I cast "Raise Dead Film"

[John Crichton]

I am ashamed to say that I STILL have not seen Dark City .

And shamed you shall stay until this affliction is remedied.

For me: Necessary Roughness, UHF & Major League. Fu-uuun.

 

[Dark Jezter]

Ah! Good call, John. I forgot to mention UHF in my post. Truly, that movie is a neglected classic.

"Badgers? We don' need no stinking BADGERS!"

Oh, and who could forget the hilarious "Conan the Librarian" sketch.

 

[Bagpuss]

I kind of like Waterworld...

I was just shocked that no one had mentioned it yet. "Today, we are teaching poodles how to fly!"

12:01
(see infos:

Nobody seems to know this movie (with Jonathan Silverman, Helen Slater and Martin Landau) - maybe it is because he is similar in idea to "Und täglich grüsst das Murmeltier" (I can`t figure out the original name, pictures: http://www.amazon.de/exec/obidos/AS...93450/sr=1-1/ref=sr_1_2_1/302-1475491-8951205) with Bill Murray, that came into the cinema around the time 12:01 appeared on TV.

I can only recommend to watch it

The big one I would say is... wait for it... Mystery Men. Damn you bastards! Never have anything original.

Hey I just bought that on DVD last week. Along with The Frighteners. That is a good film that got overlooked.

You've all yet to mention a movie I didn't like. Well, except for The
Teen Apocalypse Trilogy, which I've never heard of. It sounds fun.

The Bill Murray film's english title is "Groundhog Day." Great flick. Never saw 12:01, though.

"Elephant Man" got some Oscar nominations, so it was well regarded when it came out, as I recall.

A few films that I like that no one else did were:

"The Man with One Red Shoe", with Tom Hanks, Jim Belushi, Carrie Fisher, Dabney Coleman. I thought it was funny, and saw it multiple times.

"Pirates" by Roman Polanski. I saw it first in French, in Paris, and loved it. Saw it again, in English in the US, and couldn't figure out why I had liked it.

"The Fearless Vampire Killers" also by Polanski. Great camp vampire flick. Subtitled, "or, Pardon Me, But Your Teeth Are In My Neck." Sharon Tate in a bathtub, what more need be said? And the ballroom scene is one of my favorites of all time.

Mystery Men just rocks.

I saw 'Doom Generation'. I have to say I'm mostly with the 'what in the world was that I just saw' crowd.

'The Frighteners' was extremely good; I went with a friend and she couldn't beleive we were not seeing commercials and stuff about this movie. It was a good film that was totally overlooked.

Dungeons and Dragons. Yep, I still liked most of it.

Buckaroo Banzai. One of my favorite films. Usually gets relegated to 'cult film' status.

I loved 'Treasure Planet'. It did so terribly at the box office that I think it'll be the last 'non-singing, non-dancing' film we get out of Disney for quite some time.

'Jason X' was wonderfully cheesy fun. 'Freddy vs. Jason' promises to be just as cool.

'Beastmaster'. Dang good movie. Terrible, terrible sequels.

'Double Dragon'. Not too bad.

I liked 'Howard the Duck', as well.

'Lake Placid'. Almost no press. Giant alligator. Betty White. 'Nuff said.

'Demon Knight' and 'Bordelo of Blood'. Dang fine, and pretty good, respectively. 'What's that scent?' 'Sunscreen' 'AAAIIGGHH!'





The B-Movie Review Site has more, of course. I need to see 'Jesus Christ: Vampire Killer'.
