What OTHER movies have you seen?

[Krell]

Of course there some new stuff at the box office, but there's still a lot of older stuff thats great to own.

Among my recently viewed movies are The Recruit, The 25th Hour, S1M0NE, Citizen X, Seven Samurai, Femme Fetale, American Psycho, The Transporter . . . . and I am somewhere in the 450 title range now . . and growing quickly.

Who has any recomendations, or rare titles that they like?

I'm itching to "run down to Blockbuster" and get me some new stuff.


What are your prize possessions?

[vipp]

I highly recommend Bandits. That was an excellent movie!!!!!!! 5 stars.

Also, The Big Lebowski. That is a MUST see. 5 stars also.

[vipp]

Oops. Forgot to ask if you've seen either of those?

[Krell]

I'm knocking at least one star off Bandits, as they were tooo stupid to realize they were being played, and I would have pushed her butt out of a moving vehicle, but in the end, the all lived happily ever after.


Anyone like B movies? Anyone watch the scream queen movies of the 80's and 90's? Linnea Quigly?

Anyone ever see Parents with Randy Quaid? Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown? The Monster? Delicatessen?

[vipp]

I've seen them all. :wings

[Krell]

I'd marry you but youre not a nerd.


What else have you seen?

[vipp]

Cripe, want me to go all the way back to the cheezy horror flick Rawhead Rex, and name them all since then? Umm, not possible. Let's just say I've see every single B movie out there.

(nerd is a matter of opinion btw) *wink*

[Krell]

Even Cave Girl Isand and Beach Babes 2 and Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama?

How bout Cannibal Woman in the Avacada Jungle of Death?

Excellent lol


So whats your prize possessions?

[Potato]

I thoroughly enjoyed Moulin Rouge. I know it's sorta cheesy and they sing and stuff all the time, but I REALLY LIKED IT.

Requiem For a Dream, As Good as it Gets, Royal Tenenbaums, Trainspotting, Wonder Boys, Punch Drunk Love, Adaptation, The Land Before Time, Spirited Away, Donnie Darko, The Lion King.... and more I can't think of.

This (http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/Bleeders-1083009/preview.php) is one of the WORST MOVIES I'VE EVER SEEN.

[vipp]

Igby Goes Down. Another one that didn't get much advertising, yet I found it to be a great movie.

And Krell, I don't keep them after I've seen them. Please don't tell me we are headed for divorce already because of that!

[Serps]

Recently watched Spaceballs and Time Bandits and The Life of Brian quality films.

[Krell]

lmao you woudl THINK that Rutger Hauer could have saved a few pennies along the way, and not have to make movies of this caliber.


If you have the stomach for Requiem For a Dream and Trainspotting, your doing good. Requiem is a finely filmed, engrossing movie, but the ending is gut wrenching.

I have 2 copies of Spirited Away, one with subs, one w/o.

Did you see Princess Mononoke? Or how bout Whisper of the Heart? Another fine anime.



vipp - recycling is what keeps P2P alive.




" Dont touch it, its evil "


" What have the Romans ever done for us? "

[vipp]

Did anyone see The Price of Milk?

I did. Yup. I see them all.

[Serps]

Another good film I watched after seeing it recomended on ZP Battle Royale.

[Krell]

OH dude I have mentioned that so many times, a few of us here like CCSDUDE have seen it, great film, did you see Ichi The Killer?

[Serps]

Not yet Battle Royale is the only film of that genre I have seen. Can you recommend any others?

[Krell]

I am a Takeshi fan, so " Brother (2000) " is another.

Kukujiro

Violent Cop

Ringu

Jin Roh - The Wolf Brigade = anime

[Serps]

Thanks I will give those a go

[chipperrox]

Of course- the greatest comedy ever!
"Mafia!"

you can watch that movie hundreds of times, and laugh each time + you discover at least a few things taht are funny that you havent noticed before


"newspaper appears in midair over cathedral"

[evilmegaman]

I just saw an old movie, "waiting for guffman" it's hilarious :shy

[Krell]

Wow two great suggestions, thx guys!

[TipYourBartender]

Donnie Darko.

[CompuGeek]

Anyone who liked Seven Samurai should watch Yojimbo and High & Low (also directed by Kurosawa). Throne of Blood is good too (aka Kumonosu jo).

:sw

[broadwayrock]

All Akira Kurosawa films are worth seeing - it's a pity that theres not many film makers like him around today.

If you enjoyed Hideo Nakata's 'Ringu', you have to see his new film 'Dark Water'.

It's a slow paced horror like ringu - explaining the story and creating the suspense.

Like ringu the last 25 minutes are as tense as hell!

Definitely the best horror since 'Ringu'

[cheapprick]

I've been going nuts for Hong Kong made movie for awhile now. You can't get that level of action/cheese out of Hollywood.

[metale]

I saw RED PLANET!

Let me tell you that i hate that "new" yanki style of making movies.

Cool stories (like titanic, armagedon, red planet, etc) have the.... "love story" inside!!! i mean.. ok.. i love romantic movies.... but they are mixing the best action films with a love story..... i really hate that.

[Wings_of_Azrael]

I'm not a big movie guy. Anyway, I think "A Clockwork Orange", "Sum of all Fears", "Bringing out the Dead", and "Cube" are must-see films.

[Cenarious]

Donnie Darko, The Eye, Ringu, Battle Royale (Battle Royale 2 is coming out soon!!), Princess Mononoke, Legend and of course Labyrinth.

[Krell]

I just watched BIO-ZOMBIE


It was pretty funny, probaby my favorite zombie movie. The voice-overs were some of the best, and I laughed at several parts. If this movie was any worse, they would have had to sign Keanu Reeves for the part.

Watch it and you will know what I mean.


I read a review today that rated Ringu, above its american counterpart, The Ring. I agree.


Also, the new Terminator 3 with Kristanna Loken .... T-X, will have her rebirth scene from the future, completely nude!

Thats right, walkin down Rodeo drive butt-nekid. Thats 5'10" of butt-nekid I'm lookin forward to.

Oh, and the movie looks good too.


.

[CTC Command]

Spiral was different. And Bio-Zombie sounds interesting. Wings_of_Azrael--good call on A Clockwork Orange. Right up there with Barfly for memorable quotes and entertainment factor.
Along with Bladerunner...

Krell, do you know you're going up against T-3 in the Robot Wars thread?

Watched Platoon today, and I'm gonna tape Malcolm X this weekend. And if we can find a babysitter, Saturday night maybe we'll finally go see Reloaded.

Hey, is that Futurama I hear on downstairs! This is me signing off...vaya con dios, hasta la manana.

[DeweyBear]

You can't forget about the classic horror movies like Cannibal Holocaust, the Living Dead trilogy, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and The Last House On the Left.

As for newer movies, I just watched House of 1000 Corpses and 28 Days and they were both quite good.

[Cenarious]

Brain Damage is pretty funny.....and wierd, have you guys seen any of Peter Jacksons old films before Lord Of the Rings like Bad Taste etc.

O yeah and i saw both Ringu and The Ring. Ringu is definatly better, i didnt like what they done with the main ladys son and the her divorced husband. The only improvment in the american version is the face of the Sadako.

[matt merch]

some films i have seen recently and enjoyed human nature , dolls , no mans land , spun

[wingnut2600]

I am sure that you have already seen this but:

Fri, May 23
DEAD OR ALIVE: FINAL
6:30pm
Early show Friday at 4:30pm.
AUDITION
8:30pm
Early shows Saturday & Sunday at 4pm.
VERSUS
11pm

Playing through May 29 at the Grand Illusion (somewhere in the U-District--I just go to school here, I don't know where anything is).

Here is the website w/ more info and times:
http://www.wigglyworld.org/grandillusion/

Sounds like fun... perhaps I will even go and see these in the theater.

Check out their blurb on VERSUS, "First-time writer/director Ryuhei Kitamura tears the proverbial roof off with this undead-Japanese-gangsters-battling-immortal-samurai-zombies barnburner! In a cursed forest that doubles as a portal to (and from) the afterlife, a white-knuckle splatterbattle decides the destiny of mankind. A stylishly violent heartstopping full-tilt action feature combining gore, action, gore, comedy and gore, VERSUS features enough bazooka blasts, mid-air swordfights and ventilated abdomens to have you in traction for months."

I must see this... zombies, gangsters and samurai... throw in hot chicks and this is the perfect movie.

[Ken17625]

"Thursday" was pretty good. "Minus Man" was good too.

And everyone's favorites "Platoon", and "Apocalypse Now".


Metale, I seen "Red Planet", it was ok. I thought "Pitch Black" was better though.

[Krell]

This sounds like just the futuristic diversion that I need while I wait for T-X to show her arse up. I dunno about those afternoon show times tho, I prefer dark.

http://www.wigglyworld.org/about/directions.shtml


Or maybe I will stay all evening! Now if I could find a date that can stomach these films . . . . .

Sat, May 24
DEAD OR ALIVE: FINAL
6:30pm
Early show Friday at 4:30pm.
AUDITION <<<-------------------------------- ! ! !
8:30pm
Early shows Saturday & Sunday at 4pm.
VERSUS
11pm



AUDITION is Miike’s best known feature and was picked as one of 2001’s top films in a poll of 40 critics. Deceptively innocent at first, the film follows Aoyama, a middle-aged widower with the desire to start dating again. Staging a false audition for a nonexistent film role, Aoyama falls for the demure actress Asami, a former ballerina with a suspicious past. Their courtship jaggedly veers from polite romance to psychotic nightmare, ultimately leading to a finale so disturbing that you’ll never want to date again. AUDITION is the ultimate work of jarring provocative cinema by the current master of the art.

“Miike is such a compelling filmmaker that he makes it hard to turn away from the unspeakable.” –Los Angeles Times

In Japanese with English subtitles.

…and watch for Takashi Miike's controversial unedited director's cut of ICHI THE KILLER kicking off our Summer calendar!!!

[broadwayrock]

Apparently theres a remake of 'dawn of the dead' (Night of the Living Dead 2) in the pipeline.

That was my fav Living dead.

I'm not looking forward to T3. Seeing that neither James Cameron, and the other two actors in T2 didnt want anything to do with it.

The actress who played Sarah Connor (forgot her name) described the screenplay as 'souless' and refused to do it.

Can T3 compete with the Matrix sequels or lord of the rings type of blockbusters? I dunno

Whatever it turns out to be like i'll wait till it comes out on video.

[wingnut2600]

I fear this remake... it will suck in comparison to the original... however, someday there will be a Dead IV, Romero has written the script and will make it when he has funding... I have heard that it is in the works (hoping).

[Mel_Smiley]

I wish I had Barton Fink. been meaning to looking for the DVD for awhile

[Krell]

You mean the one thats 688.51 Mb?

yahhhhh thats the ticket, get the DVD

[Mel_Smiley]

Hmmm, I'll have to look for that DVD, I've not seen it around. Ever
450?? I thought I had a collection!!! about half that

[Krell]

You mean how many titles I have? Yah in that range, I lost count, and I dont care to try to recount !

Most are on CD, I leave some stuff to share (100Gb or so) just so I can get more.

Since the 18th, I have finished another 26 titles, with a few dozen more in progress.

[Mel_Smiley]

I have a ton of television shows. what about Tales From The crypt or The Outer Limits? Any of that stuf on DVD?? never seen those either!!

[Krell]

The Outer Limits = a few dozen titles at a glance, and TFTC, the movies, like Bordello of Blood, which, without Angie Everheart would be even less useless.

[Mel_Smiley]

I was a Tales from the Crypt HBO TV series junkie. I liked the Hitch Hiker series too. Never watched any TFTC movies, Corey Feildman scares me enough. I need to look other places I guess. ok here's one, Night Gallery, Rod serlings 70's show? Hmmm??

[Krell]

Yah I am also a big Tales fan, and Night Gallery was one of the scariest series ever. The music and imagery for the prgram is disturbing.

Youre not going to find too much in the way of these.

Yah The two Coreys are about as scary as the Olsen twins.


Anyone ever seen "Parents" or "Sisters"





How about "Alien Avengers" aka "Welcome to Planet Earth"

EXCELLENT

Three extraterrestrials leave their beautiful and peaceful planet to vacation on Earth. These blue blooded (literally) aliens look just like us, except that thay have extraordinary strength and are practically invincible. They are a family group, comprised of a set of parents, Charlie (George Wendt) and Rhonda (Shanna Reed), and their nubile, teenage daughter, Daphne (Anastasia Sakelaris). After landing in a depressed area, they rent rooms for an exhorbitant sum. They befriend their landlord, Joseph (Christopher M. Brown), a petty crook now trying to stay on the straight and narrow (lucky for him) by running his mother's boarding house. From there, mom and pop go on the prowl for bad guys. Charles Bronson in "Death Wish" has nothing on them!

This movie is outrageously funny, though somewhat macabre, as these civic minded aliens dispense their own unique brand of criminal justice. The portly George Wendt and the Betty Crockerish Shanna Reed are absolutely hilarious as they act out their vigilante fantasies on our planet. Their delight in doing so is infectious, and their appearance is a clever counterpoint to their actions. Anastasia Sakelaris is terrific as their lovely daughter. English not being her first language, her malapropisms add an additional deft, comedic touch. Christopher M. Brown capably plays the part of Joseph, the landlord who knows that his tenants are a bit off the mark but cannot quite put his finger on it. The only problem with this movie is that the production values are somewhat low. The aliens' space pod looks like it was made in someone's garage, so cheap and shoddy are the production values. Still, this is a movie well worth seeing, as it is just so darn funny.

Chainsaw Massacre 74'
Phantasm 1-4
Omen
Amityville
Exorcist
People under the stairs

Some of my favorite Horror films!:fire

[Mel_Smiley]

I thought Identity was a good thriller with a nice twist.

[ThePillarOfAutumn]

I never heard of this movie until i went to see it with my friends one night and had nothign else to watch since we preety much saw everything that has been out . So we went to see Identity.

i had no idea what the hell it was - but man was it ever a kick ass movie - i loved it - just like i love Fight Club.

I like those type of movies - they fucc with my mind man

LOL :shy

I highly Recommend It

[Mel_Smiley]

Just watched the Animatrix last night and for anyone who likes the Matrix you MUST get it today and watch it too. Your missing some shit http://www.intothematrix.com/ here you can see a few eps

[broadwayrock]

Hey Krell

I like your your 'Versus' logo

Is the film any good? I'm getting it soon

[Krell]

I will know in 13 minutes and 22 seconds

Watched Dark Waters last night, very "Ringu"

[Krell]

Ho - Leeee Shmoke ! ! !



What do you get when you combine

the visual style of John Woo
the special effects like Crouching Tiger - Hidden Dragon
a little Highlander
the gore from Ichi The Killer
Night of the Living Dead martial arts zombies
about 137 seperate body arts, not including guts
humorous scenes
killer sound track


VERSUS

It's a keeper !

This film has some seriously funny moments, rent the DVD or 2 cd set soon.

[broadwayrock]

Krell, Ive just seen 'Versus'

WOW!

I'ts a great film.

There are similarities with 'Evil dead' and the ocasional Matrixism.

Mmmmmmmmm intestines.

Anyone who lives in the uk might be interested that the adam & joe show on Channel 4 probably be showing the trailer for 'Battle Royale 2'

It is unlikely that the 'Battle Royale 2' will be released in the US as the film contains scenes similar to 9/11

[Potato]

I didn't care for Identity that much because... once I knew the big "secret", I stopped caring about the characters.... it didn't matter to me anymore.

And... the Big Hit.... hmm...... Mark Wahlberg.... mmm... :fire
