The one on Netflix (only version I've seen) only contains Classical music.

Well there's the difference then. The version i saw has "Is Your Love Strong Enough" by Bryan Ferry and was mainly scored by Tangerine Dream. It also has another song in it written by Jon Anderson of Yes. Can't think of the name. It's all pretty good.

I can't imagine this film with Roxy Music. I saw it on TV late 80s, I don't remember the music, but I'm pretty sure it was classical/instrumental.

On the DVD I have, the soundtrack is by Tangerine Dream

The Bloofer Lady 04-30-2016 04:42 PM

So it's sounds like some people haven't seen LEGEND with what I think is a pretty awesome soundtrack. It's half of what I enjoyed about it. ::confused::


HOUSEBOAT HORROR 1989

Fairly decent cheese from down under. A film crew and rock band are terrorized (and slashed) by a Jason-like character on their rented houseboat.

It must be a very different experience at least.

Also, on Youtube I see there is a 1 and a half hour version, a 1 hour and 50 minutes version and a 2 hours and 17 minutes version. All with the classical soundtrack. I'm pretty sure I've only seen the 1 and a half hour version.

Charles Bronson vs a psycho killer.
It's no Death Wish, but it's alright.

ZOMBIE NIGHTMARE 1987

Well, I can certainly vouch that it was a nightmare. But I live for this stuff.

Not A Love Story: A Film About Pornography(1981)

Found this doc via the Nightmares In Wax EP(Dead Alive before they were Dead Alive)

NSFW

TW:basically most you can think of. Graphic sex, restraints, violence, etc.

Its upsetting and still worth a watch. I can see why Gloria Steinem wrote in an essay from around that time that S&M was another form of patriarchy. Not commenting that is or is not.

The quality of the film isn't great. Its from 1981 and seems to have degraded a bit over that time.

Its on youtube, but not going to imbed it due to the graphic nature of the film. Just linking it.

The Baby (1973) 7/10 Really odd. I'd heard good things about Anjanette Comer (library has all of Harlan Ellison's TV and movie reviews as ebooks) so I thought I'd give it a shot. Slows down too much in the middle, but the ending is worth it. Did not see that coming.

Alice, Sweet Alice (1976) 6/10 Recommended on "The 50 Best Horror Movies You've Never Seen". More worth watching as a documentary on life in the 1970s than a horror movie. Huge cars, huge phones, everybody has a cigarette.

Oh man, I remember Tangerine Dream. They did the soundtrack to Flashpoint, one of my favorites.

THE POSSESSION OF JOEL DELANEY 1972


I can't believe I hadn't seen this sooner. A divorced socialite slowly begins to realize that the younger brother she dotes on may very well be possessed.

Shirley McClaine was just beautiful in every way.

I remember seeing this years ago, and not liking it. I don't remember why, so I should probably watch it again. I loved the book.

You know, while I was watching it, I kept thinking it felt familiar...had I read a book? I think I must of. Yep, I really enjoyed the film.

The Zero Boys (1986) - 7.5/10

Entertaining low budget action/horror hybrid.

FRIDAY, THE 13th (1980) Probably going on a limb here...While HALLOWEEN is the "better" film, think this has aged better and still find it scary as hell...although not so scary as when I saw as an 18 year old. Maybe because the killer is human and the kills are really hard hitting. Betsy Palmer and Adrianne King really bring it and next to the incredibly stacked Deborah Voorhees (the only redeeming feature in Part 5), Jeannine Taylor is my favorite FRIDAY girl...just gorgeous! ****1/2

The Sinful Dwarf

Quite an unusual bit of cinema. Not much of a "Dwarfsploitation" fan, but this one intrigues me.

This film was lovely. I think the lead is Donald Pleasence's daughter...

It was my 1st viewing Lady, I really enjoyed it.


The Exorcist-1973. Curse this movie. I'm an adult & it still creeps me out.


Dawn of the Dead-1978. I've yet to see the remake....has anyone else??

If you like the original, you'd probably like the remake. High production value. Cool opening. Then old ground. It's pretty forgettable.

"Possession" (1981) 6/10

A tour de force in acting by both Sam Neil and Isabelle Adjani, but I wonder if either of them were actually proud of the outcome of this movie or they thought it was complete garbage.

First 50 minutes were really boring, then it turned really weird in a Naked Lunch/Videodrome kinda way. Needless to say I didn't get it. I believe it was just weird for the sake of being weird.

Dead of Winter (1987)

http://s33.postimg.org/735a5q0zj/DOW.jpg

A beautifully done great thriller starring Mary Steenburgen on the lead. If you're a fan of or haven't seen an 80s thriller/horror for a while, then please give it a try. You'll love it; particularly for Roddy McDowall and Jan Rubes, they were stellar in their respective roles.

Fantastic film.

WHITE DOG (1982). Although Paramount may have tried to market this as a Horror film before kicking it to the curb, found it to be quite good and a pretty searing turn on racism, back before we were all so damn PC. ***1/2

The director also made the excellent Shock Corridor as well as the seminal war movie, The Big Red One.
