Why does a monster movie necessarily have to be a comedy, a horror, or cheesy?
Sigh, I knew at least one person was going to make a pointless remark about my comment.
I don't see how it's pointless. You didn't put a whole lot of substance in your original post about The Host. All you seemed to say was that it wasn't cheesy, a horror, or a comedy and therefore was crap.

I was simply attempting to make the point(less) that a monster movie does not necessarily have to fit the horror, comedy, or sci-fi original feature genres.

Dr. Strangelove- awesome Kubrick title, with awesome Peter Sellers acting, it had taken me a while to get around to this one, but I loved it- funny, but great subject matter!

Restrepo- doc. about the current war in Afghanistan, and a small outpost called Restrepo, very intense documentary and one of the more interesting parts is that there is no narration!

El Topo- weird "acid western" about god knows what, ha. Just Kidding, but this is one of the weirder movies I have seen. The first part of the movie was great, with a slight narrative, with its own trippy twist, it was great, the second half of the movie however completely lost me, I will have to re-watch at somepoint

12 Monkeys- I love Brad Pitt I love Bruce Willis I love Terry Gilliam I love 12 Monkeys-- essentially a bad ass time travel movie, that kind of reminded me of the matrix, there is an older French movie called la Jetee (the pier) that it was based off of that I can not wait to see

Me and my parents watched Donnie Darko. Quite an...interesting title to say the least :lol:

Then I watched the Blu-Ray of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory :shock: This Blu Ray was one of the best I have ever seen. Quite a good transfer, quite the step up from the old pan and scanned DVD I have :lol:

Dr. Strangelove
is one of my all time favorites. Glad you liked it. I have El Topo sitting around and have been meaning to watch it - I picked it up after seeing The Holy Mountain, which I thoroughly recommend for even more mind-fuck gorgeous strangeness. I also recently rewatched 12 Monkeys and plan to watch la Jetee soon...it is actually a short, iirc.

Yeah, I watched Strangelove on Blu-Ray, which I must say was gorgeous. I bought the Jodorowsky box set, so Holy Mountain is in my stack right now :) I saw on Netflix that Jetee was a short, which was kind of exciting (for the sake of time!)

I watched yesterday and right now

Don't Look Now- recently Time Out London gave this their number one movie of all time, so I watched it on Netflix Instant, very good movie, very creepy, but by no means the best British movie ever

The Great Yokai War- fucking crazy horror/sci-fi/childrens/fantasy japanese movie, by the great Takashi Miike- very weird, and kind of confusing, but entertaining in the same way power rangers is (with better acting)
