Good performane by Tim Curry in that movie. Not as good as his performance in Rocky Horror, but then again nothing is.

Not the movie, the vhs boardgame.

ACK!

The seventh seal
All quiet on the western front


All good films should have the protagonist faced with death IMO... It always makes an incredible adventure. Unless you suck royally at writing stories.

EDIT: I'll throw in Seven Samurai to the list, as well as Ikiru, because I KNEW I was missing another death movie.

Which one, the original, or the one with John-boy Walton?



ACK!

[Boris Godunov]

Both are good. The original, however, is quite extraordinary.

Snatch

You should look at my sig before you added that one and you would have removed it and placed "L,S and 2SB". (although snatch is good as well)

Plank: Ah! They shot me!
Dog: Well, shoot em back!

(The sig came from when barry the baptist walked out of the bar meaning to murmur "f-cking northern monkeys" but no matter how many times I watch it, its so clearly said "nova". Nova makes no sense and Lenny says later about how he hates "f--king southern fairies". Maybe a UK resident who watched the movie can clarify this for me?

My nickname for awhile was "Nova Monk", while I had a bald head. )

why does everyone like Fight club?

that movie sucked good concept, bad implementation
