I did a survey once that told me that my life was like The Big Lebowski. That's wild, it's a great movie, but I always felt like my life was more like Barberella meets Tomb Raider. I don't know. Does anyone remember a movie in the 80's called "Dead Friend". Ooooh that was a great cult film concept. I think I may have watched it on cable a million times and yet I can't find it anywhere. The Lord of the Rings trillogy was good. I especially love the first. The army of monsters were awesome. I wanted to see more of them in the film. Fritz Lang's Metropolis is the marvel of creation to me. The sci-fi concept is still very hot. No remakes of that film yet? Can't touch it. Why oh why did they remake The War Of The Worlds. The original was such a masterpiece. Logan's Run was one of those sci-fi movies made in the 70's that just blew my mind. Michael York was so gorgeous in that film. All the stars of that movie were good looking. I guess everyone had to be good looking since it was sort of a utopia that they were living in. The example of a perfect society with so many horrible flaws. Scarface was a great movie. The acting was phenominal. Pacino! What else can be said. I had a crush on him. Scarface was a survivor and made no mistakes about being the bad guy, but he was just like an average guy in a way that put his face in a mountain of coke and carried an uzi. lol. Did you ever see The Betsy? What a movie with Sir Laurence Olivier. What about the Boys From Brazil? Peck was in that one. It was awesome. Everyone loves The Shinning. for me as a kid, the scariest scene was the huge wave of blood filling the hotel lobby and "red rum". Dangerous Liaison with Glen Close was really good. Anne Bennett did another version of that called Valmont which was quite good as well. The original Dune with Kyle McGlochlin was such an influencial movie to me as a child. And I had a big crush on Kyle. I liked the remake mini-series that was on the Sci-Fi channel, but I am not a big fan of remakes. Creat a new idea and run with it. I don't care if you knock off a few ideas either. Like Battlestar Galactica. They changed everything. They should have called it something else. But I am getting off course. Battlestar Galactica is not a movie so I'll talk about it in the Television section below. Has anyone seen the Mystery of Chess Boxing? It's an awsome classic Kung-fu 70's film with a charachter called Ghostfaced Killer... Sounds familar? That's where the rapper got his name. Fight Club was really good. Loved the twist at the end. Other great movies I can remember are Requiem For A Dream, Barton Fink, The Outsiders, Sixteen Candles, Revenge of the Shogun Women, A Bronx Tale, The Warriors, Clockwork Orange, The Color Purple, To Kill a Mockingbird, Army of Darkness, Videodrome, Inner Space, The Professional, Risky Business, Breakfast Club, Blade Runner, Born Invincible, Citizen Kane, The Adventures of Baron Munchausen, Willow, Barbarella, Godfather, Casablanca, Alien, Aliens, The Day the Earth Stood Still, Back to the Future, The Hidden, Eyes of Laura Mars, The Great Gastby, All About Eve, The Egyptian, Planet of the Apes (original, though I love them all), Highlander - original first, Matrix - 1999, The Road Warrior, The Fly, The Mummy - 1959 (& the remake is pretty good too), Terminator (original), The Time Machine, Life Force, Star Wars -1977, Empire Strikes Back - 1980, Total Recall, Invasion of the Body Snatchers, War of the Worlds, Heavy Metal, Sleuth, Whatever happened to Baby Jane, Gigi, The Exorcist, Enemy Mine, La Femme Nikita (the one with the french actress), Fahrenheit 451 (this is a great scifi story about "firemen" who find and burn books because they are outlawed in the proposed future.), Cotton Club (Diane lane and Richard Gere. Execellent film), Auntie Mame, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, The Omen (original), Mutiny on the Bounty (original), The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, Some Like it Hot, Adventures of Hans Christian Andersen, West Side Story, Boys from Brazil (Sir Laurence Olivier), Excalibur, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Purple Rose of Cairo, Dead Zone, Dreamscape, They Live, Thelma and Louise, Brazil, Blade, Dracula (1979 with Frank Langela! He rocked it!), and The Sound of Music. Does anyone remember The Wraith (with Charlie Sheen) - a wonderful little B movie from the 80's - great metal songs.
