I hope this in the right place.  I decided to make a list of movies that I would love to watch before I die or perhaps buy to pass on to my kiddos.  Kind of a bucket list.  I made a list on another computer and that was lost. So I thought I would start again.  I will list the movies that I can remember now.  Everyone please join with your own lists if you want.

Must watch/own movies:

The Suckling (1990)
The Expendables 2 (2012)
24 HOURS TO MIDNIGHT

More to come.

Later,

Is 24 Hours To Midnight a Charles Bronson film? If so, I think I've seen it.......

You're thinking of 10 TO MIDNIGHT.   :teddyr:

The Suckling (1990)

I have this on DVD.  It has its moments, but you shouldn't feel bad if you never get to see it.  It ain't that good!

Phantom of the Opera (1925) - Not as good as I expected. Weak storyline, good atmosphere.
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (1998) - The only Terry Gilliam film I actively dislike. Just not my movie.
The Dark Crystal (1982) - Enjoyable movie.
Metropolis (1927) - Enjoyable, but mostly watchable as an historic film. Interesting visuals. Much of its watchability depends on what sound track is put to it--I watched it on a VHS copy from a local college library, and the sound track was awesome, and the movie impressed me. I bought the DVD, and the distributors just stuck some random classical music to it as a sound track, and it wasn't nearly as enjoyable an experience. I don't know enough about it to know what was originally played during screenings.

The Third Man (1949)
Metropolis (1927)


The Third Man (1949) - this has aged very well and is still very enjoyable

Metropolis (1927) - this has too, but I think the best part about it is that you can see what films it influenced
Kubrick, Nolan, Tarantino, Wan, Iñárritu, Scorsese, Chaplin, Abrams, Wes Anderson, Gilliam, Kurosawa, Villeneuve - the elite



I believe in the international communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.

I always watch silent films with the sound off (the dubbed soundtracks often get on my nerves), so that doesn't matter to me.
More:

The Reptile (1966)

Nightwing (1979)

What a silly, disappointing movie.  The book is scary and suspenseful, but the movie managed to leave out all the best stuff from the book.

Darn...My collection is missing a bat movie (I have the MSTed version of It Lives by Night, but that doesn't count), and the Lou Diamond Phillips thing sucked.

I watched that one before.  It's alright, but by today's standards, PETA would be all over this film for its treatment of the spiders.  This time though, I wouldn't blame them.

Though the only thing that bugs me is how the hell did those spiders smash open a window?  It's like the same thing with the movie Frogs.  It'll haunted me forever.

How about Rattlers? Like I said, my B-movie collection is lacking in bats, snakes and spiders (preferably from the 70's and 80's).

How about:

* THE BAT PEOPLE
* SOLE SURVIVORS (also about bats)
* NIGHT OF THE COBRA WOMAN
* STANLEY (I didn't like this one very much, but, hey, it's a snake movie)
