That you and only you seem to love.

I will offer Quest for Fire (81)
Several prehistoric cavemen must cross the land in search of a fire to keep their clan alive

I dont know anyone who remembers this one and i recall it being a bit of a dud in theaters
But i love the costumes, the locations were lush and the actors even came up with a 'language' (consisting mostly of grunts and hand motions) in order to increase the realism.
The fight scenes were very cool and both Rae Dawn Chong and Ron Perlman starred in it...
It really was a great movie

Do you have a forgotten masterpiece that you would like to share?

Dead of Night (1972) - an early zombie movie

A young Soldier is killed in the line of duty in Vietnam. That same night, the soldier returns home, brought back by his mother's wishes that he "Don't Die"! Upon his return, Andy sits in his room, refusing to see his friends or family, venturing out only at night. The vampiric horror is secondary to the terror that comes from the disintegration of a typical American family.

Sounds right up my alley
Did this perhaps have an alternate title...it sounds familiar for some reason

Brain Damage or Brain Dead maybe...

[–] [deleted] 7 years ago

Deathdream was the alternate title. Bob Clark of Porky's fame was the director.

[–] ShogunofYonkers (78604) 7 years ago

Thats it

I dont think ive seen it
But im on the lookout

Speed (1994)

I consider it a classic action thriller.

Also...Paul (2011). Funny sci-fi comedy.

[–] Stratego (31083) 7 years ago

I think a lot of people love Speed, though. It seems to be near the top of many people's favourite action flicks lists.

[–] aliensalmon (5855) 7 years ago

Heh...didn't know that about Speed.

[–] Stratego (31083) 7 years ago

Only dewey doesn't seem to like Speed, but he's stupid!

[–] ShogunofYonkers (78604) 7 years ago

Uggh😖
He is the worst!

[–] GlenEllyn (21659) 7 years ago

Good ole Dewey. Nobody's perfect. I've forgiven him for this one. I liked Speed. It wasn't any more believable than a lot of other action movies, but I appreciated the suspense of it.

[–] godewey (16472) 7 years ago

I really need to start going through this board more thoroughly.

Otherwise I'd miss such striking analysis and sharp wit as this.

[–] ShogunofYonkers (78604) 7 years ago

I really liked Speed

Although, i think Dennis Hopper really mailed in his performance...
Fun movie anyway

[–] ShogunofYonkers (78604) 7 years ago

Zardoz was brilliant sci-fi

And wow were Connery's murder boots and red get-up an odd fashion choice!

This is one 'classic' im sure very few have seen

I liked it quite a lot

[–] CoriSCapnSkip (2765) 7 years ago

I made everyone dear to me watch "The Piano" and it traumatized the crap out of every one of them. They couldn't understand my devotion to it, although they got some of the points when I mentioned them. I tried to read the novelization but didn't get through it.

[–] ShogunofYonkers (78604) 7 years ago

Great cast and some real naughty bits if i recall...i have not seen it in ages

Good pick

[–] CoriSCapnSkip (2765) 7 years ago

Nine-year-old Anna Paquin was too young to see the whole movie but viewed an edited version including her scenes.

[–] ShogunofYonkers (78604) 7 years ago

Huh

I always wondered if the little kid actors ever got to view their work in the more 'adult' films...

Graveyard Shift (1990)

Based on a short story by Stephen King. It has a reputation as being one of the worst King adaptations and while it certainly isn't the best, I wouldn't call it the worst. It is a fun film to watch with friends and doesn't deserve the dislike it's received.

[–] ShogunofYonkers (78604) 7 years ago

I actually enjoy that one (its quite a hunk of cheese!)

Crazy theme song too😁

[–] godewey (16472) 7 years ago

Track 29
Underworld -1996
It's Alive
Black Noon- 1971

[–] db20db (17754) 7 years ago

It's Alive is definitely different !

[–] godewey (16472) 7 years ago

It really is.

I saw it as a kid and liked it.
I saw it later on and thought it was horrible.
I saw it last year and thought it was really good for what it was.

[–] db20db (17754) 7 years ago

The milkman scene.....😆

[–] godewey (16472) 7 years ago

That was a great scene. The blood and the milk.

A few memorable scenes in that one.

I love low budget and you are steadily producing great content here!

Dont run off...we need new and fun posters

🍻indeed!

Some of us are 'all in' on these shores...we burned the boats and plan on staying

I recruit good folks when im able to...

Best wishes Amigo and hope to see you around

Van Dien was lousy as Tarzan.

I'm probably going to get laughed at for this, but I kind of enjoyed Ghost Rider. I didn't love it, but I thought it was fun.

Another one, which I don't think many people even know about, is Kull: The Conqueror with Kevin Sorbo. It was based on a character (Kull) who was created by Robert E. Howard, the same man who created Conan the Barbarian. I actually preferred Kull as a character over Conan, and I found the movie really entertaining.

(Okay, now I'm going to go hide in a corner. XD)

[–] ShogunofYonkers (78604) 7 years ago

Oh come out of that corner you silly goose!
No 'judgies' here

I skipped Ghost Rider because i have Cage high on the favorites list due to his early career greatness...his later stuff just ruins my good will for the guy

Ive read and probably still have a few Kull comic books...i never saw the movie
I was never big on Sorbo as an actor

Many thx as always😄
