Movies! The movie thread

Pumpkinhead

A story of revenge. Reminds me of a good old-fashioned Creepshow episode. With Lance Henriksen.

Saw it many years ago with my kids. We like creepy movies.

Happy Halloween!

I’ll contribute with great movies most have never seen.
Some are a little hard to find but they’re largely available.
Title is also IMDB link. In most cases I wouldn’t do to much research and recommend just watching.
Plots are intentionally light as not give too much away.

1st up is one of my personal favorites.

The Killing of a Chinese Bookie (1976)
Written and directed by the great John Cassavetes with an amazing performance by Ben Gazzara.
Plot: A proud strip club owner is forced to come to terms with himself as a man when his gambling addiction gets him in hot water with the mob, who offer him only one alternative.

The Ninth Configuration (1980)
Written and directed by William Peter Blatty. Staring Stacy Keach along with a great cast.
Plot: A former marine arrives at a mental asylum housed in a remote castle to run it. There he attempts to rehabilitate the patients by letting them act out their craziest fantasies and desires.
Fortunately the trailer doesn’t give much away.

Great movie for Halloween
The Devil's Backbone ( 2001)
Written and directed by the master Guillermo del Toro.
Please watch in its native Spanish even if you don’t speak Spanish. Use subtitles it’s a much better experience IMHO.
Plot: After Carlos - a 12-year-old whose father has died in the Spanish Civil War - arrives at an ominous boys' orphanage, he discovers the school is haunted and has many dark secrets which he must uncover.

Watching this now. It's a fight to the death with a grizzly.

cdavis93 · 10-19-2021, 05:49 AM

LOTR, always. Something I can rewatch over and over again and not tire myself out.

Alfisti · 10-19-2021, 07:54 AM

Did you see the bit where they walked for ages, then talked for ages, then fought for ages? Was awesome.

TXSTYLE · 10-19-2021, 12:57 PM

How about some Halloween flicks...

Alfisti · 10-19-2021, 01:35 PM

The McHorror movies, all look as shite as the last.

Esteban · 10-19-2021, 02:52 PM

Nicole Kidman as Lucille Ball and Javier Bardem as Desi Arnaz.

M5Rick · 10-19-2021, 04:40 PM

Identity.
Horror with Cusack and Liotta.

translux · 10-19-2021, 11:18 PM

I can't watch this one alone in the dark

Jacob's Ladder (1990)
Plot: Mourning his dead child, a haunted Vietnam War veteran attempts to uncover his past while suffering from a severe case of dissociation. To do so, he must decipher reality and life from his own dreams, delusions, and perceptions of death.

The redux was disturbing in its own unique way.

I think this is going to be pretty good. My mom always threw on I Love Lucy every night on Nick @ Night, since she knew it was a good show that young kids could watch without issue.

I sent this trailer over to her this morning. She seems pretty excited about it as she loved Lucille Ball.

Yep, I Love Lucy was a favorite when I was a young kid, even though it was already in syndication.

I usually try to avoid trailers as I don't like to ruin the movie, but I saw this one last weekend and immediately added to my list to watch. Perfect role for Will and looks like a great story.

unluky · 10-21-2021, 04:15 PM

I'm also pumped for DUNE. I was one of the 3 people that liked the old one, but with todays effects???? This one should be amazing. The trailer came on when I was in the theater a few weeks ago and I got up and went to the bathroom. I want NOTHING to spoil this one for me. =)

Three of us?

I SAW it online, but the audio was horrible and even with speakers up to 99 AND putting in hearing aides, I couldn't understand much of the dialogue

TiMSport · 10-21-2021, 06:54 PM

I think Dune is streaming on HBO Max from today. 4K UHD.

Might have to check it out.

EDIT: And I see it was already referenced earlier today. Doh!
