Recommendations!
Duchess Tapioca:
I would like you to reccomend to me movies that I might like that I have not seen. They should be on the dvd and be either thought provoking in some way, or whimsey. +2000 bonus points for whimsy. I do not think enough people are reccomending movies.
Please do not recomend anything that you think would give me nightmares too bad, because I am easily startled and taunted by terrors and I do not like watching gore. Unfortunatly I will watch ANYTHING someone reccomends as good, and I always tell myself I like horror movies! I do not like them unless the blood is very obviously chocolate syrup, the body parts are made of rubber or Anthony Hopkins stars. I WOULD LIKE TO REQUEST THAT ALL RECOMENDATIONS HAVE NIGHTMARE WARNINGS IF THEY ARE EVER SCARY? That would be nice.
I am also irrationally afraid of ghosts, try not to reccomed movies with ghosts, except for Casper.
Also try not to reccomend things from the last 5 years that are mainstream unless you really think I haven't seen them. I see a lot of movies.
Also continue to reccomend good movies for other people and your books and stuff. Especially if the library at my university has them, but the library is really creepy to me - there are flickering lights, so I do not know. Heebie jeebies and all.
Speaking of Anthony Hopkins, I think you should watch Hearts in Atlantis, it has lots of whimsy and my very favorite cars. It is one of my favorite stories ever and it always makes me smile. It is probably a lot sappy for some people's tastes though. If so, you can just watch it for the cars.
KharBevNor:
Thought provoking? Whimsey.
I'm just gonna repeat Magnus and Reykjavik 101. Both might be a little hard to get hold of, but both are wonderful. Magnus has horseys.
Widdle Icelandic horseys.
How up are you with classic black and white monster movies? They're not scary, just awesome. If you're rushed, skip them all except for Bride of Frankenstein, which is the campest they got whilst still being serious films. Also, nowadays, Bride of Frankenstein is a 15 because it promotes smoking! Egad!
And you've seen my favourite film, Nosferatu, right?
Duchess Tapioca:
I am actually awful proud of my black and white horror movie collection, it does include Nosferatu. That one made me laugh. Night of the living dead gave me nightmares though, okay? It is that bad.
Thanks for Maguns and and R....y...j... somthing 101. I wrote them on the library request forms for what to buy in the way of DVD's next month, other suggestions I found in the box were "Mo' Porn" and "More documentries involving fuzzy bears and ducks pleas!" That one included a lovely fuzzy bear illustration. I also asked them for Dark Crystal, because they do not have it.
You wuv widdle horseys too!?
Okay... Recomendation... Today I reccomend Tod Browning's "Freaks." It was banned in the UK for 30 years, and some of the laws banning it in the US were never officially repealed, but the film was very well done. I think it was originally supposed to shock people, but now it's more one of those "monstrosity is on the inside" type deals, since our generation (hopefully) has been sucessfuly conditioned not to have a gut negetive reaction to people with corporeal differences. Gooble Goble! It is on dvd now.
EDIT: Also as an added bonus, you will now understand countless South Park refrences, especially Butter's Very Own Episode, and other little ones.
Bunnyman:
Red Dawn. Any movie that opens with Soviet Paratroopers landing on the football field of a Rural Colorado high school is fine by me.
zmeiat_joro:
Seconded, it's a hilarious film. George Ganchev plays a Soviet soldier, speaks in something that vaguely resembles Russian, and gets shot in the ass with an arrow. More than enough reason to see it.
*he's a Bulgarian politician and twice world champion in fencing; a comedy show dug up that film a few years ago. He's definitely a cool guy, though.
