No "Red Dawn"? What is there about "American High School Kids Kick Commie ass" not to love?
"The more I see of life, the less I fear death" - Me.
I'm the only person in the world who saw Donnie Darko. I even bought a copy of it.
Freeper motto: "I read, but do not understand; I write, but make no sense."
Not only is 'Red Dawn' missing, but 'The Giant Gila Monster', as well. Lists suck.
Yeah it REALLY sucked :P
No you're not.. !! I loved that film!!
I know!! (should I admit this??) I liked Red Dawn! .. Now 'The Giant Gila Monster'.. this is one film I dont know about ..uh ..is it one I dont want to know about ?? ;P
I fell asleep watching BWP tv premier, saw the last 20 minutes, not impressed. Best teen film ever is still "Dazed And Confused".
Quit bogarting that peace, Herbert!
Quit bogarting that peace, Herbert!
I've heard it was good.
"That's libertarians for you - anarchists who want police protection from their slaves." Kim Stanley Robinson, "Green Mars" p318
Yeah, who would of thought that the Cubans & Nicaraugans would attack through Canada! ;) Talk about illegal immigration.

LOL!! Ah you just had the wrong border :P
It's one of those 50's sci-fi flicks that the local UHF (you remember that, don't you?) channel used to run late Saturday night...'Creature Feature', or some such. It featured rebel refugees from 'Dobie Gillis' reluctantly teaming up with the local sheriff to battle a giant gila monster that was running around eating freight trains and stuff...budget was about 4 dollars, and it showed. Can't believe you missed this one...
"Dong...where is my automobile?"
"I'll use all the damned hot re-loads I want!"
Oh gosh! YES ..!! I do remember UHF!! Locally they had some guy on the late night flicks.. who used the name the Cool Ghoul!! He was so outrageous!
LOL!
Give it up, everyone knows Last House On The Left is best movie ever. Quit bogarting that peace, Herbert!
Have you ever seen vulgar? Quit bogarting that peace, Herbert!
UH no I cant say I have.. I like quirky films but this one got past me.. ;P
It's not for everyone, but it has a cameo by Jason Mewes. Basey or something...
Quit bogarting that peace, Herbert!
I'd get the Mystery Science Theater 3000 version. "Things make a lot more sense when you're all liquered up!" "Sorry boys, that monster done plum wandered out of my juristiction." http://doctor-forrester.home.mindspring.com/reviews_s04_ep402.html
"The more I see of life, the less I fear death" - Me.
It's best to buy the DVD, watch the extras first, then watch the movie. It will make a lot more sense. "You're name's Donnie Darko? Sounds like a superhero." "What makes you think I'm not?"
Freeper motto: "I read, but do not understand; I write, but make no sense."
We had the Groovy Movie on UHF, almost always involving the infamous Erik von Zipper.
Freeper motto: "I read, but do not understand; I write, but make no sense."
salo - a movie not recommended for anyone
Quit bogarting that peace, Herbert!
Erik von ZIPPER?? Uh okay~ ROFLMAO!! Not X rated films were they?? :P
I prefer Beach Blanket Bingo.
Freeper motto: "I read, but do not understand; I write, but make no sense."
You'll never learn anything from movies like that.
Quit bogarting that peace, Herbert!
Eric Von Zipper's real name was Harvey Lembeck, and he is in such films as "Beach Blanket Bingo," which was the picture above that didn't show up, and maybe "Pajama Party." He was a goofy motorcycle club leader who'd say things like, "When Eric von Zipper adores someone, they stay adored!"
Freeper motto: "I read, but do not understand; I write, but make no sense."
Now THAT'S what I call a wedding party :P
I'd learn how to play bingo on a beach blanket with blondes wearing poofy '60's hair.
Freeper motto: "I read, but do not understand; I write, but make no sense."
He was a goofy motorcycle club leader who'd say things like, "When Eric von Zipper adores someone, they stay adored!" OH !! I remember him!!
Yep, that's him. Someday, I'm going to buy every '60s beach film ever made. I already have "The Giant Gila Monster," which has some of the coolest hotrods a guy ever lusted for.
Freeper motto: "I read, but do not understand; I write, but make no sense."
They can teach one how to do that? I'm skeptical.
Quit bogarting that peace, Herbert!
They can teach one how to do that? I'm skeptical. I learned all my life skills from watching all those '60's beach movies on the Saturday afternoon Channel 30 UHF "Groovy Movie."

Someday, I'm going to buy every '60s beach film ever made. I already have "The Giant Gila Monster," which has some of the coolest hotrods a guy ever lusted for. what was that horror flick?? The film.. that had the really cool hemi Cuda??
I don't have a clue, but if you ever find out, I'd sure like to know!

Phantasm!!!
What?! No Meatballs?
Don'tcha mean "What??!! No Fast Times at Ridgemont High, or Better off Dead"? I WANT MY 2 DOLLARS!
"To wield onself -- to use oneself as a tool in one's own hand -- and so to make or break that which no one else can build or ruin -- THAT is the greatest pleasure known to man! To one who has felt the chisel in his hand and set free the angel prisoned in the marble block, or to one who has felt sword in hand and set homeless the soul that a moment before lived in the body of his mortal enemy -- to those both come alike the taste of that rare food spread only for demons or for gods." -- Gordon R. Dickson, "Soldier Ask Not"
The Breakfast Club is a *lame* show. I remember seeing it in the theater. I spent the entire movie waiting for the show to begin. I'm still waiting.
I remember Phantasm and the flying ball that would pump your brains out, but I don't have any memory of that 'Cuda. Sure like to have that. The 'Cuda, I mean. Well, maybe the ball, too.
Freeper motto: "I read, but do not understand; I write, but make no sense."
The first Dickson story I ever read was "Call Him Lord," and I remember thinking, "Dang, that's one of best stories I ever read."
