As much as I love horror films, most of them have been named so far, so I'll be different and go the other way...

Duck Soup, A Day at the Circus (as well as all Marx Brothers films), Brain Donors, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, The Jerk. You know what, I'm just going to shorten the list... Bruce Campbell movies, early Steve Martin too.

I also have a respectable collection of old B movies with Bela Lugosi and Vincent Price, along with films like The Giant Gila Monster, Nightmare Castle, stuff like that. Also new B-movies, like the Ghost House Underground collections.

This week the films I watched too many times are Repo: the genetic Opera, Way of the Gun, Pan's Labrynth and Psycho Beach party.

Next week... who knows?

[World*in*my*Eyes]

I know I am different and I do not fit in any mold here or anywhere. My favorite films are Milo and Otis, a Japanese animal film which is really excellant, ( I was once married to a Japanese man and my last name is a name of a a very beautiful Japanese island). Dancing with Wolves. The last and only man I had a real relationship, is a man who was in this film. ( He left me 4 and a half years ago and I have not had a relationship since) and I also love the 2 versions of Jane Ayers, ( she finally gets reunited with the man she reallty loves). Just the way it should be.

OMG yes. Repo = fantastic. A friend of mine got to meet and hang out with Graverobber /end jealous eyes.

Repo has become like a cult phenomenon. They have 'shadowcasts' all over the country, even Canada. They have actors (sometimes the real ones) act out what's on the screen and the audience just yells out whatever they feel. It was quite interesting.

I think it is interesting that the guys who put Repo together managed to craft something which functions so much like a cult phenomenon. Some people have fun with the movie but the phenomenon part is social engineering. I think talented people did a good job with it, but all the buzz about how a director with three number one hits couldn't get the studio to believe in it was carefully crafted.

Nah, none of my friends watch E! or even anything remotely related to "entertainment news television", and they are the ones who convinced me to watch a movie with paris hilton lol. So, I don't think it's as carefully crafted as you would assume. It's eye catching, well versed and has Tony Head and Nivek Ogre

But, back to the original poster's topic at hand, I thought of some more:

Fido
A boy and his dog
Boy eats girl
Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon

I think there are plenty of people who just plain like the Repo movie. If I didn't think it was quality, I would not have published the feature Kellie LaPlegua and Benny Hell wrote on Repo for Blue Blood.

Just because the viral buzz behind something is fictional does not mean that the product itself is terrible. For example, a lot of people have spammed College Humor with links to their own stuff, but Tucker Max was successful at it because the members of that site found they were into his work. Tucker Max openly admits that he made multiple accounts on College Humor to all be sock puppets pretending to be fans of his work, so it is not like people initially taking note of him was wholly organic.

I'm going to have to agree with incog and say that, although I have not asked anyone I know who worked on it, I believe the viral "grass roots" marketing of Repo!: The Genetic Opera was absolutely extremely crafted. Personally, I prefer more honest and straightforward marketing, but a lot of people think they are too savvy for a proper banner ad or a legit interview and so they end up with a fake fan posting links and hype and standing in line like they care instead.

In California, the State Bureau of Alcohol prohibits banners advertising booze in many venues. So the alcohol companies (and sometimes soda companies) send hot women into the venues to pretend to loooooooove a particular brand.

Manufactured or not the songs are addictive and they got some killer talent. I spent the whole movie thinking how much better Sweeney Todd would have been if Anthony Head got the title role, and let's face it, I would watch Sarah Brightman reading her favorite passages from the phone book for an hour and a half.

I do wish they would have let Paul Sorvino sing a little more, he has a surprisingly compelling voice. Hell, even paris hilton was good in it. Turns out the part she was made for is a spoiled rich kid who can't sing.

And given a chance i would steal every piece of wardrobe the guys in that movie wore.

Fake buzz or not, the movie hit a lot of high points. Truth be told the premise sounded stupid to me until some showed me a clip of the Night Surgeon song.

[NothinButCult]

Thanks for the many fine film recommendations...(especially Eric with that whopper of a list!)

On Tues and Wed. had some friends over and watched Lucio Fulci's 'Zombi2' which was bad ass and some old puppet master movies to catch up for the new one that is coming out (Puppet Master Axis Of Evil--excited). Last movie we watched was Nowhere (luckily I had an all region dvd player cause the copy I ordered was a 2 I think and I can't find a region 1 anywhere)...that is def one of my tried and true favs from the past.

Keep the suggestions rolling I'm a literal movie fanatic.

My favorite film is Milo and Otis, Jane Ayers and Dancing with Wolves. I just saw Dancing with Wolves tonight on TV. Ny ex, a Native American 100% Soiux Indian, who was the only REAL relationship, I have ever had, was in Dances with Wolves. He left me 4 and a half years ago for no known reason he could give me. I am still recovering and searching for a man who can come and be with me in a real relationship again. I would say Milo and Otis is my favorite movie.

Hell yeah, I definitely love horror movies to the max but I love love love the Marx Brothers. Duck Soup is my favorite one. I have the collection. Night at the Opera is fantastic, especially with the famous small room scene where Groucho keeps having all the people come in until they pile out. hehe
