Witness rules. edit as far as Weir goes it's much more a standard thriller than Last Wave, which really borders on horror, and it's certainly less horror than Hanging Rock. If I was to make a Peter Weir horror gradient I'd probably go like Picnic > Last Wave > Witness > Master and Commander? I don't remember Gallipoli well enough to place it on the list.

Witness is a very solid little drama-thriller. If you go in for horror you’ll be disappointed but it’s a firm recommend for general watching.

That and a scarecrow animated by a vengeance ghost.

Beard with no mustache is a weird look. Also since I’m gushing about language : Witness has lots of great Plattdeutsch/Pennsylvania Dutch (that is actually German). If you only took German in school it’d be a trip.

I could go on and on but I won’t because it’s not the thread for it. But if you’ve never seen Witness, do yourself a favor, goons!

the theater i used to work at had an absolutely gorgeous 500 seat main theater and then two tiny little fuckin' 90-seat tree-house feeling theaters they built sometime in the 70s that may as well have been just awkwardly bolted onto the existing architecture and those were the absolute best for screening our midnight movie reels in or bringing our own stuff to run on the digital projectors

i feel like finding a run down place that can house 50 - 100 seats and a screen with some old rear end sound system might do good business just showing a constant stream of horror flicks if they're cheaply available like the more run down, the better for setting the mood

Some scenes will outlive the movies that birthed them. That scene in Deadly Friend, GARBAGE DAY in Silent Night Deadly Night 2 - sometimes a thoroughly meh movie creates something that can truly be considered art of the highest caliber.

A Fancy Hat posted:Some scenes will outlive the movies that birthed them. Not horror but there is a three-minute musical number(!) in the middle of the godawful The Ladies Man film - a film that I remind you is not a musical film otherwise - that is hands-down the funniest thing released on film in the year 2000. The other 85 minutes, however, are pure poison. There should be some sort of list that catalogs these. Maybe I'll get on letterboxd and make it.

Reminder that Out Of Darkness opens this weekend and I'm stoked for some Upper Palaeolithic horror Kind of hoping it's set in Doggerland, though I don't know enough about the glaciation record of Europe to know if sea levels were low enough 45000 years ago to permit it

Xiahou Dun posted:It flooded about 8,000 years ago, so yes. Oh yeah I know it flooded relatively recently, it's more I don't know when it emerged in the first place. Sea levels drop when ice ages move more water onto the land. I checked the Wikipedia article for the Quaternary Glaciation (which we're still technically in) and it looks like temperature was pretty low at the time, so Doggerland probably was above sea level but also prob covered in an ice sheet.

Since I know there are a few Last Drive-In watchers here, any guesses on the movies playing tomorrow? I am utterly stumped on one of the films and only have a guess on the other. First movie - the MPAA required 53 cuts before it could be released. That's gotta be My Bloody Valentine, right? Second movie - Combines Andy Warhol's Factory with the worst neighborhood in downtown L.A.

I'm never good at the clues but I'm praying it's My Bloody Valentine if just because it's my partner's favorite slasher and we have to introduce our friends to it. That was my guess too. I know it's an obvious one and they don't always do that but damnit, sometimes you have to go with the classics!
