your movie life

Movie you love that no one(you know) has heard of: Cube (actually bought it with my first ever DVD player - which was the size of a briefcase )

Your desert island movie: Predator is probably my fav movie of all time, but I think I'll go with Godfather II here because it's longer and would kill more time on a dessert island

Original RoboCop. I was only a kid at the time and remember being aghast at the violence as Murphy is tortured and killed, and poor Mr Kenny is blown away by a malfunctioning Ed-209!

Your desert island movie: Aliens

Your favourite mob movie: Goodfellas, I love tons of other ones but this one has the rewatchability factor whereas the likes of the Godfather I space out watches for a few years.

The movie that scared you the most: The Thing. The scene where the dead guy's head peels off from his body, sprouts legs and runs off is just fúckin' rank.

The First Movie you ever saw in the cinema: Rock-a-Doodle. One of Don Bluth's animated offerings in the early nineties. Can still remember my surprise at the lights dimming and wow look at the really, really big television.

The movie you love that no one(you know) has heard of: Difficult question.... Probably Bigger Than Life.

Movie you love that everyone else hates: Your Highness. Critics really hated it and I don't think I've met anyone who has claimed to really have enjoyed it. I can totally see why it's perceived as godawful but I've watched it three times and laughed at it's stupid, juvenile, vulgar humour each and every time. It's a great looking film with a starry cast and yet they blow it all on endless, endless dick jokes and silly first take goofs. I kind of find that charming in a weird way.

Your Desert Island Movie: Raiders of The Lost Ark. I'd like to go with something deep and profound, but if you're only going to be allowed to bring one, that you'll have to watch again and again until you can play it on the inside of your eyelids, it's probably best to go with sheer entertainment, with a touch of class of course.

Your Favourite Mob Movie: Goodfellas. There might be better mob movies but it's the most entertaining. So much energy.

The Movie that scared you the most: Jurassic Park. I didn't know what had hit me. I was really far too young to be seeing it on the big screen. Straight from the first scene my young bladder was near a squirtin' from fear. I remember the noise more than anything else. I turned away from the screen at one point and was amazed to see the faces of everyone behind me, just calmly taking the movie in. Why weren't they terrified? What was wrong with these full grown adults? Glad to report that I've got over it since and seen many other movies which qualify as scary in the more traditional sense, but at the time...... scared witless.

Great thread.
