Re: Re: George Romero's Films...Love them and rank them...
 

You must rent The Crazies and Two Evil Eyes right away. The Crazies is still one of his best but as far as Two Evil Eyes go...it's all about Argento on that one. Awesome story.

I haven't heard anything about Martin. :confused: Is it really good?

Re: ...
 

i guarantee you'll like it..

Re: Re: ...
 

Martin gooood

I really like George Romero and am looking to watch all his movies.
So far my list is

Dawn Of The Dead
Day Of The Dead
Land Of The Dead
Night Of The Living Dead
Creepshow
Monkey Shines
The Crazies

looked for Martin at Blockbuster but they didnt have it.:mad:I've heard only good things about it.

Soooo...... Martin IS horror... Isn't it a comedy horror?

Had to abort an attempted viewing of Martin some years ago, because it seemed shit - I'm sure I was wrong, so will have to give it another go.

Bruiser was a plain misfire - very odd.

Sorry, I was thinking of Willard, not martin, my mistake.

Ive hardly seen any...out of what Ive seen Night is easily the best.

I hated the end of the original Night otld

All that work for nothing...

What was there not to like? Downbeat and powerful, one of my all-time favourite endings.

Welll it was better than pet sematary's at least, and Mortuary

Havent seen either, but the book version of Pet Semetary had a pretty good ending as I recall. Cant remember exactly how it ended, but it left a good impression on me if nothing else.

I love the ending too. I think most people do.

I watched "there's always vanilla" last night - got it on a double-sided DVD with "Season of the Witch" aka "Jack's Wife". I thought it wasn't half bad - no horror, sort of hippie nonsense, but for a piece from the early 70s, it wasn't a badly made film. (Indeed, in my opinion as a piece of filmmaking, its better than the Crazies - though I enjoyed the Crazies more).

My List....

Dawn of the Dead
Night of the Living Dead
The Crazies
Day of the Dead
The Dark Half
Creepshow
Land of the Dead
Martin
Two Evil Eyes
Bruiser
Monkey Shines
Knightrider's
Season of the Witch

mortuary was horrible

just horrible

All films mentioned except martin? its not about some young guy with telekinetic powers is it?
Day of the dead and the crazies r the better ones for me. crazies reminds me of SK The Stand and 28 days later......in a similar vein.....

fuck .. that was Tobe Hooper .. sorry ..

i had a huge brain fart over this one

Brain fart....senility......"a rose by any other name"





:D

i aint denying a thing

Martin is about a guy who may or may not be a vampire. The film also works as a statement on drug addiction. In my opinion, it is the best of Romero's films.

rrrr right, cheers. i think im getting two films crossed. i know theres something to do with a guy with telekinetic powers, wearing all denim, early 80's i'd guess. starts in a hospital from what i can remember. any ideas people..?...weblinks for martin etc.

The telekinetic powers movie sounds like "Psychic Killer"--1975

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0073586/

here is a fan site for "Martin"

http://home.comcast.net/~axlish/martin.htm

its not psychic killer, ive got it, i know why youd think that tho. for the life of me i cant remember what it was called. thanx for the martin web link...;)

hmmmm.....sounds like a challenge..

Tourist Trap?

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0080040/

never heard ov it, no.

the guys got like really blonde hair in a 80's boff fashion if ya know what i mean. in the hospital, he makes his 'drips' fall over with his 'powers'. part from that and what ive already said, i cant remember much more. im sure ive got it, but i copied it and it'd take me ages searchin' through my older tapes. they'll be collecting dust somewhere dark and forbidding..
