Re: Re-Vote Best Of The Best Winners (1988&1989)
Pet Semetary. My son was Gage's age at the time so when I tell you I was majorly creeped out by this movie - believe it! I still find it difficult to watch.
Re: Which Horror Franchise has the best sequels?
Evil Dead. I loved all three, something I cannot honestly say about the others.
Re: 9/11 the movie
Apocalypse Now came out four years after Vietnam 'ended'.
Actually, Apocalyse Now is based on the 1902 Joseph Conrad classic, Heart of Darkness.
Re: The Official War of the Worlds Thread
If I wanted realistic endings all the time, I'd just live my life and never have to go to the movies at all. 8) Sappy???? Not to me.
Re: The Official War of the Worlds Thread
First, thanks splat for the Orson Welles broadcast link. I never tire of hearing it. On road trips, my family and I have often listened to old radio shows bought at Cracker Barrell :lol: A lost medium these days of so much visuals. :(
Secondly, HG is one of my favorite authors. I still have my War of the Worlds book which I purchased, for about $.95 in 1968 when I was 12. Taped up and with that sweet old book smell. With the cover illustrating the 1953 George Pal masterpiece. Which brings me to
point 3: I'm so undecided. LOL I've always thought highly of Steven Spielberg as a masterful storyteller, much as I view Stephen King the same way. I have viewed them as original in their presentations. Now what? Is this remake full of "sound and fury, signifying nothing"? Does the fact that I think Tom Cruise is now unwatchable to me without wanting to smack him count? :lol:
Help!

Re: favorite Tod Browing flick?
Instead of creating a monster of pure imagination, he tried to make us see the ugliness that resides in each of us "normal" people.

I agree. But to go one step further, not only the ugliness, but the humanity of us all - the monster, the ugliness, and the beauty within that has nothing to do with appearances.
Freaks for me, with Dracula a close second.
