THE SPIRIT(2008): A Frank Miller production featuring the noirish comic character by Will Eisner. The script is crap but the cast is great! Featuring Samuel Jackson and Scarlett Johansson as supervillains just before their AVENGERS fame and Eva Mendes, who appears gloriously nude in one scene. Jaime King as appears as the embodiment of Death herself(but very sexy)

Done in black & white like SIN CITY, it was released Christmas of 2008 and dropped out of sight, but it's a fave of mine, nonetheless.

FEAR IN THE NIGHT (1947)

One of the creepiest movies I have had the warped pleasure to watch this year.

Starring DeForrest Kelly!-ya know- Dr.McCoy!

"Was I going insane?"

Yes, and its 1956 remake, Nightmare, with Kevin McCarthy in the lead, is unjustly neglected.

No. It was bad.

Good cast, nice visuals, but the movie itself was pretty horrible.

It also seemed to really miss the point of the comic. Will Eisner's Spirit could be Noir, but it also had a goofy style with a nice dose of cheesecake mixed in. The movie just treated the whole things far too seriously.

^FREAKS is a film NOBODY ever talks about?

It's discussed in every book on horror films ever wrote.

...

We've talked about it here once or twice...

That argument may apply to every movie mentioned in the thread.

Even among diehard B-Movie types, I rarely see discussion of so-called "Eurospy" movies of the '60s like "008: Operation Exterminate," "Deadlier Than the Male," "Special Mission Lady Chaplin," etc.

DEATH LAID AN EGG, the surrealistic giallo set on a commercial chicken farm. Been championing it for years. It's an uphill struggle.

If you like that one I highly recommend the Deadly Fiends Collection and Blood Red Nights Collection from Pop Flix. Each has 4 giallos on them with great transfers. They sell for about $10 each on eBay. Death Laid an Egg is on one of them but I forget which one.

To help prove your point ...

I've never even heard of those movies.

Hah! I myself only started digging into that particular sub-genre within the last couple of years. Prior to that I knew next to nothing about 'em either... but as it turns out, Eurospy movies are like potato chips, you can't have just one. :D

If you like the Connery-era James Bond, you might get a kick out of some of those knockoffs I mentioned.

I recommend "Deadlier Than the Male" in particular, cuz it captured Elke Sommer at her absolute peak of hottie perfection.
