Understandable. But how does that movie seem to you now? The original Alien movie is much the same. Nothing like it before which made it scary as hell. But when I watch Alien today I still find it a great movie, even though it is quite old now. The Terminator is another old film that despite the (now) cheesy special effects I find still an amazing film. Halloween , for me, gets more retarded to me with age.
Halloween seems like a great movie to me now. I appreciate the atmosphere which age does not take away. The score still kicks ass. Donald Pleasance kicks ass. I enjoy watching it, because it's masterful filmmaking on a small budget. Same reason I still watch Texas Chainsaw Massacre and The Shining. I've been watching each of these for over 20 years, and they're all among my favorite movies. There's a reason these are deemed classics-because they remain effective decades after they were made.

By the way, Prince Of Darkness is a good movie. Not great, but good.

Psycho for example was the first of its kind and back then people had never seen anything like it and it scared the hell out of 'em but if you show it to someone today there's a 98 percent chance it wont do a thing for 'em. [/B]
We watched Psycho in my Film Studies class once, there were about 15 of us, a few, including myself had already seen it, but it did manage to scare/creep out at least three people. And that was in a brightly lit classroom with traffic noises outside, not bad eh?

Films I liked:

1. Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 - It was funny
2. Alien Vs Predator - I'm not sure if many people on this forum liked it or not? But I know a few people who don't.
3. Urban Legend - It was just an okay slasher...


Films I didn't like:

1. A Clockwork Orange - I know this isn't horror, but I really didn't like this film, I did turn it off half-way through. May give it another go thou.

I'm sure there are more I hate, but mind has gone blank O.O

Yeah, I didn't like Cabin Fever either, I really thought it was a bad movie and just ripped off others. Maybe I just missed something everyone else saw o.o

I too liked Ghosts of Mars.
Also The Gate II (check it out if you haven't seen it, pure crap...but really fun crap) and Jason X.

I didn't like:
28 Days Later (it's NOT a zombie movie!!!!!!)
House of 1000 Corpses
or any American remake of a Japanese horror movie.

It's still a damn good flick.

Watch Trainspotting and then 28 Days Later, then go take a walk.

I bet you you'll want a stiff drink before the day's over.

Titanic - if you're really honest with yourself, it's a damn exciting way to spend a few hours.

You've even got Kate's tits to shut the geeks up from slagging Leonardo for a bit.

Oh, and what about the bit when the ship is snapping in half and a few unfortunate souls lose their grip and bounce horribly off the rails on their way down?

i didnt find it exciting in the least - and i'm very honest with myself.

the 'railing scene' was the one moment that did get me ... when the girl looked into the other girls eyes knowing she was going to die from falling -

that was a long movie to get to that one bit ..


re Kate .. 2 seconds of tits ? ... rent a porno !

Liked:

-Blair With Project- Loved, actually. Thought it was superb filmmaking.

-Dreamcatcher- Book was excellent, so the movie was fun to watch aferwards.

-The Scream trilogy- I love these movies. The first Scream is on my top 5 list for sure. I don't give a flying fuck if they're "mainstream". They're damn good movies, and all have damn good endings.

Sorry to add another, but I also loved the Amityville remake. sorry, folks, it entertained me thoroughly.

Oh, and The Birds.

Disliked:

-Land of the Dead- We waited 20 years for the master of zombie movies' fourth installment, and this is all he could do?

The American Pie series- Everyone always love these movies, I never laughed once through any of them. Really dumb movies.

Yuck...How could you even WATCH that crap?...I couldn't...Even the previews were unbelievably stupid...

BH14 07-14-2005 08:44 AM

The 1st American Pie was funny to me but after that, they were pathetic. Just really bad.

meetthecreeper 07-14-2005 10:00 AM

American Pie I thru XXVIII, Theres something sleezy about Mary, and all these other teen movies.

I Fukin hate them. I just dont see what is funny about these films

BH14 07-14-2005 10:12 AM

Any movie that Ben Stiller touches is absolutly hilarious... Something about Mary, Meet the Parents and even Cable Guy which he directed... He is the funniest!!

Ben Stiller's a caveman with no sense of humor. He can only play 2 characters; the angry crazy guy or the bumbling idiot with terrible luck.

BH14 07-14-2005 01:11 PM

And he plays that bumbling idiot with no luck great... So you hated "Meet the Parents" and didnt find it funny? I really dont expect to see him playing in drama roles or getting oscars but is that a bad thing? I dont think so.. He does what he is good at. Chappelle and Will Ferrell are right up there with him... What comedy actor do you like? Jack Black, Carrot Top, Pauly Shore, etc.

They're made for 13 year old boys who think it's cool to see 8 seconds of boobs.

Believe me, I was one 3 years ago.
