…Am I missing something ?

Yeah, the live audience! There are still many troupes across the country (and around the planet) that offer the full on experience.

From theatre to theater, and with a great soundtrack. The *movie* is just a study guide for the midnight madness.

I tried watching it with my wife and kids on Halloween last year. I think we lasted maybe 5 minutes. it really is an awful movie

Rocky Horror Picture Show

Never seen it but heard a lot about it... Back in the late 70's when I was in high school people used to get together and watch it with props and stuff at local theatre events promoted by my local rock station.

Finally watched it the other night on Hulu

I think Little Shop of Horrors (1986) was 10 zillion times better

I was fortunate enough to see it the way it was meant to be seen: Midnight theater showing with fans dressed in costume on stage, screaming out funny lines, an audience throwing toast and rice and getting out of their seats to dance the Time Warp in the aisles. There was even the gathering of "virgins" at the start, that were taken to the front and mocked. I'm not sure why the theater put up with that nonsense, but I'm sure glad they did. The movie itself is almost unwatchable on TV.

"Death Wish" remake with Bruce Willis. Pretty good movie: I'd give it a 3.5/5

Interesting, did not realize that. I've been watching it regularly on TCM, where it's likely now intact.

As I was watching the video I got freaked out with what looked like an edit around 20 minutes into the movie. I thought to myself now I can't put the tape up because it was edited. Turns out the tape wasn't spliced...it was the original edit of the film. It seems they took out about 1 minute and 6 seconds where Lydecker is telling the detective the story of how he first laid eyes on Laura and how their relationship progressed. Right from the Wiki page:

"In a deleted scene (1:06) with benefactor Webb, "... the beautiful Tierney was placed in a more feminine role model, and in the end it was decided to delete her for the cinema release of the film." The scene was restored on January 14, 2019, and presented as an "extended version" on DVD releases."

If you watch the scene on the VHS versions of the movie or Laserdisc version of the movie it's right where Lydecker says "But Tuesday and Thursday nights we stayed home..."

Been testing a lot of VHS tapes to put up on Ebay and I watched the 1944 Otto Preminger's noir film called Laura. Definitely a 10 on a scale from 1 - 10. Somewhat expected the ending...but the twists keep you in the film as does the BEAUTIFUL Gene Tierney. Music also keeps you interested in the film. Classic movie that everyone should see.

One of my favorites. Waldo Lydecker is a quite a character, and Tierney is indeed stunning. I almost always like Dana Andrews, too--he's good in Laura and Price plays against type.

I just pulled this off the shelf to watch again. Its one of the few movies I own. I love the seen on the water slide where Rockwell needs a hero. I see your 7.5/10 ad raise it to 8.5. I'm a sucker for this kind of semi-indy sap.

Ditto to both of you. But I'll raise you Allison Janney steals every scene she's in.

Akira (1988): I hadn't watched the film since college, and in that time, the film got a remaster, and a brand new dub track, that is a closer translation of the original Japanese. That made the plot much easier to follow, and the film overall is a much richer experience. The original Dub is on this edition as an option, as is the original Japanese Language track, so you can view it how you see fit.

If you enjoy that cyberpunk vibe, love oldschool anime, and just want a great flick, this one serves it all in abundance. On a scale of 1-10, it's an 11. There's a reason it consistently tops the list of best anime films.

Fade to Black (1980) 5/10
I've always wanted to see this "horror" about a film buff going off the deep end and ending people as different film characters. It's not very good, the lead is too unlikable and you simply don't see a descent into madness, he was already on his way. Plus it's slow. Baby Micky Rourke has an appearance as a bully.

Bone Tomahawk.

Holy shiat.

Starring Kurt Russell.

It’s a Western-Horror flick.

I dare you not to look away during the last 30 minutes. Holy crrap.

There’s one scene where, well, never seen anything like it...

That’s all I’m saying...

just watched it based on your recommendation. holy crap that some sick stuff

All Hallow's Eve, 3/10. It has potential. As a modern day 80's B Horror style movie, there is some enjoyment. Walking out of it, you'll like the spooky clown the most but that's about it. Not too great overall. I think the sequel "Terrifier" is much better seeing as it focuses on the clown and his murders above the other goofy characters in the first one. Also the budget is astronomically better in the second one.

Downhil. 3/10. don't bother. even for Will Ferrell this was bad. Oddly the rating listing for it said there was rape. that is not something this rubbish had in it
