I think this is the only "Run the Series" ranking that I 100% agreed on. I think really highly of "Conquest," but the original is still the strongest film, in part because of its sheer originality but also its strange mix of conviction and willingness to embrace its absurdity.

Yeah, I remember seeing the documentary on TV, and even though I'd seen the first POTA, I had no idea the sequels were so interesting both for their high concept SF and political commentary. I probably would never have watched them if not for the documentary, even though the doc basically spoiled all of them for me.…

Fright Night and The Legend of Hell House have always been favorites of mine, and McDowall's eccentric performances elevate them.

…And the book they're reading is called "To Serve Man," and there's a recipe at the end…

Yeah, the fourth really impressed me. It still holds up very well, with its political subject being (depressingly) timeless, it seems.

…And I kept thinking the movie would be improved if it turned into a summer camp slasher in the last reel. Just a suggestion.

I rewatched Meatballs last week and it really doesn't hold up. There's a lot of schmaltz, awful music (oh, the Rick Dees theme to "Meatballs"…) and Murray's mugging just is nowhere near as funny or inspired as he would be in subsequent movies. A few months ago I rewatched Stripes too, and it holds up a little better,…

I love Spirits of the Dead, but mainly for Toby Dammit. The phantom girl seems to be influenced by the one in Mario Bava's "Kill Baby Kill," which is a Gothic classic.

I had the Disney Channel in the 80's and they used to show very strange and rare animated films, and The Mouse and His Child is one of them. I watched it a lot. It's depressing as hell, but that's all I remember about it. The Point, on the other hand, is a stone-cold classic.

I saw this trailer before Baby Driver and laughed out loud at that line.

"But The Little Hours isn’t really spoofing anything in
particular, even if Baena’s flatly presentational direction—goosed by
the occasional ’70s-style zoom and the hilarious Renaissance faire
squareness of Dan Romer’s score—does sometimes recall the ascetic
austerity of the classic religious almost-comedy The Flowers…

It was so weird during the Bev/Bill sex scene that she kept crying out, "You were great in Creepshow! You were great in Creepshow!"

There were some suggestions that the movie was going to be watered down since the original director was fired, so I think that's where the "story" is (It's still "R," don't worry, etc.). Not saying this is newsworthy, but I think that's the real reason why this news is making the website rounds.

I don't know. I knew that scene from the book long before I read it, because my fellow freshman high schoolers were describing it to me in can-you-believe-it detail around the time that the miniseries came out.

Same here. This is a negative review that sold me on the movie.

For that scene when all the Avengers have to check into the ER.

I was laughing at how much Iron Fist merchandise was at Chicago's C2E2 this year. Racks and racks of unsold tee-shirts.

My favorite Pixar movie is Beowulf.

I should correct what I said; I enjoyed it from the beginning but didn't really love it until 5 or 6. Cry Wilderness, the second episode, is really good.

It took me until about the 5th or 6th episode before I started really enjoying it, and their riffing rhythm relaxes.
