There's a chick over at SB who uses the name Shinigami. She has a friend who uses the name Portable. I was using a somewhat roundabout way of finding out if you were her.

I already asked and it appears that they're not the same person

[Shinigami]

No, we're not. In fact, I usually tag a 64 to the end of my screen name. I just didn't feel like it this time.

Forbidden Planet

Seven Samuria - Akira Kurosawa

Yojimbo - Akira Kurosawa

Hidden Fortress - Akira Kurosawa (see where George got the opening for Star Wars, and the characters C3PO and R2D2)

...ok, anything by Kurosawa

Twelve Monkeys - Terry Gilliam

Brazil - Terry Gilliam

Montey Python movies (which also features Terry Gilliam's work)

If you haven't seen the extended version of Fellowship of the Ring, you are missing out!

The ORIGINAL Invasion of the Body Snatchers

[Mike_6002]

Anything that has a action packed and intresting trailer, that gets my attention, but I don't go out to often and I have no spending money to go see movies unless I'm with my special needs group (I have Aspburger syndrome FYI)[Hoped I spelled it right]

[Drewcifer]

Favorite B-Sci Fi:
Rodger Corman's Battle Beyond The Stars

Isn't that the movie that was actually two movies? Seperate movies with different actors and plots, but all the same FX shots? And that one shot of stuff blowing up in space that they used over and over again, flipping it 90 degrees each time? Damn, can't remember the name of the other movie, something like Ice Princess...

Anyhow, a few more movies that may have been missed so far:

Slipstream
Not a great movie, but an interesting one. Stars Mark Hamil and Bill Paxton among others. Hamil is a bounty hunter IIRC chasing an android around a post apocolyptic (sp?) world where everyone travels by planes and gliders. Slow at times, but beautiful in it's own way.

Dark City
La Femme Nikita (subtitled, not dubbed)
Akira
Serial Mom
Wonder Boys
Finding Forrester (one of my all times faves)
Blade Runner
Manhunter (based on Red Dragon, came out in the 80's)
Memento ("did I tell you about my condition?" "yes, Lenny")
Hearts of Darkness (the documentary about the making of Apocolypse Now)
Metropolis
L.A. Confidential
The Usual Suspects
Monty Python (loved 'em all)
and anything by Terry Gilliam

guilty pleasure:
Flash Gordon, the one with the Queen soundtrack

(edit: removed some sloppy BBCoding, added a few movies)

The Wizard of Oz.

With Pink Floyd in the background.

heh heh. I'll look when my headache goes away and i'm not so sleepy and bored and depressed.

Here goes:
Dark City - Just brilliant. Flawed, but brilliant. One of those movies that wouldn't have been nearly so good if they had been perfect.
Rob Roy - One of the few mature faux history plays I've seen.
Pitch Black - Essentially the same basic premise as Alien. But this one was better.
City of Lost Children - Gorgeous, weird, warm-hearted.
Matrix - The science is laughable, the ending stupid... but you don't notice because it's just so well put together.
Coc Rogue - One of the older swedish Carl Hamilton movies, back when they were still good. This movie beats the shit out of almost any modern thriller. Suspenseful and excellently played.

Guilty pleasure:
The Musketeer - Just don't understand the knocks this one has been getting. I mean, of course it's not going to be even remotely plausible. It's a fucking matinee flick, for christ's sake! It's camp! The fencing was (mostly) good an appropriately outrageous, and there were some really funny (and campy) dialogue. What's not to like?
The Rock - Anyone who's seen it realizes it's just a premise for blowing shit up and waving the american flag. But that's immaterial, since it's such a fucking cool movie.

[haas mark]

Children of the Corn. Just a random thing. Meh.

[XPViking]

A good movie:

The Lords of Discipline

Edit: forgot to add a scary movie: The Hitcher.

Rutger Hauer is the man.

[Vympel]

Ladyhawke. I love it.

[Eleas]

Ladyhawke. I love it.

Yeah, with its awesome musical score.

If that's sarcasm I'll get Rutger Hauer to OWN you with his massive fucking two-handed bejeweled sword. The last fight in the church is fucking great.

It is sarcasm, and I like the movie. I just wish it was re-released with a soundtrack that didn't suck monkey balls.

I didn't mind the sound track- I thought it worked. The opening credits was a bit too 'modern' but for the entirety of the movie I found it unobtrusive yet noticeable. Take the fight in the church between Nevar(sp?) and Markay(sp?)- "Imperius! Wait! Stop!" Markay runs in front of him, music starts= good.

[haas mark]

I recomen against Feartdotcom.

[The Yosemite Bear]

Rutger H. is cool, from Soldier of Orange, to Blade Runner, to Nighthawks, to Flesh and Blood, to The Hitcher, he just rocks.
