What the hell is THX 3691?

Anarky 06-09-2005 06:13 AM

Probably the sequel to THX 3690. :D

Favourite Sci-Fi/horror movies... hmmm. Difficult.
  • Escape from New York/L.A.: I don't think I need to cemment on that. :D
  • 28 days later: I just love the shots of empty London. And the story is classic
  • Waterworld: Sure, Kevin Costner is not at his best in that movie, but I somehow like the thought of the world covered with water.
  • Alien I-III: Giger's creation never ceases to amaze me. I mean, that thing is just nasty
  • Predator I-II: The greatest hunter of the galaxy always manages to make me watch the movies... over and over again.
  • Banlieue 13: Just one hell of an action movie
  • Ganheddo: Some cheesy japanese mecha-movie that deals about some mineral known as Texmexium. Plot is pretty bad, but I felt greatly entertained.

That's it.. for now.

In the Mouth of Madness: the last good movie John Carpenter ever made and easily one of his best. It hits everything that makes an H.P. Lovecraft story so creepy and mind-blowing with perfection. Sam Neil's performance is also one of the better parts of the movie. Just awesome; maybe my favorite GOOD horror movie.

An American Werewolf in London: The Howling was cluttered with too much bad acting and terminally ugly people for my tastes, which is why American Werewolf is the superior werewolf movie in my eyes. The acting, direction and special effects were just awesome, and the movie is own-right hilarious without turning into a rediculous spoof (it's dark comedy at it's finest).

Basket Case: Let me describe this movie to you. A guy goes around carrying a large wicker basket with him where-ever he goes. He won't let anyone look inside the basket but he can be seen throwing hot dogs and hamburgers in it to feed something. Later we find out that the thing in the basket is Belial, his deformed siamese twin. The two go about getting revenge on the doctors that seperated them. Oh, and Belial is all puppet and stop-motion. Hard core.

Ghostbusters: Must I really describe this one? Okay, but only because I want to. Ghostbusters is the perfect movie, IMO. It has everything. Top-notch humor, monsters, action, a spectacular cast, clever writing, EVERYTHING. It was just an awesome concept brought to life brilliantly (save for some of the special effects that didn't withstand the test of time). Just a damn good movie in almost every way.

Transformers the Movie: 80-minute toy commercial at it's finest. THe story was something unheard of; introduce the grim realities of war into a children's cartoon show. The music rocked if you like 80's poprock (I own the soundtrack), and the animation was actually very impressive (save for some errors that were more logic errors than animation ones). And, of course, the fight between Megatron and Optimus owned. The second half of the movie featuring all the new toys/characters was kinda weak, but the movie is still fun to watch.

Rock & Roll Nightmare: This is a movie everyone needs to see, IMO. Basically some guy named Jon Mikle Thor wanted to get his band on the fast track to fame and fortune, so he made a low-budget horror film that was supposed to blow everyone away. The result was one of the most painful movie experiences of my life...but in an awesome way. At the end of the movie Thor starts fighting plastic demon starfishes. That was worth the 2-hour wait.

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: Some people call this a snuff film, and in a way it is, but it's a damn good snuff film. The movie is very relentlessly paced, even after multiple watchings you'll stil be anxious as Sally rusn through the woods from Leatherface. The movie also never degrads to slasher-territory like all the sequels did and isn't even remotely about Leatherface. The movie is very in-your-face in that for something made in the 70's, it broke a lot of rules. The entire dinner sequence with Grandpa is proof of that. Awesome film.

I'll think of more in a little while.

You should all be ashamed for not having the original Dawn of the Dead on your lists. :evil:

Damn, I totally forgot about those. I should have at least remembered Mad Max II, since that brought me into the series. I'm just stupid.

Reminded me more of GI Joe.

Ahnold = Flint
Jesse Ventura = Recondo
Indian Guy = Spirit
Mac = Roadblock

Etc.

And the Evil Dead trilogy is awesome, I thought that went without saying.

Evil Dead 1 and 2
Alien and Aliens
Star Wars
Shaun Of the Dead.
Night/Dawn/Day of the dead

Gamera vs. Guiron.

verminator_x 06-14-2005 02:26 AM

oh i forgot the classic movies the omega man ok today it looks weird but back then it was huge, danny boyles 28 days is based on the omega man. but boyles version is more scaryier.
dune is another classic sci/fi movie from the 80s even popstar sting is in it.

That Matt Guy 06-14-2005 03:31 AM

Dune... yeah. David Lynch turned down the chance to direct Return of the Jedi to do Dune. I wish he had done Jedi instead.

Yeah, the first Dune-movie just plain sucked. It was way to complicated and people still have no chance to get what it's all about unless they know the book, which is totally missing the sense of a movie (the same goes with 1984. Great story but there are too many hints you'll only get when you read the book).

But talking about Dune, the new TV-movies (you know, the ones with the Muaddib and stuff) were quite good.
