What was the last movie you saw?

[CyBeR]

Watched today Source Code. Better than I had hoped it would be and the ending honestly surprised me some. Call me a cynic if you must, but that ending was refreshing.

I just watched it again last night, and after so many years later, it's still a real freaky film for a B movie. I can still remember back it 1980 when people were yelling at the theater screen at the bad guys, and shouting advice to the victims.

Mother's Day (1980), is truely an absurd and violent movie, but I noticed through the decades that films are still pushing for more graphic horror and twisted killers. Movies like Psycho (1960) and Two Thousand Maniacs (1964) created by (the father of gore flicks) Herschell Gordon Lewis, paved the way for cult movie followers who want weird and disturbing films.


I also watched The Matrix: Reloaded (2003) and My Favorite Brunette (1947)

Muppets From Space because it's good for me. Good soundtrack too.

[Abernovo]

I watched Moon (2009) on HBO a couple of weeks ago. Quite good. No flashy effects, just a claustrophobic story.

[Highlander]

I came across Johnny Mnemonic a few days ago - so captivating that I fell asleep for the last 15mins... Not sure whether I was really concerned if he did live to the end or not.

I first saw Moon at the cinema and enjoyed it (and it was a British made SCI-FI film as well!)

Twilight Samurai(2003)

A wonderful Samurai drama that was a great story of social realism. It was not a story of high born, wealthy Samurais with alot of honor. It was story of a poor low born Samurai. He had the honor of being samurai, not a peasant but not much more. He didnt have enough money, honor to be a regular mid class Samurai. A real story about poor people that history forgets when it remember the famous names.

Thanks, Conn. I just added The Twilight Samurai to my instant viewing queue on Netflix.

Profondo Rosso (1975)
Not as good as Suspiria but still a pretty decent offering from the mind of Dario Argento. As always, loved the music provided by Goblin.

Deep Red is an awesome movie and has a cool theme by Goblin. I'm working up the nerve to see Suspiria (1977) again soon.



Rocky 2, (1979) great drama and excitement by writer/director/actor Sylvester Stallone, he did such a great job filming this movie.

The lead actor Sanada is top level serious actor or how about:

In 1999 and 2000, he performed with the Royal Shakespeare Company in their production of King Lear. This marked the first time a Japanese actor had performed with the theatrical group and earned Sanada an MBE.

Yeah, I haven't seen Mothers Day for many years, but I still have some of the nastiness seared into my brain. I could just imagine this playing in some sleazy 42nd street cinema back in the 80's. It is the epitome of trash cinema and definitely one of the most memorable.

I watched Griff the Invisible. This was a quirky little Aussie film starring Ryan Kwanten (True Blood), in a polar opposite role to what most know him for. Shy, reclusive and just plain odd, Griff lives a double life as a customer liason officer by day, and superhero by night.

For me, it is one of the best puppet (& Muppet) movies I have ever seen. And a classic collection of tunes in the film. Brilliant movie.

Nothing like a good cult classic on a dull night.

Attack of the Giant Leeches (1959) - featured on Mystery Science Theater 3000

[Diggler]

While not a cult classic, I am tempted to watch the new Return of the Jedi so I can hear the "NoooOOOooooooOOOooooo" in all it's surround sound glory tonight. Otherwise I might watch a trashtastic classic

[Foxbat]

These Are The Damned (1963)

A pretty decent (if fairly gloomy) Hammer film with Oliver Reed in the cast. Worth a watch.

[Adasunshine]

Grease... again! Introduced my boys to it much to my other half's dismay!

He was even less impressed that they both loved it
