Because it's the newest movie on your list.

The Babadook was ok but I expected it to be a little more frightening. At different times the main characters were annoying to me. I'm glad I watched it but I'm not sure I'll be watching again.

I'm reverting back to my old list because there are some movies on my current list that I really want to watch now.

My list:
1. The Loft (2014)
2. The Identical (2014)
3. Frankie & Alice (2010)
4. The Substitute (1996)
5. Grey Gardens (2009)
6. The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover (1989)
7. We Are What We Are (2013)
8. A History of Violence (2005)
9. The Sisterhood of Night (2014)
10. Flight (2012)

Movies I've watched

The Man with the Golden Doujinshi

This series is a great example of DTV awful action that starts off with a fun movie.

I liked Burnt Offerings but I can easily see why others wouldn't. I went in knowing it was PG and wouldn't going to show much gore, although the end with the car surprised me. The twist was all but given away at the very end, right before it happened but up to that point it could have been anything.

I never found Bette Davis attractive. I think she has bug eyes and reminds me of the monster bounty hunters from The Last Starfighter.



He has Bette Davis eyes


I also think Drew Barrymore is hideous. The shape of her head reminds me of Rocky from Mask.

And while we're at it, Kim Kardashian has the butt of Thelma Harper from Mama's Family and Kanye West has Thelma's stern expression.

Bumping this thread in hope that someone will pick another horror movie for me to watch prior to switching over to my comedy challenge list.

The Man with the Golden Doujinshi

I'll watch mine after work.

BobO'Link

I'm breathing down the neck of 100 in the Horror challenge and haven't been in the mood for non-horror so haven't gotten to my non-horror title. I may work it in tonight depending on mood...

The Man with the Golden Doujinshi

Lady Vengeance was good but I think I'll sell it. I didn't think the lead up to the end was all that great. You could have easily replaced the ending with all sorts of other things, while keeping the rest the same.

Hopefully you have time to watch this before the end of the horror challenge.

I somehow missed seeing Pumpkinhead when it came out in the 80's. I'm glad I finally watched it as I am a fan of Lance Henriksen.

Switching to a list for the comedy challenge.

The Man with the Golden Doujinshi

Didn't see the post till this morning. I'd been working on the last season of Freddy's Nightmares. I'll get to it later today, then switch to comedy.

I always liked Pumpkinhead, not so much the sequels.

The Man with the Golden Doujinshi

Curtains had issues. It tried to be a couple different things that didn't make sense. The slasher part wasn't great. Weird edits. I had more enjoyment watching the documentary that went over all the issues. Would not watch again and I'll probably sell it off.

Comedy challenge list

I've been out of the loop for a while since we had the Horror Movie Challenge and then Thanksgiving. Now I'm back to my lists again.

I watched The Substitute. I enjoyed it although I thought the mercs should've been wearing bulletproof vests and somethings may have turned out a little different. But overall it was a good movie and I enjoyed it.

2. The Identical (2014)

Although The Emperor's New Groove isn't one of the first movies you think about from the classical animated Disney films, I found it very enjoyable and a nice change of pace from the musicals.

Reverting back to my original list:

• Badlands (1973)
• Empire of the Sun (1987)
• Much Ado About Nothing (2012)

Ever since I discovered a favorite western, The Magnificent Seven, is a remake of this I wanted to see it and finally did a couple of years back. I greatly enjoyed it. I hope you do as well!

Curse of the Golden Flower (2006) is a interesting and very good period piece about family betrayal in the Chinese court, specifically The Forbidden City. It has a very twisted plot, subterfuge, and martial arts action with some incredible scenes.

I inadvertently watched Pot o' Gold (1941) during the Comedy Challenge so am replacing it on my list. I really enjoyed it and was surprised to discover it's a musical. I had no idea going in and had purchased it because of Jimmy Stewart and Paulette Goddard, both of whom I enjoy seeing in films.

I pick Avanti! because I think it has been on your list for a while.

Gone Baby Gone was pretty good. I definitely wasn't expecting the outcome but it was a good movie and I like Casey Affleck so it was win/win for me. If you haven't seen it I recommend watching it. It was worth the time.

Random.org says you get #10: Flight. That was used as I know nothing about any of the films on your list.

I'm glad you selected Avanti! as I've wanted to watch it for some time. It's from a favorite writer/director, Billy Wilder, with a favorite actor, Jack Lemmon, and the very attractive Juliet Mills. While it's a rom/com it's quite scathing at times with lots of humorous social commentary. It actually has a *nude scene* with Lemmon and Mills which is *not* exploitative and actually pivotal to part of the plot! What a concept! The film bombed when released. I don't get that as it's a excellent, almost perfect, romantic film full of witt and sentimentality.

It's Bond... James Bond for you my friend. IMHO those early Bond outings are the best.

Eagle vs Shark (2007) was OK, but just OK. It's frequently awkward watching the main character being a total buffoon/jackass in how he treats himself and his family/loved ones. It just isn't my idea of "funny." While there *are* moments I found it mostly uncomfortable to watch. The main female character should have dumped him after going to the party but we wouldn't have then had a movie...

It's time for you to watch The Birds.

I finally had 3 1/2 hours to watch Seven Samurai. I was actually concerned about watching a subtitled film of that length, but after I became involved in the story, it had no trouble keeping my attention.

I'm switching my list for the Academy Award challenge. I'm keeping those titles which qualify and adding to the list.

Although Brave was not one of my favorite Pixar movies, I did find it enjoyable and the animation was beautiful.

You get Empire of the Sun as it's one of the few Spielberg films I'll willingly watch, as well as recommend, plus it's the only film on your list I've seen.

Outcast (2014) was barely "just OK" suffering from a severe case of mis-casting, poor direction, and poor writing. Hayden Christensen's skills have improved a bit from the horrible performances in the Star Wars prequels, but just a bit. He's *not* up to the challenge presented by this film and is frequently out acted by his co-stars. Nicolas Cage was the worst case of mis-casting I've seen in some time. His performance was simply horrible as he repeatedly proved he should never be chosen for films of this type.

I don't know what, if anything, the writer and director have done before but it looks, sounds, and feels like a first film for both. The writing was pretty basic presenting a "by-the-book" story of "redemption" with a cast that, mostly (see above), helped pull it off to a degree. The directing was all over the place style wise, as if the director couldn't decide just *how* he wanted it filmed.
