Not sure what the point of a reboot is, might as well just continue the continuity and tell more stories. Even if recasting. This casting seems like a good choice though, I could see that guy pulling off the Hellboy sardonic humor.

Neil Marshall is a solid choice for director too.

How can we even entertain a list without the iconic Mk1 Lawgiver?

Since the countdown there doesn't specify a version, I don't see why that ol' classic wouldn't be included. I give them extra credit for choosing a Boo Cook pic to use, a sign of good taste to do such a thing. Especially in an avatar for example.

Just buy all of them!

True, that is good to do. But it can be helpful to know what is where, if you already own say The Pit, or other stories covered already. Or if you perhaps want to skip buying some Millar or Morrison related volumes (subject to personal taste), etc.

2000ad.org is awesome, gotta love it.

Garth Marenghi's Darkplace, can't forget that one.

Just watched Spaced for the second time over the past couple days, so damn good! Been a good decade or more since I first watched it. Give Nick Frost every role, he's so damn good, make him the next Doctor. Everybody is great on that.

Any comedies in the ballpark of as creative/clever/great as that in the past fifteen years? It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia is the next best I can think of. I've heard Black Books is good, haven't checked that out yet.

Thanks for the recommendations, many cool looking movies to check out!

I saw Sexy Beast recently by the way, pretty entertaining stuff.

Really, I could go on and on about this particular genre, it pickles my fancy so very much, and this is before we even get into the euro-crime subgenre (though both WHTDTS? and WHTDTYD? are crossovers in this regard, particularly the later) but for now, i'd say these are good entry points for some of the none Argento or Bava Snr. titles.

I've been looking around and getting some of these giallo movies recommended, but while I'm at it... any recommendations for those euro-crime movies? 

Almost Human (1974) looks lively, by that Lenzi guy, and Gambling City also looks promising. What are your favs that you've seen in that genre so far?

[Khronicals of Khaos]

It just seemed like an excuse to string together various scenarios of random mayhem, with only the skimpiest of overall plots to hold it together.

Very much sort of early 1990s Image Comics-y. If that's a good thing for someone, then I guess it's two thumbs up.

Savage Dragon was one of the best comics ever then, and it's still one of the best ever going strong today. Just saying. Ennis's brief run on The Darkness is pretty great too.

Drokking Heathen! Khronicals of Khaos is not only one of the best A.B.C Warriors tales it is also one of the Greatest series ever to grace the Prog!

For me The Black Hole is the best. Great great stuff, an offbeat character study and a unique adventure. Poetry.

Much thanks! Great to have more movies to check out from fans who've seen a lot.

Very cool, thanks! And always looking to add more movies to my watch list.

Dario's movies are all so cool they're on another level for me, Profondo Rosso like you mentioned, the style and the music is all so cool, it'd be hard for that movie to lose. And even without those elements it'd be a good entry in the genre.

I can enjoy less flashy ones too, but do like pizazz. And pizzas.

Glad you liked it, David Lynch is an original. Make sure not to miss Lost Highway though, even at home! I never saw it on the big screen, but it is one of my all time favs.

Hey what are some of your fav giallo movies, or ones you'd recommend? I love all Dario Argento's movies, and I dig Lamberto Bava's Delerium and Demons which are not necessary giallo, and I've seen some Fulci movies. I like Nightmare Beach, also I love that Giallo parody/homage by Astron6 The Editor.

The only Mario Bava I've seen is Bay of Blood, which I respect for being so influential to the slasher genre, but those slasher movies like Friday the 13th pt 2 are more entertaining for me than this one. Also doesn't grab me like say Tenebre or The Bird with the Crystal Plumage etc. I tend to like the more slick and cool or just somehow entertaining to me ones, some feel like so-so Hitchcock movies to me, like The Psychic.

Neil Stryker and The Tyrant of Time was the movie tonight... delivered the goods! We were all pretty eager to see Neil's newest adventure, since it'd been quite a while since his original movie Evil Cult (2003), not to be confused with the also good Jet Li movie The Evil Cult.

If you want some hilarious glorious sci-fi action comedy... just call Neil Stryker.

Lot of Vin Diesel related talk on this page! Even though I don't know if he portrays Baby Groot.  Can't wait to see that, I love Riddick, and saw Fast and Furious 8 earlier this week, was pretty good.

Tonight saw In Bruges, loved it, me mates loved it as well, I hadn't seen it oddly enough! Great great stuff.

I'll also mention Better off Dead which is solid stuff I hadn't seen before recently, and Moulin Rouge which was a pretty solid kooky musical drama.
