I'm curious about a couple movies that I may possibly watch. I normally go by IMDB, but there are a few movies I own that don't specifically say horror in the genre. All this talk of Jaws has got me wondering. First movie is Duel. IMDB lists it as a thriller, but I find the movie to be very similar to the later Joy Ride. Also, I noticed I saw on at least one list was the Underworld movies. Would they count as well?

I've spent the last couple of days going through the Nightmare on Elm Street box set, and for the first time all month, it seemed like a chore. The first one was great, but parts 2, 3, 4 and 5 were hard to get through. It almost seemed like I was watching the same movie all over again. Freddy's Dead got a little better, but at least it ended on a high note as I really enjoyed New Nightmare. I may have liked the earlier ones better if I had not watched them back to back to back.

I guess you shouldn't go by what I say, but I watched Duel last year and no one complained.

Personally, I'd list Duel and the Underworld flicks as horror.

Ordered Night of the Creeps online. Got shipping confirmation last Friday. Opened my mailbox today, and what did I find? Nothing. Now I'm kinda bummed. I'm hoping it will get here tomorrow, but I was really, really looking forward to watching it tonight.

I noticed a download link for the Rifftrax player but decided to try it on my own this first time. That's a good idea about making your own DVD.
I was *trying* to watch by playing the mp3 file and DVD both from my computer, which is hooked up to my TV and receiver. Then I started wondering what I would do for a Blu-ray, since I don't have a Blu-ray drive on my computer. Would you play the Rifftrax through your TV speakers and the movie through the external ones?

Two reasons why I wouldn't do it through the TV speakers is that I don't want to deal with going behind the TV to hook up audio cables and I'd also want to be able to control it from my couch. If I need to do any quick pauses on either the movie or riff to get it synced, I don't want to get up to do it and I also don't have a long enough audio cable to run from the TV to the couch.

Has anyone seen Lady in White yet? I just watched it this evening. What a great little ghost story! Shot right up on my list of favs after one viewing.

After a productive day of movie watching today I'm right in reach of 100. I probably would have been able to squeeze another in if I wasn't fighting with my dvd player all day.

If I was going to do a Blu-ray movie, I'd play the movie through my home theater and then just put the rifftrax on an mp3 player(preferred) and listen through one headphone or play it through a laptop.

Great movie. I saw it for the first time on VHS back in the day and just fell in love with it. I need to revisit it again one of these days.

I just got back from seeing The House of the Devil. After all the the good word on it, I was pretty disappointed.

I love that movie! It has such a cool atmosphere. I feel like I'm really in that small town watching everything play out while I'm watching it. I have a lot of respect for it being able to pull me into the movie like that. Plus I think it perfectly captures the feeling of being a kid, trusting the adults around you, getting sucked into a mystery. I really enjoy this movie. I don't have the VHS anymore so I need to buy the DVD one of these days.

Perhaps a bit late, but I've found another interesting short that would work as a wildcard for the 1890 decade on the checklist:
Le Diable au convent (The Devil in a Convent) (1899)
Runtime: 3 minutes
IMDB Link
Watch on Youtube
It's basically about the Devil appearing in a convent, terrorizing the nuns and and turning all the religious imagery into Satanic imagery, conjuring some demons, etc. before the priests show up to send him back to hell. Pretty cool for something made in the 19th century.

Nice find. I think I'm actually going to have one wildcard leftover; I might use it on this short. If not, there will definitely be next year!

And interestingly enough, it got mixed reviews from Siskel and Ebert:

I have 10 left to meet my goal of 100 but my parents are driving up tomorrow to visit all day, my fiances birthday is Friday, and Saturday is Halloween so I have no idea how I'm going to fit in 10 movies yet. All I know is if I'm this close and don't finish I'll be kicking myself for it.

I'm getting close, but I'll come up just shy of completing it again. Those damn 'takes place in space' and 'based on a video game' get me every time. But ultimately it just comes down to not wanting to watch certain titles for the umpteenth time.
