nice selection razor. most of the movies on the list i like too. i also like ghost buster and for some bizzare reason, mario brothers. i like a lot of comedy movies (movies that make you really laugh, unlike those stupid comedies that are plain stupid). i just dislike sappy movies and horror movies since they don't make you laugh are they don't look cool. i also like gundam movies too

all you might say.

Horror movies could be funny if you find humor in death...Like me

Yeah.. I have to agree there. A major dissapoint for a Clancy plot. Either it was edited out to much for post 9/11 realism or something.. but I didn't feel any emotion or pity towards the end. They dulled it so much and put all the focus on the President. Bleh.

Terminator 1 and 2... muuuch better (despite it's sci-fi standpoint). Or as far a real war goes, Saving Private Ryan. Very good. Stands up to Platoon.

Yeah.. I'm one of the rare and few chics who LIKE action, war, and good horror movies!

I'm selective with which horror ones I like. I don't get much into the run of the mill Jason/Freddy/Halloween sort of things, where there is one creepy dude going around killing all the teenage girls and guys in a group of friends. *yawn* (Scream and Scary movie were a pretty funny jab at those though)

I like more of the pyschological and somewhat messy ones, like HellRaiser, the Shining, the Hannibal series, and the remake of House on Haunted Hill. The new one called the Ring looks plenty creepy too. Oooo...

**Karpo_007** · 11-05-2002, 10:48 AM

Yeah Terminator movies are classics, Sum of all fears just ordinary Hollywood action film...

Heh, it's "REZnorite...", but I can see why you made that mistake

EDIT: And thanks for mentioning the Ghostbusters movies; forgot to put those on there as well.

Another one I would recommend (I just finished watching it today) is Finding Forrester.

**HorseTechie** · 11-05-2002, 11:23 AM

Finding Forrestor... *gasp* there's one I hadn't seen yet!

Forrest Gump is good though.

*Vespera Blaze* · 11-05-2002, 12:41 PM

Hmmm...Everyone seems to be naming great movies. The ones on my list are only for when you're in the mood for the... *duh duh DUH* Killer B's

These are the best of the worst in my opinion

1. Faster Pussycat Kill! Kill!
2. Cannibal: The Musical
3. Cannibal Women in the Avacado Jungle of Death
4. Nymphoid Barbarians in Dinosaur Hell
5. Werewolves on Wheels
6. Chopper Chicks in Zombie Town
7. Killer Clowns From Outerspace

*Brodie* · 11-05-2002, 01:25 PM

Ok, Rez, You're stating that I should be defecated on by a wild boar for stating Resident Evil, yet you put Pauly Shore movies on your list... And plus, I love RE, the movie was good, not as good as the games, but good. Resident Evil is an amazing franchise. Capcom had no idea what they had when they made RE1. And think about it, think of where Resident Evil is now, and will be, and think of Pauly Shore... Where is his life going...? Not to mention his career.

And you placed "Every Star Wars Movie"
Did you see Episode 2? Were you awake? I know it's easy to fall asleep through that thing, but seriously. It bit. Hayden should be tarred and feathered. He has no emotion, he's like an effin' robot. His part could be better acted out by Bruce Campbell. Skelleton-Dude will back me up.

But I do admit, most of your list is good, I.E. the Crow Movies.
And a P.S., Killer Clowns From Outer SPace: Great B movie, It gets me all excited when Sci-Fi plays it.

Mouse · 11-05-2002, 02:14 PM

i recommend
-WILD HEARTS CAN'T BE BROKEN
-THE BLACK STALLION
-RETURN OF THE BLACK STALLION
-BLACK BEAUTY
-STAR WARS(all of them)
-STAR TREK(all of them)
-anything sci-fi
-anything fantasy
-anything martial arts
-BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA
tons more...

**Karpo_007** · 11-05-2002, 03:47 PM

Resident evil games are good, but the movie is pretty much crap. Too kiddified, you can hardly see any blood in it.

*Kameko* · 11-05-2002, 06:04 PM

I recomend:

Crocodile Dundee I, II, & III
Ghostbusters I & II
Karate Kid I
Dragonheart
Shrek
Monsters Inc.
X-Men
The Matrix
Planet of the Apes (the new one)
LiarLiar
Original Star Wars Trilogy
Lord of the Rings
Spaceballs
Robin Hood: Men In Tights
Austin Powers I & II (Don't crucify me, I just haven't seen the third one)

That's all I can think of right now. And it is, of course, leaving out the TMNT flicks.

You don't understand...it's not that I don't like RE, it's that the movie itself was corny, cheesy, horrible effects and acting...just downright awful. And anyway, I guess you didn't notice the small row of smilies I put, which indicates that I'm just screwing around with you.

Quote:

Perhaps, but the ones I listed were made YEARS ago...I'm not concerned with how he is now. Besides, I didn't like them for Pauly Shore...I liked them because they made me laugh.

Quote:

All the way.

Quote:

Well, sorry to hear that it didn't satisfy your 100% action craving, but it was an integral part to the story. I will agree with you on Hayden Christensen's part, but like I said above, I saw it for the sake of seeing it, not to pick at the acting.

If I already listed these, then quote where I said it in the list, please:

-The Evil Dead
-Evil Dead 2
-Army of Darkness

Your mention of Bruce Campbell sparked the idea.

*Kameko* · 11-05-2002, 07:47 PM

Ooh, Ooh! I just thought of another one!

TITAN A.E.

That was an AWESOME movie, man!!!

*Brodie* · 11-05-2002, 08:16 PM

Mentioning Bruce Campbell, I just got the new McFarlane Ash Vs. Evil Ash 2-pack. This set is AMAZING! The detail, is fantastic, the hair, blood, cuts, slashes, Bruce Campbell's chin. Interchangable hands(Well, mechanical hand and chainsaw...), The Necronomicon Ex Mortus, Tiny evil Ash with the fork (Even has a grin!!). Evil Ash has a tattered cloth cape... These are two of the most amazing toys I've ever seen. Hell, Ash by himself sells for $30. And the set of the two only cost $15.95.... Needless to say, this set is....Groovy...

Wow, if that didn't seem like a toy plug, I dunno what does.

Sure, RE the movie was corny, but it's the pure fact of knowing "Hey, this is based off a kickass game" It makes ya' feel all warm inside. Heh.

Along with the movie thing, TV shows may be a good thing.

I'd recommend Smallville, best tv show based around a comic book I've seen. I bet the new TMNT cartoon will be up there too.

**Karpo_007** · 11-06-2002, 04:15 AM

Well Resident evil games are pretty much based on the "Living dead" trilogy, So if you want a good Zombie movie, watch those.

**HorseTechie** · 11-06-2002, 10:07 AM

*no comment on Resident Evil* I don't play video games so.. heh...

*lol* I also like Star Wars, but ep 2 was bad. My husband DID fall asleep in the theatre (the only way to escape) and I got a headache cause the lite sabers were moving so fast i couldn't see the action. The only cool party was when Yoda kicked A.

Mouse... you liked the Black Stallion movies too?

I grew up watching those and collecting the book series. Buit I think the books were much better. THe second movie was changed tooo much for my liking.

And yes, Titan AE is cool too (as well as a fine peice of eye-candy). I don't know what they say it was like Star Wars. Hardly seems like it to me.

Oh... and another one of my favs: Braveheart. Freeeeeeedom!

And the Bruce Lee and Jet Li flicks are kick A too. Mmmm... !

**Karpo_007** · 11-06-2002, 01:57 PM

I love Star Wars, the original trilogy anyway. The new ones aren't that good... Basicly the Down fall started with Return of the Jedi. I have heard that some writer who helped to create the plot left after "Imperium stikes Back". Writing was left entirely to George Lucas and and then came the ewoks. Then gungans, and so forth. Return of the Jedi wasn't a bad movie, but it is the worts episode of the original trilogy.

**azure turtle** · 11-06-2002, 05:42 PM

Oh, you're right, HT! I forgot to mention many of the martial arts flicks I enjoy! Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, Jet Li, Michele Yeoh, Sammo Hung... They're all amazing. I love their movies!

Spike The Xenomorph · 11-06-2002, 05:44 PM

I mostly prefer the Jackie Chan & Bruce Lee's myself!

**Karpo_007** · 11-06-2002, 06:57 PM

I think that some Jetli movies are pretty cool. Like Twin warriors. I really like that..
