:O watch it ... watch it nao

I got the 5 disc ultimate edition like a week ago... despite already owning it :3

Ridley scott is just a winner.

[Ashimar]

I own blade runner, and after about 15 minutes of watching it, i couldnt take no more, it was too boring.
it was probably because i kept picturing the movie as star wars and him being Han Solo.

i collect movies as a hobby, older ones on VHS but not DVD.

My top list but in no particular order

1. Red Sonia
2. American Pop
3. American Beauty
3. The Great Escape
4. Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey
5. Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure
6. The Lost Boys
7. Pulp Fiction

8. Saving private ryan
9. Mallrats
10. Who framed Roger Rabbit?
11. Biodome
12. Back to the Future
13. Clerks
14. Downfall
15. Band of Brothers

[muddy27]

If anyone likes horror movies also check out The Curse from the 80's I think it might be based on an HP Lovecraft story. I got all 4 curse movies in diffrent formats vhs/laserdisc/dvd rip. I mostly watch older movies myself. Im a collector of the rare and obscure/cheezy flicks.

And yea....the "Evil Dead" series of course. Bruce Campbell FTW.

The Kevin Smith movie series (Clerks, Mallrats, Chasing Amy specifically - but they're all really good except Jersey Girl).

Watching Dennis Hopper explain to Christopher Walken how Sicilians were "spawned by ******s" is one of the greatest moments in cinematic history.

Jersey Girl was - and still is - ahead of its' time.

May I have one of those Chesterfields now?

[KilyenaMage]

Jersey Girl was - and still is - ahead of its' time.



I should have worded that differently perhaps. It's not a BAD movie by any means, but it's just not as good in my opinion as say, Chasing Amy.

That might be nostalgia though, as I grew up with the likes of Clerks and Chasing Amy. And pretty much all of Kevin Smith's movies have been ahead of their time (the serious ones at least.)

Have you joined the Coalition for the Liberation of Itinerant Treedwellers yet, Kilyena?

Anime:
Ghost in the Shell 1/2
Akira

Fist of the North Star (must be dubbed! I'm usually a sub guy, of course, but the voice acting in this movie is so memorable, tons of quotable shit delivered gloriously)

Wow - very nice remastering! There are spoilers in these scenes, so avoid if you want to watch from the beginning:

I see your Demolition man and raise you a Total Recall.....

Oh you call? Then I'm going all in with Blood Sport :D

[Hasbinbad]

You need to watch Appleseed.
I have the original series, the original movie, and the new 3d-cell movie (collectors edition), but I don't think it's one of the more accessible anime movies to a wider audience. It's tight as hell for anyone who likes anime tho.

John Spartan, you have been fined five credits for a violation of the verbal morality statute.

[Hasbinbad]

Ehhh.. I just enjoy these directors.. A lot of other people might list Michael Bay and Steven Spielberg if they were after "top directors," but I prefer my list.

Oooh, also I forgot to post Guy Ritchie. Doh.

Yeah, tough call. I know what you mean, but I prefer the subbed version.

[SlankyLanky]

to not mention evangelion is embaressing imo. hands down the best anime out there. and they are remaking it!
