Favorite Raimi Movie?

Post by Robert Treder »

Which is your favorite movie directed by Sam Raimi? I think I have to say A Simple Plan is the best, but Spider-Man and The Quick and the Dead have big places in my heart.

P.S. only feature-length films are included.
And you may ask yourself, 'Where does that highway go to?'

hmmm. If I had to choose a movie to watch right now, it'd be Evil Dead. It has that cheesy horror/action you just can't get these days.

The version of the film I saw had "I'm not that good."

Much funnier line.

Vympel your quote is on the "bootleg edition" of AoD I have that on DVD as well as I just got the "Boomstick edition" which has the origianl theatrical version and the directors cut. I haven't had time to watch both and see the difference, but personally I prefer the version with my quote, but I am glad to see someone likes the other version.

It's the perfect balence between The Evil Dead and Army of Darkness.

my favorite part of Evil dead 2 was when he made a reference to himself in AOd.

"whoever he is, he did a lousy job"

or something like that. It was great because i saw AOD before i saw evil dead

Isn't the "Boomstick" version just the two theatrical versions (ie "Bootleg & the US version) put into one case with perhaps a new commentary or two?

Anyway, I like the comment about being the guy with the gun as well. In the commentary for the "Bootleg version" Sam Raimi and Bruce Campbell basically agree that line was funnier but for most people I would guess that it depends on which one you heard first because they both are funny. :)
