Best movies ever?

Old school Universal horror for me. Visible cardboard taped to lamps to provide the desired lighting. “We are deep in the Amazon. Oh look, a telephone pole.” I love that B movie stuff.

I wish more people would discuss the historical inaccuracy of the regular evening news.  What a joke!

Good article Marc.

Pink Flyod is what I grew up on in Junior and Senior High…can’t say anything else that would get me in trouble… :wink:

I love Oasis’s first US album.  Wonderwall, Morning Glory, and Champagne Supernova are songs I can use to reference every major event in 1995-6.

Lewis is my favorite actor ( living), he can do no wrong in any movie. Lincoln gets my vote

If you listen to him in his natural voice, it’s almost impossible that he can be any of the characters he portrays.

Well one time when I was 18 I had broken my leg so I had a cast from my ankle to half way up my thigh.  My buddy was riding me double on his bicycle downhill on Niagara St.  We past a cruiser who pulled a U-turn.  My bud was nimble on the bike and by the time the cruiser had down his 180, my friend road us between Time Square and the canal in the rear parking lot.  We squeezed between two buildings, left the bike in tall grass and the cruiser slowly drove past us, missed us hiding in debris and left us alone.  Not bad on one leg if I do say so myself!  Riding double on a bicycle with a broken leg…not sure why we were so scared of the heat!  Oh yeah, no headlight on the bicycle…

A: 96 Panthers ( 2nd year in league, end of story )
B: 03 Panthers should have won! We were better than them, but all the Brady-ites messed it up!
C: 09 Panthers ( Delhomme’s fault )
D: 05 Panthers ( Injuries fault )
E: 06 Panthers ( Slinkey Weinke’s fault )
F: 11 Panthers ( Schedule Maker’s fault )

I think i figured it would be gory or scary, but due to the utter contrived nonsense, it became something of a comedy. The problem is this was not the intention or was it?

I can suspend belief when watching the Three Stooges because they are trying to be funny. It is deliberate. This was like what they did in “Not another teen movie”

When a movie gets so ridiculously contrived that it becomes a self parody and that was never the intention and the actors are not cracking jokes and it turns into a Filipino vampire style movie that you might see on mystery science theater 3000, THEN it becomes either the biggest letdown or pure comedy. Something like Trilogy of Terror had a genuine quality of putting the viewer on edge because the plot did not try to emulate a Wile E. Coyote cartoon complete with uber mega-contrived roadrunner traps. To me it became a spoof like Plan 9 from outer space, except whoever made it figured they were actually scarring people, rather than make them laugh. It went way beyond any dignity that could be covered under “suspension of belief”

Probably why so many of those comedy spoofs use it as a plot device like scary movie. It became the joke of comedies like Freddy Krugger and sold more Pepsi.

What would have been great if they got somebody like Curly and they put him into one of these mutilation machines, and the saw just broke apart trying to saw off his head. That would have been a fitting scene in that movie. Or they could have redone the scene where they pull teeth and done this:

I really wanted to walk out on this stupid ass movie, but I stayed till the end.  Dumbest movie since “Swing Kids”.

Did you know the Nazis didn’t like dancing?  They also hated Rainbows and kittens as well.

Ya know, it’s not fair.  The Holocaust gets all the publicity and no one ever remembers the poor swing kids who were not allowed to dance.  It is like the the “flash dance” of the 30s and 40s.
