Im a huge Silent film fan, I just thought this one was too long and boring. I loved Nosferatu, Metropolis, and Hunchback of Notre Dame though:)

All great films, try Vampyr (1932? too lazy to go look at my copy) it's not silient but the sound quality is so poor it might as well be. I believe it is originally a French film, and it is avaiable on DVD. I have taken to watching most silent films on my laptop, so I'm a lot closer, and can see the sub-titles a lot better.

Wow! A real classic, one of the best.

Le Manoir Du Diable (The Devil's Castle) is considered the first "horror" film, but I don't think there is any copies of it. We discussed it in film class along with a couple of other very early silent films, unfortunately a lot of them are not available, or lost to the ages...damned old nitrate film.

1896, George Melies. 2 minutes long, what an epic!

I just watched Zombi 2 [AKA Zombie]...wow, that was one hell of a movie! Loved it! The "Wood+Eye" scene was amazing, so was the shark/zombie fight....but I cant see why these scenes get so much attention, and the scene with [Name would be a spoiler] laying on the floor getting ripped apart get none....strange!

Isnīt it also called "Zombie flesh eaters"?


If so, i didnīt like it so much. "City of the dead" was way better, with the count Dracula look alike who could make people bleed from their eyes. That was nicely made.:)

Casper (1995):Family ghost movie with the "old" ghost, and some movie parodies on The Exorcist, Ghostbusters and so on.

Monsters Inc.:Pixars well deserved Oscar nominated computer animated movie withn many great scares, jokes and touching scenes.

When Harry Met Sally:Classic 80s comedy, including the famous NYC restaurant scene.

Because [Until last night] I handt watched a movie in weeks, Im going overboard today. So far, Jeckyl and Hyde, Zombi, and, most recently, Highwaymen.

Very good movie. Fairly original [Albiet VERY perdicatable] plot, decent acting [Colm Feore, great as usual], and one hell of an ending!!!
