I have heard so much about that movie but have yet to see it!
The Last Days of Planet Earth.
Its a cheezy Japanese end of the world, hippies go crazy, flick.
Movies that I see over and over again tend to be musicals, such as Gold Diggers of 1933, Hollywood Review of 1929, The Big Broadcast (1932) and Pigskin Parade (1936), which was Judy Garland's greatest film.
By the way, I saw It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World at the Cinerama Theater in Hollywood in early 1964, and I remember really enjoying it.
LOL! Yep!! And that he drinks the whole vat and then puts out the fire!!
Or how about "He was in the crease!!!" ?
Here are a few more.
Welcome to the Canteen!
Hey Rebelbase! Good to see you in the Canteen!! :o)
"Did you know she has flowers on her panties?"
"So that is how the thing got up in the tree."
And a movie that burned a hole in my brain, "Invaders from Mars", 1953 version
Designed and directed by William Cameron Menzies (one of the greatest production designers of Hollywood's golden age, whose credits include Gone with the Wind), this eerie little thriller benefits from Menzies's skill at combining physical settings with psychological undercurrents of paranoid terror and resistance against the alien threat. It's still most effective for younger viewers, with Jimmy Hunt providing the story's youthful point of view. And although the malevolent aliens look campy now, with a leader who resembles a bubble-brained squid in a fishbowl, Invaders from Mars remains one of the seminal science fiction films of its time, paving the way for The War of the Worlds and the rapidly developing trend of alien-invasion thrillers. --Jeff Shannon
I'm a sucker for a good (or bad!) WW2 movie. My favorites are Flying Tigers and Battle of Midway.
THE OSCAR
Frankie Fane (Stephen Boyd) has clawed his way to the top of the Hollywood heap. Now, as he's preparing to win his Oscar, his friend Hymie Kelly (Tony Bennett) reminisces over their life together, and Frankie's ruthless struggle to the top and the people he's stepped on (i.e., everyone else in the movie) to make it there.
Cast includes Elke Sommers, Eleanor Parker, Ernest Borgnine, Jill St. John. You have to see this movie to believe it!!!!
It's especially appropriate for the "cubicle bound" but a very funny movie.
Some of my favorites are: "Hairspray", "Some Like It Hot", and "Raising Arizona".
Tremors is a great cult film; practically defines the genre. Why have you defiled it by choosing a French poster/dvd cover? : )
I don't know if it has reached cult status, but another guilty pleasure of mine is 'Twister' w/Helen Hunt and Bill Paxton.
Welcome to the Canteen!
I am gonna HAVE to see it!!
I'm gonna have to dig throughmy tapes and watch it again.
I laugh at the court hearing.
Judge, "Order,order."
Doug, "two toast and back bacon."
Judge, "Quiet,you two."
Doug, "Jeez, she sounds like mom."
And then Bob gets a nose bleed and they stick a bullet up his nose! (OK I'm oficially a geek)
The last scene of the movie, a very long one from one camera shot in one take, is some of the best acting ever seen on film by the talented Bob Hoskins, though no words are spoken. Amazing.
Why did you insult me by saying I defiled it?
