Movies I Like

Here is a list of some movies I like and why I like 'em (in no order)

***************************************************************************************************************

Night of the Living Dead (1968)

Night of the Living Dead is considered to of helped the horror franchise in America.

Directed by George A. Romero this film is about a group of strangers trapped in an old house, surrounded

by a large crowd of zombies. If you are going to watch any of these films, I would recommend this one, as its public domain

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966)

Il buono, il brutto, il cattivo

I first saw this movie on Film 4 and I liked it at once.

I think the main reason why I liked it was because of Clint Eastwood, who played Blondie.

I don't want to spoil anything, so all I will say is that's it's good

Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975)

Monty Python brings us one of their best movies, and what I think, one of the best movies.

The (silly) plot is as follows, King Arthur (played by the late Graham Chapman) and his knights go on

a low-budget search for the Holy Grail. On their way there, they meet all sorts of funny people.

The knights are met by a wizard called Tim (John Cleese), who brings them to the killer rabbit. They run away.

They then need to cross a bridge by answering three questions.

When they do cross it, they are met by the police, who then arrest them.

The Thing (1982)

Oh my God, I love this movie!

The Thing is about a group of scientists who are in the Antarctic and find a frozen body

in a block of ice. The body turns out to be a shape-shifting alien that copies the scientists comrades

By far my favorite character was Kurt Russell's R.J. MacReady. By far, one of the best things about

the movie was the aliens animation. It's really k00l

Airplane! (1980)

Airplane! is one of Leslie Nielsen's first comedy films and for his first, it's very good.

The film is about the pilots of a plain become too ill the fly the plane (that's in mid flight) so Ted -

an ex-fighter pilot from the war - decides to try and land the plane.

Always have a great time watching this movie!

Haxan: Witchcraft Through the Ages (1922)

Heksen

This great public domain documentary is about a woman, who is thought to be a witch.

The next part of the movie shows a witch trial and how the people doing the trial tried to make the "witch" confess.

By the end of the movie, it shows how witchcraft is treated in the present day (in this case 1922)

***

The movie was banned in the USA and heavily censored in other countries for what was considered at that time to be

graphic depictions of torture, nudity and sexual acts.

However, in 1968 America, an abbreviated version of the film was released, called "Witchcraft Through the Ages".

It was narration by William S. Burroughs and had a horrible jazz score by Daniel Humair

A Trip to the Moon (1902)

Le voyage dans la lune

A Trip to the Moon is a 1902 French silent film directed by Georges Melies.

It is about a group of astronomers who travel to the Moon in a cannon-propelled rocket.

When on the moon, they are captured by moon-men, they then escape, and return to the earth.

Back to the Future Part I (1985)

In a test with Dr. Emmett Brown, Marty McFly is accidentally sent to the year

1955 in a DeLorean, where he meets his mother...who falls in love with him...ew...

He must then try and get his mum to fall in love with his dad, so they can have children

My Neighbor Totoro (1988)

Tonari no Totoro

My Neighbor Totoro is Studio Ghibli's third film, made in 1988, this

movie was loved at the box office so much that in 1989 it was nominated for six

awards and won all six. It was nominated once more in 1995, but sadly lost.

The plot in a nut shell is about two girls who move to a new house, they soon

meet a woodland animal called Totoro, who helps the girls on their way.

By the way I saw the dubbed version.
