Interestingly, I've always seen this one as "Phenomena" and never "Creepers" - but regardless it's fantastic. Sure it's a little silly at times, but then again, it's Argento. You really only need three words to describe it: Monkey, Metal, and Murder. Go watch it if you want 110 minutes of fun, damnit!
Let's hope it lives up to the comic!
What don't we agree on, Monster? Geez!
Tatsuya Nakadai never ceases to amaze, and Hanshiro Tsugumo is one of his great roles. Stoic and remorseless in his retribution, Hanshiro is one of the great characters of samurai cinema.
I'm with Yves on this one. It's about time! Romero's best.
Ben Gazzara at his best - and who doesn't love Mr. Sophistication? I can't give you anything but love, bayyy-bee...
Delightful in it's simplicity - what do you, your friends, your family, and everyone else do when the world is ending today? Well written and well acted (including the director, Don McKellar and David Cronenberg) Last Night is best during it's most mundane conversations and actions; in many ways more realistic and human than other films about the subject.
Like Col. Dax says, I have a problem with the whole premise; you can't replace a face like that, especially in 1960 - and that's exactly why I love this movie. Like Jonathan says, the surgery had me squirming! I love any film that can make me forget it's a film - if it suspends my disbelief, it warrants my praise!
I'm amazed that there are people who posted here that think Dr. Strangelove is overrated! First, it shows Peter Sellers' doing three roles and doing them amazingly. Second, it's George C. Scott in perfect form at his manic best. Third, Slim Pickens! When you take into account that Slim acted without being told that the film was a comedy, it shows Kubrick's clever handling of a complicated movie.
Always makes my top 10 list. Every character a classic, and Richard E. Grant leading the pack. Equal parts hilarious and sad, but never forgotten!
A must for anyone who enjoys a satirical look at the media and fashion world of the 1960's. Grayson Hall has a fun cameo as Miss Maxwell - sometimes found under the French title "Qui êtes-vous, Polly Maggoo?" so keep your eyes open!
What can one say that hasn't already been said? If not for any other reason, this movie is responsible for me giving my name as Henry Krinkle; that's K-R-I-N-K-L-E...
My all-time favorite Hitchcock film. To think that the whole film takes place inside one studio apartment in lower Manhattan (not counting the scenes watching from the window.) If Hitch deserves the title "Master of Suspense" for any film, it's this one. Plus Thelma Ritter!
Does it get any more biting than Network? Amazingly prescient and entertaining. Ned Beatty's monologue still gives me chills.
What documentaries about individual people aspire to. The Maysles set the bar on this one - an overwhelmingly interesting bit of filmmaking.
The film debut of Whit Stillman as director and the hilarious Chris Eigeman is a classic in it's own right - I could just listen to a recording of the dialogue alone and be entertained completely. From Nick Smith's diatribes to Charlie's musings on class and fate, it never fails to charm.
Just plain great. For anyone whoever sat around and shot the shit with friends, this movie is just that (plus necrophilia.) Knowing that Kevin Smith's favorite film is "A Man For All Seasons" (the '66 version, not the '88) puts it in perfect context - a film for dialogue lovers.
Everything about this movie is right. I can't imagine a single scene or actor that could be changed to make it better; although sometimes I wish I could've seen Brian Cox in the role of Lecter in "Lambs."
Buñuel's delightful satire sticks to to the bourgeoisie right where it hurts with this one. While this movie is fantastic, Fernando Rey really ties it all together in my opinion.
I have to agree with Francesca on this one - soul or not this is a classic for a reason. Who can watch Kelly, Reynolds, and O'Connor sing "Good Morning" and not crack a smile? Or how about "Anneye keent steend 'em!" I never get tired of this one. Im going to have to disagree with Derek there; far better than Meet Me in St. Louis!
"We accept her! We accept her! One of us! One of us! Gooble gobble, gooble gobble! One of us! One of us!"
A wonderful and terrifying movie, and one of my all-time favorites. Painfully stark depictions of Nazi cruelty and the twisted relationship between Dirk Bogarde and Charlotte Rampling push this film forward, through a world in which detachment and excess have stripped those involved of any traces of genuine human compassion beyond the sadomasochistic.
One of the many movies to showcase Peter Sellers' genius; particularly his range as an actor - comedic or otherwise.
When I first saw Audition, it had been described to me as a romantic comedy gone horribly, horribly wrong around halfway through - I thought that was pretty apt. Extremely fun to watch (if you can manage to watch all of it) Audition isn't for the squeamish - but if you're looking for a better kind of disturbing film, this might be right up your alley.
My favorite Suzuki film - Joe Shishido at his coolest, and with a cast of characters that sets itself apart from other yakuza movies of the time.
The one that set Cassavetes apart from the rest of American cinema - Hugh Hurd deserves proper acclaim for his role!
As long as we're not talking about the theatrical cut...5 stars. No question about it.
This is one of those amazing movies that demands re-watching. Each time you do, you appreciate it all the more - especially for those of us who over-think things! While the whole film is admirable on various levels, I'm still blown away most by John Goodman's performance.
Deceptively brilliant - who would've thought that a conversation between two friends could be so damn entertaining? You may be fooled into thinking this wasn't scripted, but don't be taken in - it's all the more interesting when you take Shawn and Gregory's theatre backgrounds into consideration.
A Japanese gangster classic. Lots of fun to watch, but not as amusing as another Suzuki film Joe Shishido starred in - "Youth of the Beast."
