That's the beauty of liking old classics, a lot of people forget about them/have never seen them so I can pick up R1 niceness for £9 each
The Hitcher - If you haven't seen this then you probably don't appreciate blacker than night cinema experience. Bleak, unrelenting, grim and relentless. And Rutget Haur being better than he was in Blade Runner.
Kid picks up hitchiker to keep him awake as he drives across country to deliver a car. Hitchiker is 100% psycho and pursues him for no reason at all other than "I want you to stop me". Genius film.
Miami Blues - Alec Baldwin, Jennifer Jason Leigh and Fred Ward. Alec is Junior, a newly released con that kills a Hari Krishna in an airport for touching him. Moves in with Leigh, a former prostitute and is investigated by Fred Ward. Has "Spirit in The Sky" as the title music, Fred Ward getting beaten up and his teeth stolen and Baldwin's fingers getting chopped off by a fat pawnbroker woman that keeps a massive shotgun wielding Mexican in a back room for protection. Superb film.
"He stole your teeth? You're pathetic Mosely. And you look like an old man slept on you"
Southern Comfort - Fred Ward, Powers Booth, Keith Carradine, Brion James and a bunch of others.
Louisiana National Guardsmen on practices in the swamps shoot at Cajuns for amusement using blanks. Cajuns dont like this and spend the next 90 mins hunting them down in the Louisiana swamps. Directed by Walter Hill and the best movie music ever provided by Ry Cooder and his slide-guitar delta blues atmosphere. Includes an onscreen pig-gutting, punji stakes, Cajuns being mental and Brion James as a one-armed Cajun shouting "Keeeel 'iiiim"

Just checked IMDB and they did another, "Naqoyqatsi" in 2002.

Sorry to bump this after so long but I was browsing and I had to reply!

I'd never seen it before but my mum's husband was always on about it and I wasn't about to fork out silly money for a VHS copy. Aren't there 3 now?

Yeah, I know what you mean :-) I had a party the other weekend and I put it on without the sound on and it was pretty cool. I shouldn't have though as the soundtrack goes very well with it.

The Warriors is one of my favourites. The soundtrack is brilliant, I think by the same guy who did the theme for "V" the TV series.

John Carpenter is brilliant. I own a lot of his films and the music is always a highlight. I see a pattern emerging here...
> Welcome to the forums Primal, nice to talk to another movie buff.
Thanks. Movies are a passion and it's always nice to talk about them.

I picked up Vampires by chance, because I was looking for another video to make up the 3 videos for £15 a while ago (had already picked up Blade and South Park bigger longer uncut)
Since I'd never seen a film with james woods in it (apart from that simpsons episode) so I bought it, I also thought it might be interesting to compare vamp films, since dracula and vampires in general (except count von count) scared the 'beep'(you've been framed patented beep editing there) out of me when I was a child.
Any way while Blade was cool, Vampire was another kind of 'cool' with my favourite bit where woods asks the priest if killing a vampire gave him wood lol

Ghosts of Mars was good in a so bad it's good way.
Vampires was cool. I've seen it in Spanish too. A little confusing maybe...
Woods doesn't do subtlety.
He does smoking and shooting and swearing and being really, really angry all the time.
Apparently if my life was a Hollywood movie, he'd be the perfect Goatboy.
Or Dennis Hopper in Blue Velvet - but that would make baby Jesus cry.

He was even cool in The Simpsons.
"God damn no goof freakin **** *** ***** ***** **** cheese! No not you, I'm talking to my oven."
Vampires was good because James Wood shot a vampire nun repeatedly in the face with a shotgun at point blank range. A small part of subtlety died that day.

He was great in Midnight sting...

This is true.
James Woods can make anything cool

Vampires is cool mainly because it's got James Woods acting like a badass in it.
