District 9
The Wild Geese

The Wild Geese was the first South African made film shot here without any of the stupid apartheid laws onset. It was filmed at a mineral bath resort named Tschipise which still exists.

The movie was also responsible for the beginning of the downfall of segregated cinemas in South Africa as it was released to both black and white cinemas simultaneously which had never happened before.

^^ I recall Netflix streaming The Bubble, a COVID-themed comedy film directed by Judd Apatow. Released on April 1, 2022, it follows a cast and crew trapped inside a pandemic hotel "bubble" while trying to finish a fictional dinosaur sequel called Cliff Beasts. Social media was outraged ("TOO SOON!") and it seemed like everyone hated it.

Then there was Stuck Together (8 Rue de l'Humanité), a French comedy film directed by Dany Boon about quirky neighbors dealing with the Paris lockdown. It got so-so reviews.

Scream (1996) dropping a few movie titles:

John Carpenter's Halloween, Wes Craven's The Last House on the Left, and Tobe Hooper's The Texas Chain Saw Massacre

SCREAM series wins this thread then I guess 


next time I watch THE LAST HORROR FILM I'll listen out for any namechecks... half of it takes place at the actual Cannes film festival

- weird fact about that movie... the movie its star Caroline Munroe is supposedly the star of, in the film, is called 'Scream', and you also see a poster for a non-existent movie called 'Stab' at some point as well

"The Phantom Empire" (1987)

Cave explorers stumble into a hidden underground world populated by flesh eating mutants, dinosaurs, cave girls in bikinis, and an alien warrior queen who wants to capture the surface dwellers and make them her slaves.
 
There's a lot to unpack in this campy, schlocky flick, which is supposedly based on a 1930s Gene Autry movie serial by the same name. It was written and directed in six days by no-budget maestro Fred Olen Ray, and it's full of corny dialogue, plentiful T&A, and stock footage borrowed from other movies. A few familiar faces like Michelle "Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers" Bauer, Sybil Danning, and Jeffrey "Re-Animator" Combs do their best with the thin material. Hell, there's even a cameo by Robby the Robot from "Forbidden Planet!"

Make no mistake, this movie was crap, but it was strangely entertaining crap.
