Legendary Cult movies you never got...

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

HATES

Anything by Tarintino: sure he can write well, but copies just about thing else

Belly of an Architect (sorry James it's the only Greenaway movie I can't watch)

Anything Lynch: That art school nonsense is getting old

The Matrix series: Or how not to film a HK flick

Anybody with a bad word about Jim Jarmusch :)

Star Wars Ep 1-3: Bad idea and badly executed
End of line.

No fight here, I just enjoyed that one, even though it didn't have a Nyman soundtrack.
Nothing after it :eek:
Prospero's Books (and then oblivion) = Monkey Spunk

Oh god, I just remembered.. Saw II. Was made to watch it at a friend's birthday.

I hate gore films, and that was just pure PISH. :urff:

After HP Lovecraft I suppose ? Is there any one good movie made after Lovecraft ? Apart from Reanimator I suppose, which is considered a good one by some (not including me). But Reanimator has nothing to do with Cthulhu and the great ancients, which is the most difficult thing to translate into actual pictures. Without being ridiculous, that is. :?

Has anybody metioned the godawful Kill Bill - 1 & 2.
& I wholeheartedly agree about Rocky Horror - Ultra pish
And I also agree with The Blast - anything with Adam Sandler or Jack Black would make me kill my TV. :evil:

Jess, as you know full well, I don't get it. No-one has yet managed to successfully explain what the point of it all is. The original is a masterpiece, so why bother. It's like me releasing a recording of my version of Crash & Burn (okay, bit tooo far there, but you get the point). Sorry Jess. I'd say remakes generally, but The Hills Have Eyes bucks the trend.
And The Thing.
And A Fistful of Dollars.
And The Magnificent Seven.

Hold on a mo - remakes are GREAT!!!!
and not to forget invasion of the body snatchers! or the fly!

For me:

Blues Brothers :urff: (must be rather a boys thing)

Stalker (should be a masterpiece by Tarkowski, but for me just the most boring movie I've ever seen in the cinema...)

Godfather: and this is very embarrassing, isn't it? I mean everybody must like the Godfather otherwise something is considered very wrong with you. (I heard that the second part is better, but I never took the effort....)

The Godfather rules. Although Goodfellas is better though.
