"Powell also directed The Conqueror (1956) starring John Wayne as Genghis Khan. The exterior scenes were filmed in St. George, Utah, downwind of US above-ground atomic tests. The cast and crew totaled 220 and of that number, 91 had developed some form of cancer by 1981 and 46 had died of cancer by then, including

Everybody clap for Tinkerbell.
"MSNBC's Television's Keith Olbermann tells viewers THEY are responsible for his return to the air."

He's only 5'9". It would be like kicking a puppy. Why would you want to do that?

Nay, mcc… Spaceman First Class "Mack" Duff was from his Bokanovsky jar untimely decanted.

Uneasy lies the head that levitates a crown.

The sickening population explosion in India (similar to what's happening throughout the third world):

how did you miss this gem from John Cusack?

Carpenter's best or second best movie (some would say "Halloween" is clearly his most important, but it doesn't do anything for me). What elevates Mouth of Madness is its sophisticated themes, albeit borrowed from Lovecraft. Also, for purposes of ranking, Mouth of Madness and Cigarette Burns need to be equated as a

Completely agree with Floyd. The first movie is an all-time great. Other movies sharing the "Phantasm" name are just standard low budget horror movies and have nothing in common with the first one stylistically—none of its surrealism and nightmare logic.

Yeah, really. Did someone just say Maxwell Anderson is "hella weak"?

Saw the first 5 minutes of Spider Baby. Turned off Spider Baby. Sent Spider Baby back to Netflix. Looked like a sick joke on old character actors who needed the paycheck, and I wasn't laughing.

The only horror in The Tenant comes from wondering how Polanski could have made this and when is he going to take off that wig. I'm going to generously call this a suspense picture.

Glad to see some love for "The Car." Saw that in a double feature with "Good Guys Where Black." You kids know what a double feature is, right?

My initial reaction to this argument was that I wouldn't even put Carpenter's "Thing" in the top five of Carpenter's movies, mostly because it's not as original in concept as his other movies. My recollection is I saw this once and never thought about it again … so maybe I'll need to revisit it.

"Is that stud coming??"

Just saw this like three hours ago. Really well made — Michael Redgrave is amazing — lighting and photography in the ghost episode wonderfully evocative. Movie made in 1945 in England but you'd have no idea there was a war on. This movie was hugely influential: probably all short horror/fantasy anthology movies+TV

Back in my day, apocalypses were about nuclear weapons or jungle diseases or alien invasions or maybe insects. I miss those days.

The claim was it's the "Dr. Strangelove of robot UPRISING movies", not just robot movies. Robocop doesn't try to take over the world. Plus Robocop isn't a friggin robot—it's a guy interfaced with a machine, so it's cybernetics.
