Brawndo...it's what plants crave

It's got electrolytes!

 

[jiggs_casey]

Here's a good test for you that everyone I ask gets wrong. What caused Donny's heart attack?

Fear. The confrontation with the nihilists in the parking lot.

 

[azscoob]

I just finished watching another cult classic: Army of Darkness!

"Alright you Primitive Screwheads, listen up! You see this? This... is my BOOMSTICK!"

next up....MST3K episodes!

 

[Ashz]

I loved Evil dead, I and II, I actually prefer II, but I absolutely love the one liners in Army of darkness.

Bruce Campbell is the man. I also loved Bubba Hotep. I'm a sucker for that guy.

 

[Bulls Beers]

Has anybody said, Humanoids from the deep. Lots of monsters and naked girls..

How about "bloodsucking freaks"..An oldie but a goody...

 

[Coastarine]

Altered States.

 

[azscoob]

wow, I have bloodsucking freaks on a dusty old VHS tape!

 

[nakros]

The evil dead movies for sure. After that, I've got to say that I loved "The Cube". The sequel was awesome as well: The Cube 2: "Hypercube". Has anyone else seen "The Cube" movies? I loved them but can't find anyone else who has seen them or even remotely wants to....

After that, my favorite "odd" movie of all time is by far "Being John Malkovich". Everything about the movie is just astoundingly strange. Enter John Malkovich's mind for 5 minutes then get spit out on the side of the New Jersey turn pike? Genius!

Fear. The confrontation with the nihilists in the parking lot.

Props for being the only one to even guess

But incorrect. Lots of people think that, though. It's actually because he didn't bowl a strike in the scene before that. Watch carefully. Whenever Donny rolls, he bowls a strike. Right before the nihilist confrontation he bowls but doesn't bowl a strike, the sound is muted slightly then returns to normal as the camera focuses on Donny's confused face. He sits down and rubs his arm because it hurts.

This is a sign that he's about to have a heart attack (pain in the arm). This shows you how much bowling means to the group, that not bowling your usual potential causes a heart attack. God I love that movie!

I have the cube movies, they are pretty good.

here are a couple really odd ones.

the Forbidden Zone Written and directed by Danny Elfmans Brother with music by the Mystic Knights of the Oingo Boingo
and
Human Highway directed by Neil Young starring Devo

 

[GoldMiner]

How about some French horror movies?

High Tension
Frontier(s)
Inside
Martyrs

 

[Ashz]

I own all the cube movies as well. I am still convinced that Saw was a ripoff of Cube.

High tension was pretty awsome, I own that as well.

 

[Pickngrin]

Anything by Sir Christopher Guest, especially Waiting for Guffman.

Does The Fisher King count?

Your definition of "cult" is far, far broader than mine. With the possible exception of RD, all of those films are mainstream.

I agree....

Second on JC Vampire Hunter, the scene where he's riding the scooter through town with a muted jazz beat and the "Matthew....Mark....Luke...." in the background had me in stitches.

Here's a few of my favorites:

"Hell Comes to Frogtown" - The Rowdy Roddy Piper is the last fertile man on Earth....with atomic chastity belt, bummer. Experience the dance of the three snakes!

"The Forbidden Zone" - Crazy b&w musical from the 80's with Danny Elfman as the Devil, singing "Minnie the Moocher." A midget, lots of female nudity, and a frogman in a flapper tux named "Bustrod" as well.

"The Howling II: Stirba, Werewolf Bitch" - Christopher Lee is probably embarassed by this film, and that's saying something. Dwarf with exploding eyeballs, werewolf menage a trois, stop motion homunculus...

"At the Earth's Core" - Peter Cushing, Doug McClure, and Caroline Munroe at the center of Earth with psychic pterodactyls, toad monsters that explode when falling of cliffs, and a character called "Hooja, the Sly One" flesh out this adaptation of the Edgar Rice Burroughs classic.

"Night of the Lepus" - Star Trek's Dr. McCoy battles hideous mutant irradiated......rabbits. That's right, nothing inspires terror quite like the bloody maw of an oversized herbivore...

"Weasels Rip my Flesh" - This movie opens up with a 5 minute philosophical diatribe before delving into a mad world of rockets made from office supplies, weasels made from felt, and a cast made from a 70's porn flick...at least the male half.

"Journey to the Seventh Planet" - The 7th planet is Uranus, for the record...though not the Uranus we've come to know and love. It is a solid planet resembling Earth, complete with breathable atmosphere! (which is a good thing, because the helmets on the space suits don't connect to the suit, and one of the unfortunate astronauts rips a big hole in the back of his pants while fleeing a malevolent brain.)

"The Crippled Masters" - You've probably never seen a kung-fu flick that pits a man with no arms against a man with no legs before.

"Lair of the White Worm" - Tired of your wife subjecting you to all those Hugh Grant romantic comedies? Would you rather see him chop an old hag in two with a broad sword? Bonus snake-woman seducing a boy scout.

"Zaat" - I wouldn't even subject my inlaws to this film, let alone my worst enemy. Scientist thinks it would be good idea to turn self into mutant land catfish...realizes that there are no mutant land catfish women to mate with....plots to kidnap women and turn them into mutant land catfish so he can mate.... like he was doing a lot of that before he turned into a mutant land catfish??? Awesome.

"Legend of Dinosaurs and Monster Bird" - This Japanese film completely delivers on the promise of the title, including singular bird. Not sure what was going on because I don't speak japanese, but there was some T&A and a nice volcanic eruption.

"Slave Girls from Beyond Infinity" - Women....in prison....in space! That is, until they escape and crash land on a moon where they're hunted for sport, in sexy night gowns, by a wealthy sportsman fellow with a big laser.


I could go on and on. Nothing pairs with home brew quite like bad cinema.

I was thinking the same thing.

Bad taste can't be mentioned without DEAD ALIVE.

Bruce Campbell is the man. I also loved Bubba Hotep. I'm a sucker for that guy.

I can't believe he was in those crappy tv shows about "CONAN deuchebag and SABRINA warrior princess or Whatever TF.

 

[azscoob]

how about this classic... The Wizard of Gore. I just got this bad boy on DVD, so now I can get rid of the VHS copy I have had sitting around. (I havent had a VHS player in YEARS)

 

[user 22118]

The Professional , Natalie Portman in her first movie and a great actor even then

I could go on and on. Nothing pairs with home brew quite like bad cinema.

My friend and I have a bad movie night every Monday or Tuesday and every other week we switch off with beer buying duties. Those sound right up our alley!

Tonight we just watched Night Patrol. The Red Ale, Belgian Special Dark (my homebrew), and Wheatwine definitly helped us get into the mood of the movie. Horrible but with it's moments. I would say strange, but I've seen waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyy stranger (Earserhead anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?).

Why the hell do we torture ourselves so?!?!?!

 

[Doog_Si_Reeb]

The Professional , Natalie Portman in her first movie and a great actor even then

That's a great movie! I have the Serial Killer brand sticker with Natalie Portman learning to clean a pistol and the words at the bottom say "Teach Them Well"

 

[Doog_Si_Reeb]

Ravenous



With one of the greatest lines ever:

"If you die first, I'm definitely going to eat you!"

 

[user 22118]

Ahhh, young Padewan. If you like strange and yet nifty films, go back to when Jean-Pierre Jeunet started making films.

Delicatessen



City of Lost children, featuring an awkwardly French speaking Ron Pearlman (Hellboy anyone?)


Then he made a little known movie called Alien 3 Ressurection, followed by a small indie flick Amelie.

 

[gak27]

Aguirre: The Wrath of God - saw this in a "Klaus Kinski" double feature w/ Nosferatu...

Koyaanisqatsi - saw this with my mental faculties "slighty skewed" shall we say...

Das Boot - not as much of one as the others, but still not what I would consider mainstream...

Kurosawa's Ran and The Seven Samurai...

 

[cheezydemon3]

+1 city of lost children.

The scene where the guy switches their visor cords so the other guy can watch himself being killed is soooooo wrong!

The fleas are bad assed too.

 

[GoldMiner]

American Psycho

+1!!!!! LOOOOOOOOOOOOVVVVVVEEEEEEE that movie...
