Oh yeah...Cube is decent. Unfortunately Cube 2: Hypercube sucks.

King of Hearts - a good one. It ran at a theatre in Cambridge, MA for 20 years.

Near Dark, one of the more thought-provoking vampire movies I've ever seen.

1)'Bodymelt' awesome if strange Aussie horror. It has a scene where a pregnant woman is attacked by her own placenta.

2) The other 'Deadman Walking' .....futuristic dystopia ....actually it's a fucking awful film but it has Jeffrey combs in it and he gets buried up to the neck so that's pretty cool.

3) 'It's all Gone Pete Tong'.....excellent film, have any of you seen it?

4) 'From Beyond' ..... terrible terrible...but in a cool way.

5) 'The Bird with Crystal plumage' Dario Argento at his best.

6) 'In the Woods' The short film which led to Evil Dead.

Thanks, Maggie. Ordered it this evening from Amazon. Can't wait to see it again.

Fritz...that reminds me.

I remember years ago, when I was about ten, our kid got a video out which was awesome. It was a cartoon, and set in some fantasy land during a ww2 style conflict. The only thing I really remember about it was that the war was between fairies and some other group and a character shouting "Fritz! fritz! those goddamn fairies ...they killed fritz!"

Oh...yeah and I think there was a giant dickshaped ballon in it too.....
I remember it being funny and very rude and quite dark....but that's about all. Anyone have even the vaguest notion as to which film that was? That wasn't fritz the cat right?

DanaC 06-12-2006 05:52 PM

Ha! It's ok.....I just had a flash of inspiration and googled my vague notion.....Film was called Wizards (1977) if you can see it , see it, it's funny as fuck....but I may have imagined the giant dick balloon.

(Was called 'War Wizards' in the US)

Reading through it now, I remember how chilling it was in places too.

What about Batteries Not Included? Anyone seen that?
Or what about the movie with a black cat that could talk and move stuff by telekensis? That's all I remember. Good stuff though.

Derivative...kind of a cutrate "Cheech Wizard"/"Sunpot". Most Bakshi is somewhere between "kinda disappointing" and "very disappointing".

"Fairies bad, not good, go around."

I've seen it several times, probably have a copy on VHS somewhere. It was just called "Wizards" here. Cool animation, heavy-handed message.

Bakshi's LOTR was cool-ish, but I hate LOTR, so object to it on that basis, much as I like Bakshi.

Morgan! (A Suitable Case for Treatment)
The Slender Thread
Dark City (has been on power rotation on Encore this month, reminding me of how cool this movie is)
