We all have them.  Our prized posessions.  The films that make our friends think we are a little crazy for buying.  The films where the response is: "And you actually PAID to own this?"

Which films do you proudly display and show off constantly?

Mine would probably be:

The Mutilator-My newest addition.  Pretty unknown flick, but a 100% guilty pleasure for me.  Great flick to show off to friends.  

Meet The Feebles-Have not met very many people who apprecieate this film.  Another one of my treasured flicks....not even my wife will watch this one all the way through.

Martin-An original VHS print of the film.  Quite possibly the heaviest video (weight wise) that I own.  Not many who have seen this have liked it.  Probably due to the fact that the film is nothing like the mainstream vamp flicks of the past decade.  

There are many many many many more, but I don't have the time to list them all.




Anyone else?

Rolling Thunder - the definitive monster truck movie.

The Van - Boobies, 70's clothes, boobies, custom vans, boobies.

Delinquent School Girls - great for parties.

Caveman - on DVD!

Kirk

Barbarian Queen I & II, right next to Deathstalker I & II.   Me's gots fancie tastes.

Bad Taste (God I love watching people reaction to this movie)!
Dead Alive (IBID, especially the mowing down the zombies and gut pile (colon?)begging scenes)!
Buttcrack
Six String Samurai (I love to watch people get caught into this movie against thei will [better judgement?])
The Dead Hate the Living (People can't seem to decide exactly why thry don't like this one)
Redneck Zombies (I actually ask myself why I bought this one)
Any Home movies of my kid, people always leave when I pull these out!

My very rare, and very hard to find copy of Robo C.H.I.C. The first time I watched it, I about killed myself. Then three weeks later when I could finally think back to the horrors of the movie, I decided to seek every corner of the globe to find a copy. Finally three months later on ebay, there was one copy. Bam, I bought it uncontested (and for good reason. No one's herard of it, or seen it). I show it to those who I wish to feel my wrath of vengence.

RAPID FIRE.

Goofy Brandon Lee flick. One of the cops was Screwface from Marked for Death, and I think the temple at the beginning was the same one in Mortal Kombat!

I was doing my usual random searching on ebay and found a mutilator shirt up for auction.  Looks cool                                                   http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3528603342&category=197

For myself...

1) The live action Guyver movie. ( Some of you knew i'd put this own down, right?)

2) Alien Predators (I bought it at a garage sale and never heard of it , so I don't like it.)

3)Evil Dead II (Only because my mom hates this movie, all my friends like it though)

-the first rule of fat club-

Dancing Outlaw
Any of the early John Waters flicks.
Night of the Living Dead
My Dr. Gene Scott compilation tape....

Hmm let m see...


Carnosaur 3
Deathstalker
Leprechaun 4
and just showed Prince of Space. Like 5 minutes ago.

I like to show off my workprint copy of Outtakes (used to shop the film around before sony got it, a lot of stuff is in the copy that got cut down or refilmed for the final version) as well as behind the scenes footage from Outtakes.  I ended up getting them from Jack Sell after some email contact I had with him last year.

I'm a fan of box sets, so I like showing off my Book O' Th' Dead version of Evil Dead, my original print of the Sleepaway Camp set with Red Cross logo on the front, my wooden case Wicker Man, and my tin The Beyond.
For badness or just all-out "what the hell was that?" - Island of Death is good (coming up in our big 50th review sort-of-bash next week) or Robo Vampire.  Ninja Champion is fun to hurt people with.

Mine are either "Dune" or "Dagon". Most visits react violently when I show them the "Dagon" case and tell them it is a spanish (well, more or less) horror movie. Some actually show some interest when they learn that Paco Rabal was on it, but all get their fears multiplied when I pass them the trailers. LOL!

I love to see the look of horror on people's faces when they look at my collection and see nothing but Dolph, Seagal, Norris, Van Damme, Stallone, Schwarzenegger, and other action kings.  Funny, to say the least.

I like to show people Bulletproof, with Gary Busey, and McBain, with Christopher Walken.  I haven't met a person that hasn't laughed while watching either one of these movies.  The look on their faces when Gary Busey drops down from the ceiling during a drug deal and calls the dealers "butthorn" is priceless.  The look starts off as pure confusion, and then turns quickly to laughter.

Skaboi - I love MEET THE FEEBLES and MARTIN, so you aren't alone.

I have a copy of the uncut version of DERANGED (from Moore Video) on VHS. It includes the "opening of the skull and popping out of the eyeball with a spoon" scene that was cut from the original theatrical release (and is also missing from the DVD). I have been selling all of my VHS tapes, but I will hang onto that one.

I guess that I have quite a few DVDs that I like to show off: just about anything from Something Weird Video; my H.G. Lewis collection; my Euro horror and giallo flicks (Mario Bava, Dario Argento, Jean Rollin, etc.); my Ed Wood movies; basically, any movie that no sane person would purchase . . .

I also love to display any of my Godfrey Ho movies to ensure quick and suffiecient pain. Ninja Champion is one of them, along with Ninja Hunt, and Bruce Lee's Ways of Kung Fu. Oh god, thinking about them gives me headaches.

I echo whoever said Six-String Samurai.

I also go for:

Biozombie
Mr. Vampire (the all-time favorite)
Wild Zero
Storm Riders
Magnificent Butcher
Legend of Zu
Shaolin Soccer

And, to make them suffer...
Attack of the Super Monsters--every unsuspecting person I've showed that to complains of physical pain.

My anime movies
Brotherhood of the wolf
Snatch
Triple x

Don't know how I forgot this one!  MEAT MARKET!

This one is always fun to show off.  Shot completely on video with a budget of only 2,000!  Great indie zombie flick.  A must have if you don't already own it.


I'm thinking about getting the sequel soon.

My wife loves to show the older Peter Jackson ones, so I guess that makes us proud of them.  In that same way of thinking, we're, uh, very proud of Sextette and The Apple.

On the other hand, we hosted a non-movie party last night and were evidently proud of an aqaurium DVD...

Breakin 2 Electric Boogaloo

This works perfect for those late night house guests who refuse to leave.  Just pop it in and when the Break Dance Rumble rolls around the guests start to hit the exits.

Is that like those videos of nothing but a fireplace with the flames roaring that some people put on at Christmas but with fish instead??

"Is that like those videos of nothing but a fireplace with the flames roaring that some people put on at Christmas but with fish instead??"

Yup.  No plot, but that's never stopped me before.

Seriously, for a non-movie party, it's kinda nice -- especially when you've got a 53" HDTV.  It looks tragically empty when it's turned off, and the fish are more fun than a test pattern.  It gave the party a nice ambiance.  (This one was based on a screen saver.)  

We ran music through the sound system instead of the DVD's soundtrack, which is the rushing sound of the bubbles from the filter.  When you've got a room full of drinkers, that's not a sound you need.

I didn't personally know a lot of these people well enough to inflict upon them what we call "normal" in our home.  It was enough for them to look at the DVD rack and wonder what kinda crazy people live here.

Here's another one that I forgot:

About 5 years ago, I had some people from work over for a party. Around 1:00 in the morning, after several hours of irresponsible drinking, I broke out my copy of BLACK BELT JONES. We had a great time watching it. The people who were at the party still talk about it.

After we watched BLACK BELT JONES, I popped the original SHAFT into the VCR. I didn't tell anyone what it was, but they all started laughing when they saw Richard Roundtree emerge from the subway with the classic theme song playing on the soundtrack. They knew we were in for a vintage blaxploitation evening.

Maniac.  The 1934 version.  Yep, that one.  

Nuff said.

Six-string Samurai
Orgazmo
Attack of the Killer Tomatoes
Starcrash

Forgot to include:  Episodes of Invader Zim

I also like to show short bits from movies as previews, like tag-rampage from THe Power Puff Girls movie and the gun-dump scene from Mean Guns.  Gets an interest in seeing the movie on a later visit.

(So, if you were to edit Finding Nemo such that it was from Dorey's point of view and told it backwards, would it be Nemento?)

The films I have shown to friends not used to B-Movies are 'Meet the Feebles', 'Dolemite', 'Frankenhooker', 'Killer Klowns', 'Mister Vampire' and 'Babycart at the River Styx', and all went down really well.
