Quote:Originally posted by manwithpez: Battle Royale: Yeah, I know, someone put it on their best of all time list, and so, shouldn't be considered an "obscure" film. But, almost everyone I talk to about it doesn't know what it is. And, I genuinely enjoy the premise of this violent movie not released in North America.

Quote:Originally posted by CosmicFugitive: Here's my selection: * THE 'BURBS: It's a REALLY funny movie! A family moves in next door to Tom Hanks and Carrie Fisher. Their new next door neighbours pretty much keep to themselves. Noone has really seen them and there are weird noises coming from the basement. Tom Hanks and a few other neighbours decide to investigate the house when the family goes out for the day. A lot crazy stuff ensues!

Quote: Thesomnambulist wrote: Oh good choice!!!! I love the 'Burbs' this is rife with subtle understated humour. I can watch this over and over. Jerry Goldsmiths music is a character used to great effect. For example the scene near the beginning when each principal character has there own motif within the theme music and then right at the close of the scene, there's a close up shot of the dog (Poodle's) eyes and he's given a sort of cowboy slant to his moment. Cracks me up everytime!!! Joe Dante at his best.

The poodle's eyes moment is classic! :D My favourite parts include Tom Hanks and the other guy trying to get over the fence (the 'Red Rover' radio conversation is hilarious), and the part during the stakeout where Corey Feldman shouts: "It's the Pizza Dude!" :)

the movie is not the Series. Only the facts have been changed, to irritate the innocent; the names of the actors and characters remain the same

Quote:This film is actually pure New Age and not based on science. "Quantum Metaphysics" is as close to the lab as any of this talk gets. What the Bleep... is put out by the Ramtha people (J.Z. Knight Inc.) and the "experts" in it are not known by those in the relatively small Physics and Quantum Mechanics communities.

Quote:Originally posted by chrisisall: Somnambulist, have you ever seen The Legend of Hell House (1973)? For my money it's the spookiest movie I ever saw due to the fact that it all seems like it could, maybe, you know, happen!! No big effects, and thats why it works. (that AND Roddy McDowell!) uh-oh, ghosts, gotta- ah, I'm tired of runnin'. Chrisisall
