Films You May Have Missed..... Part 2

[Goaty]

As I enjoy the old Thread, Thought to bring this thread back,

as there is one good film

Screamers.

[Buttonman]

I liked Screamers although the scene at the end with the loads of identical robots was lifted straight out of a Daredevil comic.

Having seen a few Tarantino interviews promoting 'Death Proof' (which I quite liked incidentally) I looked up a couple he was jabbering on about.

VANISHING POINT is basically a 90 minute car chase with some cracking characters and great stunts. Ending surprised me too.

THE MACK was a 70's classic with a hood's rise to becoming pimp of the year. It's like 'I'm gonna git you sucka' played for real. The jive talkin and costumes are brilliant.

If you liked 'Vanishing Point', give 'Two Lane Blacktop' a try - recently released on DVD and with Warren Oates giving a great performance

Incidentally, be sure NOT to check out the Vanishing Point remake starring Aragorn. Very bad.

[Leigh S]

Is nothing sacred?

[Buttonman]

Ha, they did too, nice mullet Viggo!

[House of Usher]

All of them!!!! I've missed them all!!!! All the films that there are!!!!

Especially 9 Songs.

Boo hoo.

[Eldritch]

THREADS from 1984, a BBC film about nuclear war. Endlessly shocking, incredibly detailed; gave me nightmares as a kid & still depresses me now. Essential, though, and brilliant.

Watch it & then read Cormac McCarthy's THE ROAD - equally terrifying & brilliant - just to say you did. Go on.

Aah, Threads...
Made especially chilling for me as im from Sheffield, and can still recognise alot of the scenes shown in the film.

Anyone mentioned Near Dark yet?

[worldshown]

This is usually the point where I stand up and shout "Meet The Feebles!"

And fall over again.

[Trout]

Threads shat me up.

Meet the Feebles is great!

[Roger Godpleton]

The Marine. So close to Scocjo's dream.

[Radbacker]

we had to watch Threads at school for Social Studies, man talk about scarring you pupils.
Just picked up 'Being John Malcovich' and watched it again, forgot how f*&$ked up it was.
Along with Meet the Feebles another Old Jackson classic Brain Dead, best use of a lawn mower ever.
