Thoughts on these films?

« on: July 11, 2011, 02:24:27 AM »

Well, the day has come, folks. I'm finally running out of room in my DVD wallet (which is meant to hold a total of 750 discs), after more than a decade of buying and selling from Movie Trading Company, Amazon, Ebay, bootlegging, recording from TV or VHS, copying from Netflix discs, etc. Not to mention giving up a few things after coming to the decision that I don't think I'll ever have the desire to watch Rats: Night of Terror (or what have you) ever again.
Thus, I realize I must choose my final additions to my collection carefully. The following films are ones I'm considering, some more than others. I simply ask for thoughts on any of the following you've seen, whether or not they're worth seeing. Keep in mind, I'm the type of guy who enjoys Critters, Tremors, Piranha, Deadly Spawn, Alligator, Phenomena and Killer Klowns from Outer Space more than once, so my standards as to what films are worth owning are considerably low. In terms of non-B horror movies, my favorites are Psycho, Alien, The Howling and (of course) the Gremlins movies (the second one moreso). Just to give you an idea to help you decide as to whether or not you think I'd enjoy these movies. xD -shrugs-

Suspiria (1977) - This should be in every collection by default.

Ghoulies 2 (1988) - More enjoyable than the first.

Bad Taste (1987) - Classic.

Meet the Feebles (1989) - Never seen.

The Cabinet of Dr Caliger (1919) - Never seen.

House with the Laughing Windows (1976) - I liked this well enough. Very creepy at times.

Suspiria, for sure.

It's not a film without faults. In fact, its faults are glaring. But the entire soundscape of the movie is one of my favorite things ever. In fact, when I'm having trouble sleeping, I like to play this movie in the background because the music and accompanying sound are just a joy to me.

Suspiria (1977) - Nice atmosphere, slow action. I enjoyed it for its creepy atmosphere.

Bad Taste (1987) - Not bad. Fun movie, though not as fun as Dead Alive/Braindead.

Meet the Feebles (1989) - I want to like this movie, but it left me feeling unclean deep down in my soul both times I watched it.

Attack of the Killer Tomatoes (1978) - My favorite on your list. The sequels are rubbish to me, but this one works.

Suspiria (1977) - Definitely. If you liked PHENOMENA I am guessing you'd like SUSPIRIA.

Bad Taste (1987) - I am not a huge fan of this one, but I'm in the minority around here.

Meet the Feebles (1989) - I agree with Derf on this. I like black humor but this went too far. It's worth watching at least once, though.

The Cabinet of Dr Caliger (1919) - "Caligari." Absolute classic, one of the most important historical movies and a fascinating watch. I would buy it just to have it on my shelf.

Attack of the Killer Tomatoes (1978) - Funny movie, not nearly as "bad" as it's advertised. Along the lines of a really low budget AIRPLANE or NAKED GUN. Don't know if I'd make an effort to buy it myself, but I imagine you won't be disappointed.

If it were me I'd buy SUSPIRIA and CALIGARI off this list.

Out of those I have only seen Bad Taste. It is spectacular. The sheep getting blown up gets a good laugh out of me everytime.

Agree fully with Rev's comments on Suspiria and Caligari, and particularly Mofo's comments on Suspiria. The soundtrack is 1 in a million.

Caligari is a really awesome and important expressionist film.
Bad Taste, love it.
And it's very unfortunate that I haven't seen Suspiria yet...

Ghoulies 2 (1988) -I Really like this film

Bad Taste (1987) - BRILLIANT! I personally would pick this.

Meet the Feebles (1989) - Again I really like this film. It is twisted

The Cabinet of Dr Caliger (1919) - only seen this in parts. I have on the other hand seen Dr Caligari which is supposed to be a sequel of sorts. It's bonkers

House with the Laughing Windows (1976) - Not seen but love the title

Attack of the Killer Tomatoes (1978) - I preferred Return. There, I said it.

Suspiria (1977)
Completely without merit. There is absolutely nothing in this movie to make it worth watching. Not one thing.

Ghoulies 2 (1988)
Stupid but enjoyable.

Bad Taste (1987)
Haven't seen.

Meet the Feebles (1989)
Didn't like this one. Frankly, the only Peter Jackson movie I've seen that I do like is Dead Alive.

The Cabinet of Dr Caligari (1919)
You'd better like twist endings.

House with the Laughing Windows (1976)
Never heard of.

Attack of the Killer Tomatoes (1978)
Haven't seen.

well, I'm not its biggest fan but that's a bit harsh. the death scene near the start is amazing. however the film didn't grip me any where near as much as Argento's real masterpiece (imo) DEEP RED, and I also found it confusing

If "Caliger" means "Caligari" then I say that's a great movie. German Expressionism is a format that I wish was still popular today. Well, outside of Tim Burton films anyway.
