Has anyone seen any of the old Phantasm films?

Went to see Tropic Thunder last night, it wasnt as good as I thought it was going to be but still wasnt shiteeee. Tom Cruise is actually good in it which really surprised me as I usually hate him in any film he's in :lol:

Watched Speed Racer round my mates house after that, pretty shiteee film with really annoying characters, but the cgi and car "fight" scenes are great. Also, Christina Ricci :P

SPEED RACER IS AMAZING.

Best cinema experience I have EVER had, me and 4 friends sitting in an empty cinema, just like, $%&#ing amazing.

Yep, I really like the first couple but then they went downhill a bit.  Long time since I've seen them though.

Possibly, this goes without saying, but if you like Phantasm/Don Coscarelli's work in general, there are much worse ways to spend a couple of hours than watching Bubba Ho-Tep.

Saw 1  :o

Saw 2 pit of needles tonight though  8)

Saw a restored print of Once Upon A Time In The West on the big screeen today.  :D

Also The Wrestler with Mickey Rourke - very good.

The black car that reggie drives is one of the coolest cars ive seen.

I bought a copy of Once Upon A Time In The West a while back as I have always loved it. Sure would like to see a restored full screen version though.

I'm pretty sure this was exactly the same long version as appears on the 2-disc special edition DVD.  Of course that was a digital restoration, now they've done a full restoration on film.

The guitar in Once Upon a Time in the West is AWESOME. Ennio Morricone owns

[horsehead]

Went to see Quantum of Solace last night, though I see why some critics have panned it, I absolutely loved it! I (personally) can see why Bond progress's & does the things that he does in the movie. A couple of times the film didn't explain itself properly, but overall it's brilliant. Recomended

good god, The Hills Have Eyes is on Channel 4 right now, its $%&#ing atrocious :lol: Hwo did they ever think this was a good idea for a film?

[Will]

Scary movie is the best thing on at the moment I think. I agree about The Hils have eyes, utter shite.

Any news on Saw V? Worth the watch? I think its at number 2 in the cinema ratings at the moment, somehow that High School Musical thing is number 1 :?

[_tom_]

Scary Movie is ok, it has its moments and is better than every other spoof american film that followed it :) Which isnt exactly hard, I suppose.

Have joined the new film club at uni, they're showing Memento this week which looks pretty good..

saw the new bond, thought it was a decent edition, though alot was unexplained (like horsehead thought). preferred the last one though. daniel craig is a great bond i think.
