. Yet they both came in costume character from Fifth Element.
Never managed to get a pic of them.. saw them seperate briefly, then lost track of them...
Maybe next year ya never know ...
Think the diva getting ready to sing... so quiet in the space cruiser and opera house!! Wink

I finally got around to watching The Amazing Spider-Man. I'd been putting it off because fuck it, how many Spider-Man movies can I take in a decade, but I was very pleased with it, actually. Which makes me all the more disappointed by the terrible reviews for the sequel. But I thought it was a great to have an awkward, geeky teenage Peter Parker with a Brooklyn accent.
And MOTHERFUCKIN' HOMEBREW WEB SHOOTERS. Fuck Raimi's organic jizz-shots, man.

Nope, there was an existing clause in the agreement Marvel has with Fox that some characters can be used by either studio. I do think, considering what we saw in the Winter Soldier credits scene that there are no Mutants in the MCU. Plus Agents of SHIELD was adamant that there were no psychics in that world.

What I want from each and every one of you is a hard-target search of every gas station, residence, warehouse, farmhouse, henhouse, outhouse and doghouse in that area. Checkpoints go up at fifteen miles.
Wonder if he got it right first time... they gave him leeway to add in places to search. Think it could be an easy line to have to redo, mixing up order or forgetting one of them.

Mclintock great for today.... Lot of fun .. fighting. and YES even some very interesting methods on parenting!!
Great cast .. and if you have never seen it .. Give it a chance.
I think one of the things fun about this one. Wayne not above having fun poked at himself or acting fearful of a angry wife.
Maureen O Hara definately went through a lot of ordeals during this as well. Very messy scenes for this elegant, beautiful, and impressive leading lady.

"Dr. Strangelove" - January, 1964
Directed by Stanley Kubrick
Starring:
Peter Sellers
George C. Scott
Sterling Hayden
Keenan Wynn
Slim Pickens
Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb, more commonly known simply as Dr. Strangelove, is a 1964 British-American black comedy film that satirizes the nuclear scare. It was directed, produced, and co-written by Stanley Kubrick, stars Peter Sellers and George C. Scott, and features Sterling Hayden, Keenan Wynn, and Slim Pickens. The film is loosely based on Peter George's Cold War thriller novel Red Alert (also known as Two Hours to Doom).
The story concerns an unhinged United States Air Force general who orders a first strike nuclear attack on the Soviet Union. It follows the President of the United States, his advisers, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and a Royal Air Force (RAF) officer as they try to recall the bombers to prevent a nuclear apocalypse. It separately follows the crew of one B-52 bomber as they try to deliver their payload.
In 1989, the United States Library of Congress included it in the first group of films selected for preservation in the National Film Registry. It was listed as number three on AFI's 100 Years...100 Laughs list.
if you haven't seen this movie.....SEE IT!

Also just passed the 50th Anniversary of Dr. Strangelove on May 16
“Mein Führer, I can walk!” screams Dr. Strangelove (Peter Sellers), the ex-Nazi nuclear scientist, rising from his wheelchair to salute the American President at the climax of “Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb.” Stanley Kubrick’s satirical masterpiece is now a half century old (Film Forum will be playing a new 35-mm. which started May 16), and it remains as outrageously prankish, juvenile, and derisive as ever. Which, given the subject of nuclear annihilation, is exactly right. The movie is an apocalyptic sick joke: the demented general Jack Ripper (Sterling Hayden), who thinks the Commies are using fluoridation to destroy his bodily fluids (he withholds his essence from women), dispatches a group of B-52s loaded with H-bombs to destroy Soviet targets. President Merkin Muffley (Sellers again) tries to recall them; he even helps the Soviet Union to destroy some of the planes. But, after all sorts of misadventures, one B-52 gets through, setting off a Soviet-built Doomsday Machine—chained nuclear explosions assembled in a stunningly beautiful montage, accompanied by Vera Lynn singing the tender ballad “We’ll Meet Again (Don’t Know Where, Don’t Know When).”

Fail Safe - 1964
Fail-Safe is a 1964 Cold war thriller film directed by Sidney Lumet, based on the 1962 novel of the same name by Eugene Burdick and Harvey Wheeler. It portrays a fictional account of a Cold War nuclear crisis. The film features performances by veteran actors Henry Fonda, Dan O'Herlihy, Walter Matthau and Frank Overton. Early film appearances include Fritz Weaver, Dom DeLuise, and Larry Hagman as the President's interpreter.
The story chronicles the vents surrounding an accidental nuclear attack by the U.S. on the Soviet Union and the efforts to stop it and the aftermath. Its as chilling a movie as I have ever seen. I wish everyone would take the time to watch it. it makes you think about a lot of things, especially nuclear war and weapons, in a way you won't ever again.
Matthau is amazing and chilling in his performance, a role most would never dream of him in. He was superb.

In the story, during the early 1960s, Cold War tensions existing between the Soviet Union and the United States are heightened. An accidental thermonuclear first-strike attack by a group of United States Vindicator bombers (Convair B-58 Hustler aircraft) is launched in a mission against Moscow, the capital of what was then the Soviet Union. Then the real nightmare begins......
In 2000, the novel was adapted again as a televised play, starring George Clooney, Richard Dreyfuss, and Noah Wyle and broadcast live in black-and-white on CBS.
The film was shot in black and white, in a dramatic, theater-stage-play format with claustrophobic close-ups and ponderous silence occasionally between several characters. There were no musical underscoring nor were there any music played in any scenes. With few exceptions, the action takes place largely in the White House underground bunker, the Pentagon war conference room, the SAC war room, and a single bomber cockpit (a B-58 "Hustler"). "Real" world life is seen only after the title opening credits and in the final scene depicting an ordinary New York City day, its residents entirely unsuspecting of their imminent destruction, each scene freezing at the moment of impact. No mushroom clouds appear in the film.

TOMBSTONE
The legendary American lawman Wyatt Earp (1848-1929) spent the twilight of his life in Hollywood as a consultant to those filmmakers and actors involved in the nascent years of the Western film. As a seeming function of this, the entertainment industry fanned a fascination with his legend and exploits that would span generations. From My Darling Clementine (1946) to Gunfight at the O.K. Corral (1957) to Hour of the Gun (1967), the studios have never tired of revisiting the Earp brothers' defining 1881 confrontation with the Clanton gang; two separate major studio productions were mounted in the early '90s. The first to arrive, Tombstone (1993), benefited from an impressive array of performers in the major and minor roles and an earnest attempt to give the principals dimension.
The story opens in the titular silver-rich Arizona boom town of 1979 with the arrival of Earp (Kurt Russell) and his brothers Morgan (Bill Paxton) and Virgil (Sam Elliott), all weary of the demands of keeping the civil peace and ready to try their luck at private enterprise. Wyatt isn't in town long before he muscles his way into the faro concession at one of the local watering holes, or before the siblings renew acquaintances with their old friend, the cultivated dentist-turned-gunfighter Doc Holliday (Val Kilmer), and his ladyfriend Kate (Joanna Pacula).
While the Earps' repute gives them a wide berth from the town authorities, it also gains the attention of the ruthless gang of toughs declaring themselves the "Cowboys," who've essentially terrorized the locals with impunity. These red-scarf-adorned proto-gangstas include among their number the vicious Curly Bill Brosius (Powers Boothe), the literate if lethal Johnny Ringo (Michael Biehn), and the cutthroat Clanton brothers, Ike (Stephen Lang) and Billy (Thomas Haden Church). While the Earps are initially determined that law and order should be someone else's headache, they're pushed to the limit by the Cowboys until their celebrated showdown, and the less-celebrated blood vendetta that followed in its wake.
It's all told with fairly painstaking period detail--the cast sweated through wool costuming in the location heat--and by a fairly remarkable roster of players. Besides the aforementioned, significant attention was given to Dana Wheeler-Nicholson as Wyatt's laudanum-addicted second wife Mattie, and Dana Delaney as Josephine Marcus, the free-spirited Jewish actress who would become his companion for the rest of his days. Prominent roles were ably executed by Terry O'Quinn, Billy Bob Thornton, Michael Rooker, Jason Priestley, Billy Zane and Robert Burke, and genre stalwarts like Charlton Heston, Harry Carey, Jr., Pedro Armendariz, Jr., Buck Taylor and Tomas Arana offering their familiar presence. Playing Billy Claiborne was Wyatt Earp, the lawman's namesake fifth cousin.
Kilmer nearly walked away with the picture with his flavorful take on the tubercular gunslinger Holliday. "He was actually a dentist, so he had a mean streak even before he started killing people," Kilmer stated in a 1994 interview with Britain's Film Review. "But he was also an aristocrat, the son of a Georgia mayor--apparently a very witty man, extremely shy unless you insulted him. He knew Latin, and he played classical piano. He's never been portrayed as three-dimensional before.

Why Johnny ringo you look like someone just walked all over your grave.
Had some nice background of the times, as well as the gang the Earps faced. Much larger and involved. Than just the ok coral gunfight.
ANOTHER older classic... that brings to life a few other famous western characters. Chisum with John Wayne ... Think that was the Jonhson county war ... for that one.

The Johnson Co. War was in Wyoming...the subject of the very hyped and poorly received movie.... "Heavens Gate"
The Lincoln Co. Wars were in New Mexico...famous for the participation of Billy the Kidd and Pat Garrett.
John Chisum was a real life businessman/cattle baron who was an unwilling participant in the Lincoln Co. Wars. John Wayne played Chisum in the 1970 movie "Chisum"...which took a lot of liberties with Chisum's actual life. Chisum joined forces with John Tunstill (mentor of Billy the Kid) and Alex McSween against James Dolan in the Lincoln Co. Wars. Tunstill was killed by Dolan's followers which set off Billy the Kid on a life of crime, rumor has it. The Governor of New Mexico at that time, Lew Wallace, helped stop the Lincoln Co. War by giving all participants amnesty.
Ironically, Lew Wallace was the ultimate author of the book "Ben Hur: A Tale of the Christ" We all know where that went I think (remember Chareton Heston?)
Also ironically...Kristofferson was in one movie version of Billy the Kid ("Pat Garrett and Billy the Kidd")...and as I mentioned earlier...."Heaven's Gate".....both busts at the box office.

He actually won a Golden Globe for A Star Is Born. But his main strength was as a songwriter. He was also a Rhodes Scholar, an Army chopper pilot and a hard drinker. Not necessarily in that order ... :)

I dunno if you guys have a Fathom Events movie theater in your area, but RiffTrax, the guys who used to work on Mystery Science Theater 3000, are going to be doing a live riffing of Syfy's dorky masterpiece Sharknado next Thursday and then the following Tuesday.
If you've never been to a live riffing, they are abso-fucking-lutely spectacular.

OK details Ohhhh Purple mistress of knowledge and guidance... I happened to see something advertising Sharknado at local theater. Figured somehow GASppppp a sequal .... had been committed.
Was hoping they did not have the desperation to bring that to the big screen ....
Is it going to be like a mystery science showing..... You have the commentary going, while movie plays??
More info please .... Because the shrapnel driven by hundred mile per hour winds, inside the tornado must not harm them.
Pithy commentary MAY be what is needed to do them in .... LOL :D

Previous post ..... Think it was actually the Lincoln county war ... not Johnson for Chisum ... See what exhaustion does for you??
Storm
Michelle please be your wonderful self, and set the record straight with facts!! 8)
The Johnson Co. War was in Wyoming...the subject of the very hyped and poorly received movie.... "Heavens Gate"
The Lincoln Co. Wars were in New Mexico...famous for the participation of Billy the Kidd and Pat Garrett.
John Chisum was a real life businessman/cattle baron who was an unwilling participant in the Lincoln Co. Wars. John Wayne played Chisum in the 1970 movie "Chisum"...which took a lot of liberties with Chisum's actual life. Chisum joined forces with John Tunstill (mentor of Billy the Kid) and Alex McSween against James Dolan in the Lincoln Co. Wars. Tunstill was killed by Dolan's followers which set off Billy the Kid on a life of crime, rumor has it. The Governor of New Mexico at that time, Lew Wallace, helped stop the Lincoln Co. War by giving all participants amnesty.
Ironically, Lew Wallace was the ultimate author of the book "Ben Hur: A Tale of the Christ" We all know where that went I think (remember Chareton Heston?)
Also ironically...Kristofferson was in one movie version of Billy the Kid ("Pat Garrett and Billy the Kidd")...and as I mentioned earlier...."Heaven's Gate".....both busts at the box office.
MICHELLE YOU ROCK!! Thanks... thinks hectic right now.. barely time to get online. HUggggg THANKS for being the fountain of trivia and knowledge.
Yeah still find it surprising the governor was writer of Ben hur.. Until recently, had always figured it was much older than that, when written.
Ending up being one great performance, by Charlton Heston!!
TOMBSTONE ... kind of neat finding little tidbits now and then. Robert Mitchum narrated .. Yet kind of cool. NEVER caught until watching again last night.
Robert's son Christopher... veteran of several John Wayne westerns... Was the ranch hand.. standing beside Charlton Heston. When they needed to leave Doc Holiday behind.
OH and not to forget..... YOUNG GUNS ... with it's ensemble cast ... also done. With some of the same characters, and events from the Lincoln county war...

Yeah, 'tis a live commentary track.
They watch the movie live in a movie theater, usually in Tennessee or Minnesota. It's Mike Nelson, Kevin Murphy, and Bill Corbett. Mike was always a writer on the old MST3K but took over as the main human protagonist once Joel Hodgson left the series. Kevin has always been the voice of robot Tom Servo, as well as bunch of other voices, and Bill Corbett took over as Crow T. Robot's voice after Trace Beaulieu left.
They run commentary on the movie while it plays, and the view shifts between the movie itself and the commentators on the stage in the theater where they're doing the show, because sometimes they do costume bits and stuff during slow bits. They almost always have a short or two, and a few comedic bits in the intro.
I've been to the Riffings of Starship Troopers, Plan Nine from Outer Space, Jack the Giant-Killer (1962), Santa Claus Conquers the Martians ... and they've ALL been amazing. This year they're also doing Godzilla (1998) and Anaconda.

Thanks for the reply ...... Sage wisdom from the purple vixen!!
BTW anyone know about this possible....... Happened to catch Captain America 2 final time, before it leaves theaters. Have a little 2 screener, in nearby small city.
They usually get it, few weeks before run finished, and maybe home video takes over.
Watched teaser, at end, quicksilver and scarlet witch intro.... YET as I was leaving.. heard someone say. There was one more scene yet to go.
Anyone know if this one had a double dip, of extra scenes during or after credits??
Storm
-
You didn't stay until the very end? Silly man.
After the credits are over - the Quicksilver/Witch intro happens MID-credits - but after they're ENTIRELY over you see the Winter Soldier in civvy clothes going to the Captain America Smithsonian display and looking confused ...
... and then walking into the Bucky Barnes display.

Appaloosa - 2005
While the western genre has lost much of its favor, every now and then we get a gem. One example is "Tombstone", which happens to be one of favorite movies of all time.
Another is "Appaloosa".......
Appaloosa is an American western based on the 2005 novel, Appaloosa, by crime writer Robert B. Parker. Directed by Ed Harris and co-written by Harris and Robert Knott, Appaloosa stars Harris alongside Viggo Mortensen, Renée Zellweger and Jeremy Irons. The film premiered in the 2008 Toronto International Film Festival and was released in selected cities on September 19, 2008, then expanded into wide-release on October 3, 2008.
The movie shares some narrative similarities with the 1959 Western Warlock, directed by Edward Dmytryk and starring Henry Fonda, Anthony Quinn and Richard Widmark. There is also a 1966 Western named The Appaloosa which stars Marlon Brando, but the two films are unrelated.
In 1882, the small town of Appaloosa, New Mexico, is being terrorized by local rancher Randall Bragg (Jeremy Irons), who killed the town's marshal, Jack Bell (Robert Jauregui), and two of his deputies when they came to his ranch to arrest two of his men. The town decides to hire lawman and town-tamer Virgil Cole (Ed Harris) and his deputy, Everett Hitch (Viggo Mortensen), to protect and regain control of the town. The pair agree on one condition: that the town follow the by laws drawn up by Virgil Cole, which means that Virgil and Everett will essentially be running the town while employed as City Marshalls.
The movie is brilliantly directed by Ed Harris...and he also co-wrote the script.
Give it a look...I think you'll like it

Man I completely missed the Magnificent Seven quote. You know, that was supposed to be Yul Brynner's movie, but Steve McQueen completely stole it.
With the news of the passing of James Garner, I offer up "The Great Escape" with McQueen and Garner as well as Bronson. Excellent story and tremendous cast.

In the making of mag seven ... Mcqueen did a lot of simple things to try and stay in camera focus. Like playing with his hat, shading with his hand against the sun. As they got ready to roll the hearse.
I guess Brynner stated at one point, tired of all Steve's antics. If he wanted the camera to shift back to himself, all he had to do was take off his hat.
James Garner Support your local sheriff... great cast over all, with Garner at some of his subtle humor best.
PLACE to check out online.. whatculture ... OMG great place to veg... Reports and factoids on pop culture.. Wrestling, movies.. Things like easter eggs in movies...
ALSO guess wwe getting set to reboot Leprachaun series ... WITH of course Hornsawggle that little bastard from under the ring. Getting the title role.

"Sharknado 2 - The Second One"
The only way to get through an East Coast "Sharknado" is to savor the excess. So many sharks. So many cameos. So little coke to snort to get me through it. So much promotional ballyhoo.
Yes, “Sharknado 2: The Second One” arrived on Wednesday night on the SyFy channel, your home for quality family viewing, and this time the great whites are raining down on the Great White Way. Actually, who knows what species the precipitating sharks are, and quite a lot of the mayhem takes place in Queens (fuck Queens, as long as they stay away from Central Park West), but judging from the advance coverage (“ Sharknado 2 - Ready to Take Bite Out of Big Apple”) it’s illegal to write about this movie without making a bad pun, so I wanted to get that out of the way early.
Sorry, I couldn't help myself. *snorts another line of coke*
You know its got to be good just by the name....Sharknado 2: The Second One? What in the Wide Wide World of FUCK network exec thought that one up? The could have done so much fucking better. I can see it on the marquis now.....
"Sharks on a Plane", or "The Good the Bad and The Sharks", or "Godzilla Meets the Sharks".
I mean come on SyFy!! Next thing you know I'll be giving titles to my orgasms!
Anyway, if you have inexplicably missed the mania of last summer, here is how we arrived at this moment. A year ago we were plodding through a relatively ordinary television summer until July 11, when SyFy, a niche cable channel (run by Pirates) whose programming normally has no effect on anything other than to give jobs to actresses who keep failing 30-day rehab with great tits and guys with six-pack abs (did I say I was complaining?), broadcast “Sharknado” and rocked the world. The gist of that deliberately cheesy movie: Sharks sucked up into the atmosphere by tornadoes start falling on Los Angeles, and they’re kind of angry, and a guy named Fin (Ian Ziering) saves the day with a chain saw. At least it wasn't San Francisco and the Monterey Peninsula...Thank God!.
Last time we saw Ian Ziering he was trying to get a diploma from Beverly Hills High in "Beverly Hills 90210". Did the fucker ever graduate? Get a GED?
I always laugh when I stumble onto a rerun of that show and I see the clan gathered at the "Peach Pit" restaurant for bad burgers and soggy fries. Almost gets your mouth watering to go through the drive thru at McDonalds to pick up a sack of McRib's, doesn't it?. That name Peach Pit keeps ringing a bell that makes me want to put out my eyes with red hot screw drivers. There's my main insult for this article. Sorry Mickey D's. Anyway, back to this film masterpiece.
Something about “Sharknado” made people crazy, and the movie became the cult phenomenon of that summer and beyond. Naturally, there would be a sequel, and, of course, the shark storm this time would be visited upon New York. Why New York you ask? Omaha was closed!
Just to be on the safe side I have got in some extra cases of shark repellent and I have noted they covered my apartment building in Central Park West with the shit so I feel safe. We here in Central Park West intend on standing up to the shark menace even if the pussies in Brooklyn run for Jersey.
SyFy, an NBCUniversal property, had been promoting “Sharknado 2” relentlessly, and who can blame it? If you’re a secondary cable channel and have a chance to distinguish yourself from the scores of others, you’d better take it. and what better to do it with than a shark storm. As Al Roker (gives a great cameo as himself, deserving of a Best Supporting Actor Emmy along with Matt Lauer) says in the movie "This is a twister ... with teeth!". I shit you not!
The underlying philosophy, with the promotion and the film itself, seems to have been that when you have a movie about a shark rainstorm, there’s no such thing as overkill. That’s almost true. “Sharknado 2” intends to be nothing more than dumb fun, and it succeeds well enough at that. But it also leaves you regretting that the “Sharknado” team (Anthony C. Ferrante again directed from a script by Thunder Levin) didn’t reach for camp greatness.
I'm sure we're in for some great future Syfy "classics": Sharktopus, Mega-Shark vs. Giant Octopus, and . . . "Mansquito." The titles tell you all you need...Oh wait! They've already done those? Love ya SyFy!
I would have preferred "Sharknado vs. The Pirates." We pirates are used to fending off sharks. What'd you expect me to say? Sharknado vs Ninji Fuckers? Everyone knows ninjis hate water.
As the movie opens, Fin and his ex-wife, April (Tara Reid), are flying into Kennedy International Airport to promote a book about the 2013 Sharknado (I know, Tara Reid writing a book, I shit you not) when the plane passes through a Sharknado of its own, to disastrous effect. And, yes, for those keeping track, that is the second unpleasant TV landing at Kennedy this summer. The planeload of dead passengers that began “The Strain” on FX also touched down there. Kelly Osbourne demonstrates remarkable composure just before she gets her head sawed off by a toothy beast. Ziering will FLY THE PLANE. Tara Reid masters litle-kid-crying-face. Will she become JFK tarmac roadkill? SHE LOSES A HAND. REPEAT: TARA REID'S HAND IS GONE. Ziering is a regular ol' "Sully" Sullenberger. Avast ye matey, Reid just became the new Captain Hook!
Fin tries to warn New York about the coming storm. New York doesn’t listen. And then comes an outlandish, chaotic collection of scenes featuring sharks on subways, sharks on skyscrapers, sharks on city streets, sharks in pizza joints. A Mets game in Queens is a particular focus (sorry Mets fans, Yankees rule!). EF5 SHARKNADO ON THE UPPER EAST SIDE! Roker's got the science down pat! Cold air meets warm air meets Sharknado!
The movie is full of recognizable stars in small roles, and since spotting them is one of its main pleasures, they won’t be identified here except to say that the pilot of that plane has been a pilot before (Robert Hays from 'Airplane"), and the cabby who gets Fin to the ballpark has a fair amount of experience (Judd Hirsch from 'Taxi" - he's awesome).
Unfortunately, the movie doesn’t really do anything truly memorable with all these guests, as if just getting these actors to show up were enough. That’s largely true of the sharks as well. At lease Tara Reid showed up clean and sober, although judging from her performance there aren't enough bottles available for her to pee in.
I suppose now I should review Sharknado 1.....let me do another line of coke first....

Thinking her screen play .. SyFy version of Pirate Sluts of the Spanish Main ... Fight off killer crabs, from the area bordellos tramps(yes pun intended), among large water spouts!!
I'm sure Michelle could come up with a better idea, this context.
Wet N Wild CRABS at sea attack!!
I mean YOU know this is coming.. Syfy thinking what can we throw through the air next? They ran out of oversized lizards... N reptiles.
Hmmmmmm SquidPhoon!! Giant murderous squids hitting the town, being thrown ashore by a typhoon!!
Slimy, slippery tentacles everywhere... pulling resort guests under.... now CAN YOU FEEL THAT SUCKERS?? LOL

Ok, saw Guardians of the Galaxy today and I think it's one of the best if not the best MCU movie to date. Lots of humor, plenty of easter eggs for comic book geeks (of which I are one), tons of action, spacefighting scenes and a new group of heroes to cheer.
Plus the soundtrack could have been lifted from my iTunes library.

I love "The fabulous Baker Boys" featuring Beau and Jeff and Michelle.

"Guardians of the Galaxy" - Review
Before I start with this.....how many of you remember the rendition of the song "Hooked On A Feeling" by a group called Blue Sweed? Well.....Blue Swede's, Hooked On A Feeling is the song that's been used on the trailer for the latest addition to Marvel cinematic universe in the Guardians of the Galaxy film.
And its so cool! The fucker works!!
Of any movie Marvel Studios has released so far, Guardians of the Galaxy had the greatest potential to be the hit factory’s first dud. It features almost totally unknown Marvel heroes (Drax the Whatnow?), it was directed by a guy (James Gunn) whose taste for dark heroes isn’t exactly in line with The Avengers, and it’s set in space, with nary an Empire State Building or S.H.I.E.L.D. helicarrier or other recognizable fixtures to be found. In short, there’s a lot that could’ve gone wrong.
We should’ve trusted that Marvel would get it right.
Guardians of the Galaxy, out today, may not be from the Marvel mold that audiences are used to, but its off-kilter sense of humor helps smooth over virtually any imperfection. (Very few intergalactic face-offs involve an a cappella rendition of the Five Stairsteps’ “O-o-h Child” and a sort-of dance-off. This one does.) In a cinematic universe that is constantly expanding, Marvel’s first foray into its “cosmic” stories is an excellent maiden voyage. (It also has a talking raccoon with a gun, voiced by Bradley Cooper, so it’s everything you ever wanted without even knowing it.)
While Guardians ranges far into the cosmos, it starts on Earth in 1988, where a young Peter Quill is listening to his Walkman as his mother lays dying in the hospital. When she dies, he runs outside in grief and is promptly abducted by a spacecraft (just go with it). Cut to 26 years later: Quill (Chris Pratt) is listening to the same Walkman and searching an abandoned planet for an orb his father figure Yondu (Michael Rooker)—head of the Ravagers who raised him—sent him to find. Korath (Djimon Hounsou), who has no idea who Quill or “Star-Lord” is, busts him in the act. (This is the scene that’s been in nearly every trailer or teaser from the beginning—a clip that pretty much established that Marvel also knew most moviegoers would be just as unfamiliar with this Star-Lord fellow as Korath.) Korath wants to collect the orb for galactic despot Ronan the Accuser (Lee Pace), who plans to use it to destroy the planet Xandar—possibly with the help of Thanos (Josh Brolin) and his less-favorite adoptive daughter Nebula (Karen “I shaved my head for this?” Gillan).
Got all that?
That parade of names and places comes in the movie’s first 30 minutes, much of it before the Guardians have even met. But the exposition is necessary: This is a universe non-comics readers know little about. And somehow, it doesn’t drag Guardians down. As long as you can keep your Ronans and Yondus and Thanoses straight, you’re fine. And soon enough, Quill meets his compatriots: Rocket Raccoon (voiced by Bradley Cooper); Groot (voiced by Vin Diesel); Thanos’ favorite adoptive daughter, assassin Gamora (Zoe Saldana); and Drax the Destroyer (Dave Bautista). There’s a glorious (and fun) prison-break setpiece, and the movie launches into nonstop action and world-building. Ronan needs to be stopped, the Guardians pull together to do it, everyone else is here to welcome our new favorite super team, roll credits!
In that regard, Guardians is very much like The Avengers, but that’s where the easy comparison stops. The Guardians are a gang of not-particularly-heroic people (or tree-people, or whatever) who pull together, basically, for spaceships and giggles. And that seeming arbitrariness is where the team gets its charm (and best LOLs). For decades, our cinematic crusaders have been either misunderstood Batman types or straight-up do-gooders like Captain America. There may be a bad boy (Iron Man) or a god (Thor) in the bunch, but for all of his playboy ways, even Tony Stark probably couldn’t get away with an R-rated zinger like Quill saying that his ship’s interior “would look like a Jackson Pollock painting” under a blacklight. They may be aliens of one variety or another, but there’s something to Gunn’s Guardians—particularly the wry, crotch-scratching Rocket and no-BS Gamora—that makes them very easy to identify with (or to want to party with). And who doesn’t love a good redemption story?
Does that mean Guardians is on par with Avengers? Not exactly. That team had four films’ worth of hype before they assembled, and the Guardians are gathering in one whole-cloth film. But as an introduction to Marvel’s space stories and a link from them to the canon thus far, it serves its purpose dexterously. There’s a bit of Star Wars swagger, a touch of Firefly frolic, and just enough of the Marvel Method of storytelling (heroic bon vivants! bad guys get dealt with!) for it to validate Gunn and co-writer Nicole Perlman’s vision. They also made a film with one of the best (and probably insanely expensive) superhero soundtracks of all time—Quill’s mixtape has everything from The Runaways to the Jackson 5, and it invigorates scene after scene. (It’s also embedded below.)
Guardians is by no means flawless. If you find yourself lost in the name-checking of Yondus and Ronans, you’re probably not alone, and while most of the jokes are pitch-perfect, a few elicit forced laughter. There’s also something a little too We’re in this together now!, even groan-worthy, about the Guardians’ final face-off with Ronan. But the conclusion is so satisfying, and even goofy, that all is forgiven.
Guardians of the Galaxy is, of course, just the beginning. A Gunn-directed sequel was announced last week before the movie even hit theaters, so there’s a lot more to come. And presumably, one day these Guardians will fly even further into the Marvel universe—and I, for one, welcome our new singing, dancing, crotch-grabbing overlords.

(This is the scene that’s been in nearly every trailer or teaser from the beginning—a clip that pretty much established that Marvel also knew most moviegoers would be just as unfamiliar with this Star-Lord fellow as Korath.) Korath wants to collect the orb for galactic despot Ronan the Accuser (Lee Pace), who plans to use it to destroy the planet Xandar—possibly with the help of Thanos (Josh Brolin) and his less-favorite adoptive daughter Nebula (Karen “I shaved my head for this?” Gillan).
Got all that?
That parade of names and places comes in the movie’s first 30 minutes, much of it before the Guardians have even met. But the exposition is necessary: This is a universe non-comics readers know little about. And somehow, it doesn’t drag Guardians down. As long as you can keep your Ronans and Yondus and Thanoses straight, you’re fine. And soon enough, Quill meets his compatriots: Rocket Raccoon (voiced by Bradley Cooper); Groot (voiced by Vin Diesel); Thanos’ favorite adoptive daughter, assassin Gamora (Zoe Saldana); and Drax the Destroyer (Dave Bautista). There’s a glorious (and fun) prison-break setpiece, and the movie launches into nonstop action and world-building. Ronan needs to be stopped, the Guardians pull together to do it, everyone else is here to welcome our new favorite super team, roll credits!
In that regard, Guardians is very much like The Avengers, but that’s where the easy comparison stops. The Guardians are a gang of not-particularly-heroic people (or tree-people, or whatever) who pull together, basically, for spaceships and giggles. And that seeming arbitrariness is where the team gets its charm (and best LOLs). For decades, our cinematic crusaders have been either misunderstood Batman types or straight-up do-gooders like Captain America. There may be a bad boy (Iron Man) or a god (Thor) in the bunch, but for all of his playboy ways, even Tony Stark probably couldn’t get away with an R-rated zinger like Quill saying that his ship’s interior “would look like a Jackson Pollock painting” under a blacklight. They may be aliens of one variety or another, but there’s something to Gunn’s Guardians—particularly the wry, crotch-scratching Rocket and no-BS Gamora—that makes them very easy to identify with (or to want to party with). And who doesn’t love a good redemption story?
Does that mean Guardians is on par with Avengers? Not exactly. That team had four films’ worth of hype before they assembled, and the Guardians are gathering in one whole-cloth film. But as an introduction to Marvel’s space stories and a link from them to the canon thus far, it serves its purpose dexterously. There’s a bit of Star Wars swagger, a touch of Firefly frolic, and just enough of the Marvel Method of storytelling (heroic bon vivants! bad guys get dealt with!) for it to validate Gunn and co-writer Nicole Perlman’s vision. They also made a film with one of the best (and probably insanely expensive) superhero soundtracks of all time—Quill’s mixtape has everything from The Runaways to the Jackson 5, and it invigorates scene after scene. (It’s also embedded below.)
Guardians is by no means flawless. If you find yourself lost in the name-checking of Yondus and Ronans, you’re probably not alone, and while most of the jokes are pitch-perfect, a few elicit forced laughter. There’s also something a little too We’re in this together now!, even groan-worthy, about the Guardians’ final face-off with Ronan. But the conclusion is so satisfying, and even goofy, that all is forgiven.
Guardians of the Galaxy is, of course, just the beginning. A Gunn-directed sequel was announced last week before the movie even hit theaters, so there’s a lot more to come. And presumably, one day these Guardians will fly even further into the Marvel universe—and I, for one, welcome our new singing, dancing, crotch-grabbing overlords.
'Ooga-Chaka': A Primer on the Unofficial 'Guardians of the Galaxy' Theme
Blue Swede's "Hooked on a Feeling" has a long, bizarre history
Marvel Studios maintained its stranglehold on the box office this past weekend with the genuinely delightful Guardians of the Galaxy. The Chris Pratt-powered vehicle—part sci-fi action flick, part sci-fi comedy—brought in $94.3 million during its opening weekend, the biggest debut ever for an August release, according to Box Office Mojo. There are several factors that contributed to the blockbuster's commercial and critical success: Pratt's Han Solo-ish charisma; the movie's vivid color palette; a rarely better Bradley Cooper voicing a trigger-happy, Napoleonic raccoon; a never-better Vin Diesel voicing a talking (albeit monosyllabic) tree.
And, of course, there's the soothing effect of the film's '70s-heavy soundtrack. As director James Gunn told Vulture recently, "We're thrust onto a bunch of strange planets with strange landscapes, and the familiarity of the pop songs made it all a little more palatable."
Redbone's 1974 single "Come and Get Your Love" opens Guardians, but audiences got a glimpse at the movie's vintage-jukebox appeal back in February, when the film's first official trailer (seen above) dusted off the "Ooga-ooga / Ooga-chaka" of Blue Swede's "Hooked on a Feeling." Digital sales of the song spiked immediately; Billboard reported that the track sold more than 2,000 downloads the day after the preview premiered, giving the song its best-ever digital sales week at the time. This past week, though, the track sold 12,600 downloads, according to Nielsen SoundScan, marking a 348 percent increase from the previous week, in which the song sold 2,800 downloads. But newcomers may not realize that "Hooked on a Feeling" has a long, rich history that pre-dates its appearance in an intergalactic prison.
Originally released in 1968, "Hooked on a Feeling" was first recorded by singer B.J. Thomas, whose biggest song ended up being another Hollywood-endorsed hit, "Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head" from Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. But it was written by Mark James, the man behind classics sung by Brenda Lee and Elvis Presley, including "Suspicious Minds" and "Always on My Mind." Speaking on the phone with SPIN, James said he wrote the song with his childhood sweetheart in mind. "It's a true story," he said. "It's more or less a song about someone I wanted to be with." There was one complication, though: James was married to another woman at the time. And there's another twist—he's now married to the person who subconsciously inspired the song and has been since 1971.
One person who was less interested in the love story behind the lyrics and more concerned with the drug references was President Richard Nixon, who in 1970 asked radio programmers to ban all songs containing allusions to drug use—"Hooked on a Feeling" included. "Somebody said, 'Maybe we can crack down on drugs,'" James recalled, "and all of a sudden... 'Hooked on a Feeling? That's a drug song!'"
The earliest version of "Hooked" didn't feature the track's now-signature "Ooga-chaka" chant—that rhythmic refrain didn't manifest until 1971, when English singer-songwriter Jonathan King produced his own rendition, which reached No. 23 on the U.K. charts. (King was later disgraced when he was convicted in 2001 for committing sexual offenses against several teenage boys in the 1980s; he was released on parole in 2005.)
The best-known cover of "Hooked on a Feeling" came in 1974, courtesy of Swedish outfit Blue Swede. That interpretation, which carried over the "Ooga-chaka" from King's version, topped Billboard's Hot 100 chart and carved out its own pop-culture legacy. Remembering the first time he heard Blue Swede's take, James said he told record executives, "'This is a fun record and it's well-made. It's a hit.' I said, 'How big is this? I don't know, but I'd buy it.'"
The Swede-ish rendition showed up in Quentin Tarantino's 1992 crime classic, Reservoir Dogs...
and scored one of the earliest Internet memes, the "Dancing Baby," in a 1998 episode of FOX's Ally McBeal.
David Hasselhoff (!) also recorded his own version for his 1999 album of the same name...
and the Offspring sampled the "Ooga-chaka" call in their 2000 track, "Special Delivery."
Now, "Hooked on a Feeling" leads the clumsily titled Guardians of the Galaxy: Awesome Mix Vol. 1 (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack). Forty years after the track topped the charts, listeners are still happy to hear...

"Guardians of the Galaxy" - Review
Of any movie Marvel Studios has released so far, Guardians of the Galaxy had the greatest potential to be the hit factory’s first dud. It features almost totally unknown Marvel heroes (Drax the Whatnow?), it was directed by a guy (James Gunn) whose taste for dark heroes isn’t exactly in line with The Avengers, and it’s set in space, with nary an Empire State Building or S.H.I.E.L.D. helicarrier or other recognizable fixtures to be found. In short, there’s a lot that could’ve gone wrong.
...
Guardians of the Galaxy is, of course, just the beginning. A Gunn-directed sequel was announced last week before the movie even hit theaters, so there’s a lot more to come. And presumably, one day these Guardians will fly even further into the Marvel universe—and I, for one, welcome our new singing, dancing, crotch-grabbing overlords.
That's a lot of copy-pasting. You're not gonna credit Angela Watercutter of Wired anywhere in there?

But, hey, it was a great movie!

AS usual GREAT fact filled ads and reviews by Michelle !!
Since she opened it up ... how about it people?? Any one else already take in Guardians OR the new Turtles reboot?? If so .. like the magnificent one, Michelle .. Give us some feedback ...
Think online between marvel and dc ... A combined 20 movies, are hoped for, between all studios. The next 5 years or so ...
SAD note about Robin Williams ...... Ironic.. I just rewatched Disney's Aladdin ... Genie .... No one could have done that character better.
Have to admit enjoyed him in Hook as Well.
Good news for fans of his ... supposedly he has 4 movies done... some sequals. That should be heading theater next year or so.

stormy, you are going to solidify my rep as master of the obscure reference. It'd take a miracle for me to not get the quote.
That's from History of the World Part 1.
The western, well my dad was a huge fan of John Wayne movies and I've pretty much seen them all. Red River is one of my personal favorites because the Duke isn't his nice guy self. And the story of a father having issues with his (adopted) son kinda struck home.

Right and right again ... Tom Dunston think Wayne's character was .... Definately showing his darker side. Kind of like how Searchers began.
Figured the lovely Michelle might catch this one, and leave some great factoids.
One thing with Red River just seen, but not watched.
Think Criterion collection, released a blue ray version. That is supposed to have 2 versions of the movie. The known one, as well as one with scenes added, pulled from original release.
Any J Wayne fans know anything about this??

OK ... finally made guardians .... not bad ... Starlords dad an ancient ... Meaning an elder of the universe?? Admit not up to speed on this character...
Anyone good with the elders?? The collector of course .... his brother the controller??
Then Grandmaster .. and Champion I think the one that likes fighting ... any more on these guys from comic and marvel movie fans??
BTW hey yes small clip at end of credits.. but come on. Some of you should have warned it was just a stupid Howard the duck intro...
Would they dare try making that again??
Sat through all the credits for that?? Sighhhh..

Cover artwork, looks interesting .. Leprechaun Origins ... The name of it ...
Other than that, don't know anything about it .. not sure if it is in full home release or not .. We usually see these few weeks, before it hits stores.
Yet may not have had anyone order it before now.
ANY updates/ feedback on this LET us know!!
SOooooooooooooooooo getting closer to OCT ..
FAVE HORROR MOVIES with popcorn for Halloween?? CLASSIC or NEWER ...
HMmmmmmmmmm maybe monster cereals and a movie!! See they have added roll ups, and trail mix or cereal bars as well this year.
Storm

I love the original Leprechaun series. Warwick Davis is a god-damn national treasure and those movies are fucking awesome schlock.
The new one has Hornswoggle dressed up in skull-face low-rent monster make-up and the Leprechaun is some sort of snarling chupacabra monster instead of ... y'know ... a fucking LEPRECHAUN.
Whatever, I'll watch it. I watch every horror movie.
For Halloween, I watch three movies that sacred night, each and every year (that they've been available):
Halloween III: Season of the Witch - simply the best movie about Druidic-cursed Halloween masks ever made.
Creepshow 2 - because I love Tales from the Crypt and this is way cheaper than buying a season of that.
Trick 'r Treat - has more Halloween lore and character actors than you can shake a Pixie Stick at.

Trick 'r Treat - *almost swoons* FUCKING AWESOME!
Hmmmm seeing Sadie add in .. reminds me.. Used to have one of the neighbors made popcorn balls for Halloween. These done special, just for the ones of us, on the block. So we got these plus the candy, others got. So double score!!
Just a different way to share popcorn N SCARY movies, with SNARKY SADIE !!
Two days in a row, we have had fog in the morning.. Friday morning early drive bad in some places. Today spooky looking, drifting patches. Clear, then you come to a thin wall, drifting by. Possibly again sunday.. SOoooooooo Maybe a John Carpenter Triple treat.
HALLOWEEN the original .. The FOG the original ... (Adrienne Barbeau was mature yet HOT still here!!), Then the Thing??
By the way wasn't there a different movie called Trick or Treat ... Had brief roles of Gene Simmons as a local radio DJ, and Ozzie Osbourne, as GASppp a televangelist, speaking against the evil of rock and roll??

P.S. Purple Vixen ... Halloween is almost here Silver Shamrock !! He he he ...

HEY horror movie fans ... ANYONE get to check out Annabelle yet?? If you have please give a shout out and some feedback!!

GREAT ads by Lexi and Anna .. This definately the time of year to list fave horror titles ..

This is supposedly the origins of Annabelle .... the beginning.
THAT said ... The movie starts you out slow .. Yet hits you again, and again with simply creepy scenes here and there. GREAT mood and atmosphere settings here.
They do good job of getting you to THINK you know what will happen next .. Get you past it, then WHAM.
Have to admit .. The sequence for the storage space CREEPS you out, VERY intense .... Hope lovely Lexi will agree ..
That said .... I may have to check out Anna's add .. I mean Anna one sexy, yet tough lady. So impresses me, seeing some of it got to her.
Witchboard ... Tawny Kitaen at her hottest only helps!!
Maybe with Horror .. Sub section slasher movies.. Since not all of them come across as supernatural or mainline horror!!
NEW very recent coming through work ..
SEE no Evil 2 think it is with KANE from WWE .. Sequal to his previous movie
ALSO .. Hercules with the rock ... and Malificent just this week .. So those hitting out for general sale anytime now!

They made Maze Runner too dark and foggy in an effort to make it look visually like the Hunger Games. My most pleasant surprise of the year has been Interstellar, which I had extremely low hopes for based on the terrible trailer but ended up being a perfect purely humanist story of achievement and exploration that made 2001 look like a bunch of campy junk.

Anyways .. GUESS what was playing when they first had us go downstairs? Tv on to entertain us kids .... Fill in the music ... and YES right when the tornado was lifting everything up. Including the mean woman, pedaling her bicycle. That turned into the witch.
Great way to make us kids feel safe huh?? LOL
ANYONE else have a RL mixes with movie moment happening??

Anyone see Jupiter Ascending think it was with Mila Kunis??
ALSO .... Heads up true believers .... NOT this one, but next weekend.... AGE OF ULTRON !!! Hmmmm since Disney owns both franchises.
Wonder when, maybe next Guardians of the galaxy .. We will see the milenium Falcon flying past in space dock?? :P
Hey could not resist .. MAKE WAY FOR DARK HELMET !! He he he

I would pay all the money in the world to see a Marvel/Star Wars crossover in theaters.
I would rob every bank in every country and create a katamari ball of money the size of Rhode Island and roll it into Disney World and slam the EPCOT Spaceship Earth out of the way with it, and then I would watch that movie until I died and left a cobwebby skeleton.
... but I'm still pretty stoked about Age of Ultron in the meantime. And Ant-Man! I love Paul Rudd!
(And more Howard the Duck cameos).
-
Not too much longer before Age of Ultron and I am avoiding as much of the sneak peeks as I can. You are going to get my money, don't spoil it.
Also in the US May 2nd is Free Comic Book Day so go by your local store and see what you can get.

An Halle Berry movie from 2013. I watched it today on DVD. It is a fantastic crime thriller movie. If you love a good crime thriller and/or Halle Berry and have a couple of hours then this is a must watch.
The movie is on Youtube. The link is to the trailer.
The Call is the name of the movie.

Mad Max - Fury Road Review:
HOLY SHIT!!
HELL FUCKIN' YES!!!
-
OK anyone pumped for the JURASSIC WORLD??
Next weekend I think .. LOVE the fact. They remembered that lost shaving can of dino Dna to start with ..
Have to admit part of it.. kind of looks like military in peril. Much like colonial marines in Aliens. This time dinos in the jungle.

Age of Ultron: Review
MUTHAFUCKA what a movie!
-
OK anyone pumped for the JURASSIC WORLD??
I'm mostly psyched that we finally get raptors as the antiheroes we always knew they secretly were.
They're the Wolverine of Jurassic Park.
-
Jurassic World .... Caught it last night ... OMG I was so right. If you enjoyed Aliens ... Scene with the security in the jungle, stalking the dino ... If you watch that. Then watch scene of Marines being attacked by aliens in the base.
They even have the individual Id,s with vitals. That of course, all quickly go flat. Mixed with sounds and scenes of helmet cam carnage.
Main Dino gets to pull a predator move, in the jungle as well.
Some interesting ideas, with the raptors ... as well as views of other different dinos. Have to admit, much of it predictable. Think to shock and surprise everyone. They needed to have the one kid get eaten or dino squished. He was annoying, and would have been sooooooooooooooo unexpected.. You no break the main kid character, so has to survive.. NOPE .. CHOMP spas kid, becomes dino poo!! He he he
Bryce Dallas Howard was looking kind of hot in this one.
If you enjoy the jurassic park movies. You will probably like this one. Best I can say.
Anyone else feedback on the latest box office crusher?
Storm
-
Just watched "Unfriended"...it was such a disappointment *shrugs*
-
Yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy .... Managed to catch Mad Max Fury road in theater last weekend ...
LOVE the bad guys sound system, for going to war!! Wish I could borrow that. To scare the crap. Out of my co workers as I arrive at work. He he he
Have to agree with Sadie .. Once it got rolling HOLY SHIT!!
Snacks, n movies .. Sadie seems to know her stuff!!
Storm
BTW ... We got this in at work last week. Means another few weeks. Should be out for rental or buying.
-
Terminator Genysis ...
Anyone see this? Coming through work this week.. So heading for rental and home sales, next few weeks ..
ALSO ANYONE newer HORROR movies worth seeing, for Halloween?
Storm
-
I heard good things about "It Follows", though I haven't watched it myself. Not strictly horror, but if I have a Halloween tradition, it's definetly watching "The Thing". (1982)
-
We're the Millers -"nah I'm sayin' ;D
hilarious movie ! and 1 extremely hot strip dance by Jennifer Anniston !! :o ;D :P
Think first time I saw Jennifer ..
Original Leprechaun movie .. She looked so damn hot there.
Made me wish someone would get her. In a horror movie shower scene.. Sighhhh yet don't think.
She has actually done decent nude scene yet ..
BTW anyone have thoughts on James Bond Spectre??
That should be on rental places now or another week ..
If anyone is looking...
KING BOB !!! YAyyyyyyyyyyyyy He he he ;D
-
"The Revenant" is one of those movies that is so freaking good it simultaneously makes you feel small and inspires you to be better.
OK gotta admit .. Was not sure on this one.
Yet seeing such a thumbs up like this .. Will have to catch this one.
Thanks Slaw .. Hmmmmmm usually think of other snacks for movie time.
Can not deny ... movies with slaw .. NOW very appealing.
Hope to hear more movie likes from you ..
OK how about some shout outs. To upcoming movies, that you can't wait to see?
Captain America Civil War ... Super bowl promo, looking intense!!
Teen Ninja Turtle fans .. Krang part 2 ..
Godzilla 2 slated .. no idea what to expect here.
NOT liking 4th installment of Transformers.. Yet saw online blurb, scheduled for maybe 3 or 4 more?? NOT sure about this at all.
Also saw a reboot/ remake of Kickboxer in the works .. Van Damme plays the mentor/ trainor this one.
Anyone else .. upcoming movies of interest?
Ok since it is tomorrow, and we have a lot of GORGEOUS ladies here.
Have a fave romantic movie?
Storm
-
Wayyyyyyy overdue .. Also see in the near future ..
INCREDIBLES 2 ..

Anyone else fan of this movie??
Storm

Interesting take. Maybe I need to watch it.
-
"The Revenant" is like a hot fudge sundae topped with peanuts, whipped cream and a hyper-realistic bear attack.
Leo is great, but Tom Hardy steals the show. Any pro-style cyber-wrestlers here looking to pick up some new "heel" techniques, need only to study his performance.
Quite a different review..lol
Anyways..
Deadpool
Just Deadpool
-
Officially now, I must say it is Deadpool! OMG that was so much fun to watch.
-
Monty Python & The Holy Grail
Animal House
The Godfather Parts 1 and 2
-
NOW here this ... If your a fan of DEADPOOL.
We are starting to see it show up at work. Means should be out for home sales/ rental next few weeks.
Anyone have some feedback on the Batman Vs Superman movie??
Also vibes or looking forward to any new theater releases soon?
Storm
-
OK ANYONE seeing Captain America Civil War this weekend ..
SOUND off here .. Give us some feedback!! Your review thumbs up or thumbs down!!
What about movie soundtrack song tag??
I will start you off with an easy one. It does NOT have to be main title song, just well known from a soundtrack.
No Easy Way Out
You guess or name the right movie.
You get to leave the next soundtrack teaser ....

Will give a hint, soundtrack song was from a sports movie. Played during scene. As main character seeing flashbacks. While racing his car, through some non city streets.

I'll post a list later but one of my most favorite B-rated horror/action movies I loved as a kid and to this day is this movie called "Dog Soldiers".
I saw it on the Syfy channel many times and once in a great while they'll show it on TV.
It's about a squad of British Soldiers on a training mission against SAS Special Forces. A day or so in they find the SAS base camp but it's all fucked up with real weapons and live ammunition strewn about. Later on they find out that their up against Werewolves
Great movie with decent acting.
A lot of blood and gore.
Lots of action.
Check it out when you can.
-
NEWER in theater ..
ANY reviews/ comments either movie ..
Conjuring 2 or new X-men film?? May be checking one out this weekend.. so looking for some heads up if anyone has seen these 2.

INDEPENDANCE DAY RESURGANCE ...
The sequal ... now in theaters ... Happened to see it last weekend ..
Special effects are very good. They help keep the movie going.
Yet have to be honest .. part of it is very predictable ...
Will Smith not part of it .. Have to admit .. not a major issue for me.
Since they do have a character as his son.
I do not care for what they did with Vivaca Fox's character. Trying to show a emotional moment.
Yet just seemed like they snuck her in to say they had her.
Wish they would have come up with something better and longer in the sequal for her.
Also kind of spoiler point or maybe not ..
It does seem, like they rip of Aliens mother queen idea ... To a degree ...
It was an interesting way to enjoy some mindless fun for awhile. Still do not think it was as daring, as the original.
PLUS YES ... Left open for the third installment to happen ..
Storm
-
CONJURING 2 ..
OK time to get your SPOOKY FREAKYNESS on ..
Opens with Amityville setting/ story .. Like first one did with Annabelle.
Basically If you put together the Exorcist and Amityville Horror .. Maybe a dash of Poltergeist. You get this movie ... LOT of INTENSE moments and scares.
They do a good job of leading you in .. and DAMN just when you think you know how it is going to happen. They still freak, and creep you out.
Scene at the Warrens with the dark, evil demon nun thing ... Let's just say sit close ... and bring extra underwear/ clean panties for this one ..
You know it is going to happen .. yet not the way they bring it ... More than once during this.
Good for a few of the goosebumps and hee be jeebies ;D
As before based on actual case files ...
Not to be seen with a crooked man or dark garbed nun .. Just saying!!

-

Yeahhh that is a classic one ..
With the lady posting .. May need to change to Yippeee Kiyaaaa CelebrityRPLover is here!!
Just got done watching Captain America Civil war again ..
May not like all the changes and moves .. Still it kicks ass ..
One thing wish they had done. After all the character has been through.
Being put in lockdown twice one friendly, the other the Raft.
After walking towards Falcon .. Think they should have shown. Cap helping Wanda out, giving her freedom.
After other team members showed her no trust.
Think it would have been a nice touch.
THAT said ... Anything new worth seeing right now?

Gotta love the Universal Monsters, anything from the 60's & 70's no matter how cheesy. More modern movies? I have to go with Asian cinema. Pulse, Dark Water, Ringu from Japan. The Host & A Tale of Two Sisters from Korea. And check out Macabre from Indonesia.

"Yojimbo" from Akira Kurosawa
I'm a bit of a Kurosawa fanboy. Rashomon and Seven Samurai are two of my favorites. I would probably have ranked Yojimbo up there as well but unlike Seven Samurai, I saw the western adaptation first.

Vertigo (1958) - Kim Novak was a really hot piece of ass. Needs to be remade with a woman stalking a woman and they both have a catfight-sexfight and fall in love.
