I think we should determine what we consider classics.
|
LOL everyone seems to only like one movie and that movie is *drum roll* NOTLD
Yes I like NOTLD but there is other class movies that have been made .... Just a few I like: Maniac Nosferatu White Zombie The creature from the Black Lagoon Countess Dracula |
I feel there are classics, in most era's. Nosferatu, Cabinet of Dr. Calgari are some of the earliest examples. Frankenstein, Bride of Frankenstein, The Invisible Man all James Whale classics, (The Old Dark House too) Vampyr, Dracula, The Mummy etc...When you say "classics" this is what I think of. However there are more modern classics, like the double feature parodies of the 50's, I Was a Teenage Werewolf, The Wasp Woman, and other classics like The Blob. Many of the Hammer and Roger Corman films, i.e...Vincent Price, Christopher Lee, and Peter Cushing from the late 50's thru early 70's. Some of the more modern classics include The Omen, The Shinning, Friday the 13th, Halloween, Nightmare on Elm Street, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and yes Night of the Living Dead.
The title, (Classic's) can be a very broad term, (for me at least). Some of the younger members should watch some of the older movies, compare them to more modern films, and see how many of today's Directors have been influenced by some of these films. I'm rambling so I'll shut up now... |
NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET
|
Wasp Woman, Dementia 13, Bury the Living, Murder, Devil Bat so fourth
|
"The Bad Seed"
If horror movies need to include evil, then you can't get much more evil than a little girl named Rhoda in "The Bad Seed". |
Right on, Neville!
|
The Mother's acting was so dramatic, and she knew something was up but did not want to admit it...great movie.
I heard they might be doing a re-make? |
Yes, movieman!
It's Eli Roth, maker of Cabin Fever... It could use a remake, but with only some tweaks.... But the things he says sound perfectly disastrous, though! He says flat out, quoted as saying; he wants to "bastardize and exploit it..."! He has high hopes, wanting to make her the next horror icon (she already is...!) but "like Chucky", he says! Uchh! Anyways, the worst thing he says is that he wants her to be modernized, like being a fan of -- get this -- "N'Sync"!! Ouch! Rhoda wouldn't give a rat's ass about N'Sync!! Oy oy oy! Rhoda doesn't play with the other girls... that's sort of the whole point... but, oh well, typical! LOL! They've tried to reamke it a couple times, I haven't seen either one, but remember "The Good Son"? I never saw that, either, but it went quoted a lot, there for a while, I remember when that was floating around for a while! |
Yeah, movieman, the mother's acting is pretty overdramatic, but Rhoda's is --
Dead On. :P She'd make a great secret character in a game like GoldenEye! Neville, can you imagine a little eight year old girl in pigtails and a dress running around with two RCP-90s versus Jaws? He'd be looking for her, she'd be nailing everybody! |

Oh, and I would add Hellraiser on the modern classic list... |
Quote:
I say leave it alone, I'm pretty much against remake's, but they are very popular nowadays. They could expand on the little girls part, by being a little more detailed on her reasoning for each victim. A little more graphic/gory in the murder scenes too. I think they could portray the Mom as one of those suburban Soccer mom's, running around in the minivan keeping up appearances with the neighbors, perfect house, perfect Husband, perfect family, that sort of thing, denial,, denial, denial..! I think the film was very progressive for the era, (50's) when most films were much more subdued. |
Quote:
Hellraiser is definitely on the list of modern classics, along with some others I forgot to mention. |
Night Of The Living Dead, Dawn Of The Dead, and Day Of The Dead...George Romero is the man...
Also...Psycho and Poltergeist |
That sounds good movieman!
A soccer mom is perfect, arranging little bridge parties, while, the bodies...! Yes, but apart from being progressive, upon research, it was the First Of It's Kind! A True Classic.... |
Poltergeist!
Excellent!! "It says things only a child can understand... to her, it simply is another child... to us, it is The Beast." The scene where the guy pulls his face off pretty much did it in for me! "This movie will fuck you up for the rest of your life!" - Crazy People |
The Bad Seed played on TCM last night at 9:15, Ichecked their website and it's not scheduled again until 10/31/04.
I didn't watch it again, because I had already planned on watching The Sentinel, and City of the Living Dead again. |

Yeah, lol! That was awesome...! A great sort of "in-joke"! And it's great how the announcer's voice gets low on "...as Rhoda."
Halloween, movieman, that's great! I was going to tell some friends to try and catch it then, too, but I didn't have time...! |

Yeah...good night for a good show...I have to check AMC, TCM, Bravo, and Sci-Fi for their October lineup, The Horror Channel is still up in the air for Dish Network.:mad: |

Oo! Don't forget "The Haunting"! Robert Wise's 1963 original!!
Admittedly, still haven't seen the original House on Haunted Hill... (BTW, just came to me, speaking of adapted plays...!) I figured I'd give a quick Honorable Mention to "Wait Until Dark"! |
P.S., Creature From The Black Lagoon is finally getting an upcoming DVD Box Set treatment!
"The Creature Walks Among Us"... ;) |
yeah so is invisible man and the mummy
|
All and any movies including the Father of Horror Vincent Price..
of course the classic vampire movies ...one of my all time classic favorites...Nosferatu, eine Symphonie des Grauens with Graf Orlok in it...1922 in it's best:cool: |
Try Vampyr (1932?) the coffin scene is great.
|
Is that by Carl Dreyer with Julian West(?) as the main character?
If it is it has alot of awesome parts... |
