Are there any movies that you haven't seen for yonks that you've remembered recently? It's nice when you suddenly remember films that you haven't seen for ages.

I looked in the Sunday TV Mag yesterday and saw Flight of The Navigator.. that was a wicked film.. then I remembered D.A.R.Y.L, another good one.

What movies can you remember from watching when you were young ?

Wasn't that the film which featured Hannibal from the A Team as a Space Cowboy? And didn't Robert Vaughn have some sort of crappy ship too and a bunch of Aliens in a UFO were all linked or am I getting confused with the Last Starfighter where he wins the battle spinning his ship so fast it is stupid and made me want to kill.

I must seek help.

Excellent Movie.

Cocaine definately played a part in the concoction of that story.

Has anyone heard of a film called "Ankle Biters"? It's about midget vampires. Blockbuster actually refused to rent it to someone I know on the grounds that it was too bad! Saw it in Harlow Blockbuster the other week, but got out Return To Collinwood instead. I know what I'm getting next time though!

"Ankle Biters" is one of the worst films I have ever seen. With midget vampires and a micro budget you would have thought at least some fun might be found in it, but sadly, no. ("Jack Frost: The Killer Snowman" springs to mind where the opposite is true)

The acting is appaling (I can stand that), the story is poor (I can stand that too), effects are none existent (again, no a problem) but the criminal fact is that its just *boring*

Each time the midget vamps attack, they just sort of lie on the floor, growling and nibbling the big guys legs. Trust me, it's not as fun as it sounds.

Save yourself 3 quid. Don't bother.

It's either that or Kangaroo Jack - you see my dilemma?

Phhhho. A difficult choice indeed. Go for "Cradle of Fear" starring the lead singer from Cradle of Filth. Thats a good gore fest, if you are into that sort of thing ;)

Predictable, but I havn't seen gore at that level since "Brain Dead"

Ticks.
A cheesy low budget horror film starring Carlton from The Fresh Prince of Bel Air and Scott Evil.
They're amongst a group of troublesome inner-city kids who go camping in the forest as part of some city youth project, but what they find is more terrifying and horrific than anyone could ever imagine; oversized killer ticks!

It could be an ironic B-movie spoof, or just plain clichéd crap, I can't remember.

clichéd crap if I remember correctly. There was next to no gore or tick attacks in it.
