But I guess to really enjoy a horror film you have to:

  1. Watch it alone. Especially any smart ass making comments about logical fallacies in the plot, making jokes about the monsters,… is killing the fun.
  2. Watch it at night.
  3. Watch it with a beamer.

Pardon my stupidity… but what’s a BEAMER?

A BMW motorcycle. I’m still confused.

Shaun of the Dead is freaking hilarious, Hot Fuzz is great too it has a great pay off at the end.

Galaxy Quest is probably one of the funniest and best Star Trek movies, that wasn’t about Star Trek. Its one of my all time favorites. The villian was pretty badass too.

  1. “Me and You and Everyone We Know” -Directed by Miranda July (2005) This one did well at festivals but, certainly due to its artistic nature, did not fare well in US cinemas.

2)“Lust Caution” - Ang Lee. Not “Brokeback Mounting”, “Not Crouching Tiger”, but “Lust Caution” is Ang Lee’s masterpiece. Yet, it didn’t do that well in US movie houses. Oh yeah, not too many people have seen his other masterpiece, “Ice Storm”.

  1. “Solaris” -Andrei Tarkovsky. Don’t confuse this one with the piece of shit Soderbergh put out. It’s understandable why it has never done well in the U.S.: it’s very slow and you had better read the novel by Lem upon which it is based.

  2. “Mulholland Drive” and “Blue Velvet” by David Lynch. As far as I’m concerned, David Lynch is to contemporary American society as Balzac was to 19th century French society.

I’ll stop there. There are so many that I could spend the next week writing them down.

Idiocracy by the people that made Office Space. Fox keeps fucking up and putting the release out when other big name movies are coming out.

Last Star Fighter…cheesy but fun. Watched it a bunch when I was kid.

Ang Lee has made a lot of great movies, unfortunately he has also made a lot of crap(Brokeback, The Hulk). Eat Drink Man Women is an amazing movie(and if you are at all interested in cooking, it’s porn)as well as The Wedding Banquet(which is about a gay guy, his boyfriend, and a women he marries to convince his parents he’s not gay).

I haven’t seen Lust Caution yet, but it’s in my Netflix.

Where my MST3K peeps at?

I liked both of those. Avalon was one that I really liked. A Polish production of sci-fi/thriller fare that was pretty damn good.

Pardon my bad English… it should have been projector. I tend to forget that while the word we use here in Switzerland for projector sounds English but actually isn’t.

P.S.: Full-HD projectors starting to cost less than 2’000 CHF/USD. Yes! Think I gonna buy one before the end of this year.

Glengarry Glen Ross

Endless Summer - an old Surfing movie

I cant believe no one has said this one but The Salton Sea with Val Kilmer. GREAT MOVIE!! This one isnt really that good of a movie, actually it is probably down right God awful but Guyver.

(Edit) Just thinking about other Kilmer movies I would put The Ghost and the Darkness up here, never got much love

78

Wizards Ralph Bashkie(I think that’s how you spell it). He also did the 60’s Spiderman cartoon and was going to do a Thor one. Wizards, originally titled War Wizards(was changed due to some low budget indie film named Star Wars) was the story of two brothers born after a nuclear war. One brother is good the other evil. The evil one tries to take over the world using old Propaganda WWII news reals(which are interwoven into the film) as a means to get his minions to fight.

Endless Summer… wasn’t that Jan Vincent? These guys are surfers and worried about getting shipped off to Vietnam right? If so, I remember that flick.

Speaking of Vietnam any remember A Rumor of War starring Brad Davis the guy who was in Midnight Express? That was a pretty good Nam movie.

And speaking of Jan Vincent any remember Baby Blue Marine? Pretty good WWII era movie.

Layer Cake- starring daniel craig

Anything directed by Guy Ritchie

Apocalypto- Mel Gibson directed it, but other than that it was a really good movie.

Cidade De Deus (City of God)
