Horror Movies & other rare gems!

[Visitor Q]

Squirm is good but not as good as Blue Sunshine. However, if you do like Squirm I can recommend another movie called "Slugs".

I have not seen Straight to Hell.

I do enjoy Spaghetti western. Fulci made a few good ones and I am pretty found of the Django movies. Have you seen any of those?

I've only seen the original Django which I liked a lot, but all of the so-called 'sequels' I have not seen.  From what I understand Django is in the Italian equivalent of Public Domain so there are tons of films with that word in the title but really aren't part of the original.  So I've tended to avoid them because my interest in Italian Westerns is more for the classics rather than the whole kit and kaboodle.  As far as Fulci, I've seen a few of his horror films but none of his westerns, at least that I am aware of.  I do like the Italian crime films the best as they mostly seem influenced by The French Connection meets Rolling Thunder and taken to weird extremes.  I especially like the ultra-violence they sometimes imbue the bad guys with....

Just watch Django, kill. It has exploding horses in it! Honestly it's like my favorite one...

Massacre Time is a good Fulci western.

Rolling Thunder is a great fucking movie BTW.

I'm right there with you on Rolling Thunder...it's a lost gem.  Happily someone recently posted a decent dub on usenet so I at least have a copy I can watch until some studio sees fit to give it a proper release.  It's almost become a lost classic.  I'll look for your suggestions from above. Thanks for the tips.

[Visitor Q]

That maybe the copy I have on DVD, it's actually a pretty nice copy.

Have you seen "A FISTFUL OF DYNAMITE"? I think that is one of my all time favorite westerns. I really need to buy that on DVD.

I got it last year when they released that Sergio Leone Box under the title Duck You Sucker, and you'd be a sucker NOT to pick it up, and I highly suggest the 2 disc version with all the supplemental hoo-hah.  I love Leone, and I waited patiently for this one....It's way too hard to describe, but it's a really great film and probably my 2nd favorite of his after Once Upon A Time In America....I know it's sacreligious to prefer the gangster over the western when it comes to Leone, but I'm more of a fan of that genre than I am of the Western, and I break out the Eastwood's every once in awhile, and of course Once Upon A Time In The West has to get a viewing every year or so, but run for DYS (AFOD), it's a crazy piece of Leone, especially in the extended cut that's out there now....it plays much better than I remember when I saw it as a kid!

I link the Terrance Stamp Blue and the Terrance Hill Nobody and Trinity stuff

[wpbooks]

I remember seeing the latter films as a kid at the drive-ins with my folks and enjoying them then.  Haven't seen Blue but have heard other good things about it.  Perhaps I'll see if I can track down a dvd.  Thanks for the tip.

[dr_s]

They are all  on DVD, Try Half.com or Amazon used. Trinity has a 3 dvd set for about $10-$15.
Of course I assume everyone has seen "once upon a time in the west"

[Visitor Q]

Yeah "Duck You Sucker"! HAH!

I'll order it up here soon.

LOL! Sorta off the path here but did you see Student Bodies came out on DVD. LOL!

A Classic.  "Melvert pee red."

hahaha

Yeah I really like Student Bodies a lot.

Did you know Richard Belzer did the voice for The Breather?

Jason

Nope, didn't know that.

Speaking of 80's Sci-Fi and Horror movies, I can't but mention two of my all time favorites:  Night of the Comet and Evil Dead 2.  If you haven't seen either, which I doubt, I suggest you put those on your queue.  Android with Klaus Kinski deserves a mention as a low budget Sci-Fi if you like Saturn 3.

I hated that movie, thought it was the stupidest piece of crap I ever saw...
