Movie Thread - Movies that make an impression

[Lhancelot]

I was thinking about old movies, and one that really left an impression on me as a kid was The Thing, with Kurt Russell. It actually was a reboot of a old 30s movie iirc.

This movie was highly suspenseful, and what it lacked in campiness compared to older Carpenter movies it more than made up for with ahead-of-its-time special effects and great moments of suspense and characters.

Anyway, the newer version made in 1982 frightened me but at the same time intrigued me because it made me think for the first time as a small child that aliens could actually be BAD if they landed on the earth lol.

I recommend this movie to anyone who enjoys sci fi flicks.

Also, the director John Carpenter is one of the rare directors who not only directs the movie but creates his own soundtracks. The music is his own.

Irreversable

French film, worrh the watch.

[Mead]

Puppet Master I, II, III, 4 and 5 at a very young age

Most likely paved the way for 2/x of my professional careers and higher level of sanity

I thoroughly enjoyed them, and some others of the same genre, but I don't particularly care for horror movies anymore

[Lulz~Sect]

Bits and pieces of these movies gave me nightmares as a child:

Nightmare on Elm street
Time Bandits some skull flying shit scared the fuck out of me
Poltergeist another skull flying?
Sand worms in Beetle Juice
Tremors fucking sandworms
Even Ghostbusters II made me jump out of my chair on some catacombs type scene? (due for a rewatch)

I watched Beetlejuice over the summer and chortled real hard that I ever found those sandworms terrifying

Not down with Saw type Horror etc. There’s enough actual horror IRL
No thx

Hey if you watch the 3 thing movies in this order, they’re cronalogical: part 1: 1951, part 2: 2011, part 3: (the best one, John carpenters)

It’s a fun trilogy

[Baler]

Lhancelot you stole my movie. No i'm not kidding. I have strong urges to write things that will get me banned.

the thing 1982 is my favorite movie.

it was originally a sifi story Who Goes There? 1931 then it became thing from another world 1951

again I want to say things and do things that would get me perma banned. not a happy camper right now.

Nice to see The Thing touched someone else, I have a weird backstory for this movie.

I guess I liked this movie so much, my dad told a coworker of his. He found out the guy was some sort of moviephile as he actually had the original one from (as you say) 1951, and I can't remember if it was on a beta tape or what but it was around that time so could have been. I just remember it was in black and white haha. Also, it was not as scary as John carpenter's The Thing.

But nevertheless even at that time, I understood to respect it for the roots it was to the 1982 one I was first familiarized with. I also did see the latest one too, and as Mick said, not as good as Carpenter's but still worth watching.

I never seen any of the Puppet Master movies so I should probably check those out.

I am not watching Irreversible, I love the actor (Cassell) but I already seen a small part of "the scene" because I wanted to check that part out before I even began watching the movie as I heard how graphic it was. After 30 secs of that, I understood I was not going to withstand 10 minutes of that particular scene no matter how awesome the rest of the movie was so I probably will never see it tbh. I feel like that scene easily made it's point within 15 seconds of it, and is totally unnecessary to carry on longer.

@Baler, don't vent and get banned. For real. Use other avenues to vent but don't use the forums, sometimes parts of the forums are fun entertainment and you enjoy facets of them I believe? Don't write anything here or anywhere else you don't need to get banned on top of being upset by other things. :(

That's cool, because that was my list made at age 16.

It's a thread about movies that leave impression, are you surprised that people remember what movies impressed them during an IMPRESSIONABLE age?

lmao

*daps list*

donnie danko was big for me as well seeing as how it captured the essence of the year of the buubo (pronounced BOO-BO). a term that i coined to describe our collective childhoods (skarlorn & I).

There Will Be Capitalism also gud wakening.

Just watched There Will Be Blood 6 days ago again. Got it on DVD seen it at least 10 times.

Wish Daniel Day Lewis did more movies like it and Gangs of New York. When he plays ultra-aggressive borderline insare characters he is at his best.

Sadly, he is supposedly quitting acting now too.

[Cecily]

Ravenous. Movie has a supernatural ability to put me to sleep. It originally took my friends about 5 tries to get me to see from start to finish without passing out and it ended up being one of my absolute favorite films. I love atmosphere the film's music creates and probably what made a cannible horror movie an adult lullaby for me.

[skarlorn]

haha so you watched Drive then? :D

I watched drive the first year it came out, which I repeatedly told you; and clearly you never read the OP of that post because I directly compared Blade Runner 2049 plot arc to Drive's.

dont get hurt hes a cutie and its a complement. i like dr. strangelove

sorry i'm irritable atm cause working all weekend for this final pre-launch push. i may use drugs to calm myself as i finish tehse video edits.

Dr. Strangelove is such a good movie i would like to add this to my list, as well. My Dad showed this to me as a child and I thought it was okay; I recently rewatched it and now sincerely believe it's one of the funniest movies of all time.

daps year of the bubo

[skarlorn]

I would also like to comment that after watching Donnie Darko many many times, the simple answer is that he is JesusChrist.

[Lulz~Sect]

lot of un woke ITT

Well look here you grouchy fuck, I didn't read that post because I had not seen Blade Runner 2049 and didn't want to ruin it. :)

I still need to see it actually.

[skarlorn]

No, you really don't.

[Lhancelot]

No, you really don't.

Yes I do.

It has 2 actors I love and is the sequal to one of the best 80s scifi movies ever.

It can't be that bad. :(

blade runner is shockingly bad except for some of the art

sorry!

[Spyder73]

Chuckie scared me to no end because my dad let me watch it way to young, thought my toys were going to come to life and eat me

Jurassic Park when the velociraptors are attacking and that chick grabs a hand and it comes away as a severed hand...pure terror

The bouncey guys in Labrynth that could pull their heads off and sh!t for some reason got to me as a lad

Tremors and the sandworms were high on the list of things that I thought would one day kill me

Spider clown from IT was a source of terror for me

Freddy of course scared the sh!t out of me

Poltergeist was horrifying

The Ring still give me nervous tremors

[mickmoranis]

best movie ever made is the 1970s dawn of the dead

that and the 1980s poltergiest

[skarlorn]

Pans labyrinth was really. Good for dating in my teen years cause the ladies loved it AND when they got scared they blew my penis.

Jk but we did Dap lips and hands to tit ;)

Has anyone else seen Shortbus? My first gay friend showed that to me when I was like 14 and it was a real eye opener into the world of ass fucking.

[mickmoranis]

my fave thing about pans labyrinth is that part in the first 5 minuets where any dumb parrent that had the hubris to bring their kid to the movie would drag them out but its too late they have seen enough to ruin their next few years as a child.

Glad to see the drugs are still running strong in your veins from the weekend Pal.

this movie shook me

If I were to pick a movie that scared the crap of me as a kid it would the original Invasion of the Body Snatchers. Gave me terrible dreams but let me learn how to control my dreams so that's good.

Most influential movies have to be Alien, Blade Runner, and Less Than Zero.

[skarlorn]

Glad to see the drugs are still running strong in your veins from the weekend Pal.

pls inform what drugs i've been taking

[JurisDictum]

The movies that actually scared me as a kid were Child's Play and Candyman. The originals.

Hardly any sequel movies were good in the entire history of film-making IMO.

I simply don't watch sequels. And neither should you. Then they will finally stop making them.

Best modern horror: Sinister, Oculus, and The Babadook. Those are the relatively recent ones I liked.

Older movies: The Thing I have to agree is amazing:

9414

[skarlorn]

i hope everyone here has seen John Wick

AND

John Wick 2.

Easily the best sequel in recent memory.

Ok ill watch John Wick 2...but I should add that maybe action movies are different when it comes to sequels. You watch action movies for action scenes mostly. The plots might be ok -- but not that complicated.

[skarlorn]

Ya. I don't want to spoil your watch. As you know it's not about the plot. However, the art is better, the budget is bigger and used well, and they expand the world without really giving a shit about the plot. Enjoy dude!

The Gods Must Be Crazy is a great film. Making it through the first 30 minutes of, "what the hell am I watching?" gets paid off with a great story.

Saw it as a little child in the movie theater with my dad! He loves that movie to this day.

Scarface was an impacting movie for me, I seen it as a kid with my mother. She took me and 2 of my friends! The chainsaw scene. Yikes.

Nightmare on Elm Street was a memorable one. Freddie Kruger and all.

Re-animator!

This has to be one of my favorites, even watching it recently it was highly entertaining! really decent special effects, and although a bit campy very fun to watch with some bonafide creepy moments! Had to post some of the gifs from it below. Highly recommend this movie if you like horror films that are a bit campy to boot.

These were probably my favorite 10 movies when in was in my teens and early 20s... Probably made the biggest impression on me. My love for high fantasy was more when I was very young and then maybe 25+ it rebooted back to my fav. But teenage years are your most impressionable by far.

American History X
Momento
Requiem for a Dream
Blow
Falling Down
MothMan Prophecies
Donnie Darko
Trainspotting
SLC Punk
Fear and Loathing in Los Vegas

TLDR - Drugs

[Patriam1066]

requiem for a dream is hamfisted crapola and i understood this even as a youngling, but the line "ass to ass" did make an impression

Jennifer Connelly was fine as hell back in the day despite the eyebrows

But yeah, terrible movie and aronofsky should be zyklon'd immediately
