- DirectorPeter JacksonStarsDanny MulheronDonna AkerstenStuart DevenieMultiple animals and insects experience the sleazier side of show business while working on a variety show.Refreshingly outrageous and peerless muppet movie.
- DirectorLuca BercoviciStarsPeter LiapisLisa PelikanMichael Des BarresA young man and his girlfriend move into an old mansion home, where he becomes possessed by a desire to control ancient demons.Did you ever see a movie that you could have written yourself? It just seems to have ALL the elements that YOU would have put in a movie. This is that movie. An orphan who is saved from being sacrificed in a magic ceremony grows up to inherit a house full of old books on Magic and Witchcraft starts to read the books and practice what they teach. However there is a reason why he is there, and was expected to do exactly what he is doing!
- DirectorNeil BurgerStarsBradley CooperAnna FrielAbbie CornishA mysterious pill that enables the user to access 100% of his brain's abilities transforms a struggling writer into a financial wizard, but it also puts him in a new world with many dangers.This movie is AMAZING. All except that he'd forget to pay the loan shark! WTF! Brain the size of a planet, and he forgets to get rid of the (only / main) threat!?! ... but, ok, if they didn't have that, there wouldn't be the plot twist. *sigh* (Still sucks.) You'd think the FIRST thing he'd do, after making enough to pay the guy back... he'd... PAY THE GUY BACK! #$%&
- DirectorLuc BessonStarsScarlett JohanssonMorgan FreemanChoi Min-sikA woman, accidentally caught in a dark deal, turns the tables on her captors and transforms into a merciless warrior evolved beyond human logic.Another good one about augmenting one's brain. Slightly unrealistic with manipulating others, telekinesis, time manipulation, like rewinding "reality", but it could be that she was rewinding what she "saw"?, etc... but ok, its Sci-Fi. So they can take liberties.
(ie. Star Wars.. "we'll take shields and anti-gravity as standard, ok?" Ok.) - DirectorTony ScottStarsCatherine DeneuveDavid BowieSusan SarandonA love triangle develops between a beautiful yet dangerous vampire (Catherine Deneuve), her cellist companion (David Bowie), and a gerontologist (Susan Sarandon).A slow moving Vampire Masterpiece. The characters live on long after the movie is over.
- DirectorDavid HamiltonStarsPatti D'ArbanvilleMona KristensenBernard GiraudeauA coming of age story centering on the exploits of a young girl during summer vacation.Beautifully shot and influential coming of age story. The soundtrack (Francis Lai) is also to die for.
- DirectorAnders Rønnow KlarlundStarsJames McAvoyCatherine McCormackJulian GloverA Prince leaves his city and sets off to avenge his father, not aware his father wasn't murdered, and in reality, committed suicide, and soon learns the truth about his people from a warrior woman.Serious Marionette Masterpiece. Inspirational.
- DirectorJohn LandisStarsEvan C. KimBong Soo HanBill BixbyThe daily programming of a fictional local TV channel presented as a series of highly irreverent skits.To start the following string of ZANY parody / sketch comedies.
- DirectorNeal IsraelBradley R. SwirnoffStarsPhil ProctorHoward HessemanBeans MoroccoA committee investigating TV's first uncensored network examines a typical day's programming, which includes shows, commercials, news programs, you name it. What they discover will surely crack you up! This outrageous and irreverent spoof of television launched the careers of some of the greatest comedians of all time.Incredibly memorable collection of sketches parody of tv programs that went on to define some people's sense of humor.
- DirectorIra MillerStarsRoyce D. ApplegateLewis ArquetteTom BakerBroad satire and buffoonery presented as a series of movie trailers. Among the titles and subjects are: "The Howard Huge Story", "Skate-boarders from Hell", "The Invasion of the Penis Snatchers", Woody Allen (pre-Mia), movie trailer come-ons, Charlie Chaplin, war movies, Billy Jack. The source of the title is presented about an hour into the film.Excellent spoof of movie trailers and programs.
- DirectorKen ShapiroStarsKen ShapiroRichard BelzerChevy ChaseA collection of skits that make fun of 1970s television, featuring early appearances by Chevy Chase and Richard Belzer.The above parodies wouldn't be complete without this one. Its dated, but belongs with the others.
- DirectorJoe DanteCarl GottliebPeter HortonStarsRosanna ArquetteMichelle PfeifferArsenio HallA spoof of low budget 1950s science-fiction movies, interspersed with various comedy sketches and fake commercials making fun of late-night television.More refined than the parodies above.
- DirectorSydney PollackStarsDustin HoffmanJessica LangeTeri GarrMichael Dorsey, an unsuccessful actor, disguises himself as a woman in order to get a role on a trashy hospital soap.
- DirectorJohn HoughStarsRoddy McDowallGayle HunnicuttPamela FranklinA physicist, his wife and two mediums are hired to investigate the Belasco House, where 27 guests had inexplicably died in 1927, along with most of a team of paranormal investigators that was sent in the early 1950s.The viewer almost feels like a participant in this movie about scientists going to a notoriously haunted house. Many twists and scares on the way. For some this is a movie you don't want to see alone. Its creepy.
- DirectorPeter DuffellStarsJohn BryansJohn BennettDenholm ElliottAn anthology of four horror stories revolving around a mysterious rental house in the U.K.This movie tells a few stories that are connected with a house that is for rent. Also connected to an old curiosity shop. (Its been a while since I saw it... but I'd watch it again. Its not really "scary", but more "entertaining", like going to a play... or a few episodes of a UK version of The Twilight Zone, made into a movie.)
- CreatorRod SerlingStarsRod SerlingLarry WatsonJoanna PettetRod Serling presents tales of horror illustrated in various paintings.(Talking of the Twilight Zone.) In this series Rod Sterling tells the story of paintings in the "Night Gallery". All with some twist of terror.
- DirectorFraser C. HestonStarsMax von SydowEd HarrisBonnie BedeliaA mysterious new shop opens in a small town which always seems to stock the deepest desires of each shopper, with a price far heavier than expected.A supernatural character sets up a shop selling used things in a small town, only the used things are often paid for by the buyer doing the shopkeeper a twisted favor. -- TO ME this is an example where the movie is far more interesting than the book, which is heavy with needless and useless detail. I also tried listening to the audiobook, but gave up on that too. Ooof! The movie is bliss to watch, by comparison.
- DirectorWilliam FriedkinStarsEllen BurstynMax von SydowLinda BlairWhen a young girl is possessed by a mysterious entity, her mother seeks the help of two Catholic priests to save her life.Ever see a movie, then have to sleep with the light on for YEARS? True story! ... but you probably weren't planning to become a Lutheran Pastor, then see how powerless mortals can be against The Devil. Teens today laugh at some of the stuff we felt was scary as hell. I still can't watch this movie alone... at night. It (kinda) brings it all back... even though one is older, and presumably a bit "wiser". Still, this is a horror blockbuster. To some.
- DirectorTerry GilliamStarsSean ConneryShelley DuvallJohn CleeseA young boy accidentally joins a band of time travelling dwarves, as they jump from era to era looking for treasure to steal.
- DirectorPercy AdlonStarsMarianne SägebrechtCCH PounderJack PalanceA lonely German woman ends up in the most desolate motel on Earth and decides to make it brighter.
- DirectorJean-Jacques BeineixStarsJean-Hugues AngladeBéatrice DalleGérard DarmonA lackadaisical handyman and aspiring novelist tries to support his younger girlfriend as she slowly succumbs to madness.
- DirectorLuc BessonStarsJean-Marc BarrJean RenoRosanna ArquetteThe rivalry between Enzo and Jacques, two childhood friends and now world-renowned free divers, becomes a beautiful and perilous journey into oneself and the unknown.
- DirectorRian JohnsonStarsDaniel CraigChris EvansAna de ArmasA detective investigates the death of the patriarch of an eccentric, combative family.
- DirectorPeter CollinsonStarsOliver ReedElke SommerRichard AttenboroughTen people are invited to a hotel in the Iranian desert, only to find that an unseen person is killing them one by one. Could one of them be the killer?
