Ah, the one that started it all. I had to think for a moment which one that is, such is the trouble with it having multiple names.
I guess it had to be Luther really, he's been there since the beginning, and his death would propel Ethan to go after Gabriel (speaking of Gabriel, why did he suddenly become Dick Dastardly?) more than anyone else.
Though I haven't seen TG: Maverick, considering Kilmer's health at the time, and his passing since, I don't doubt it has a greater impact on the audience.
Harry Kümel’s erotic vampire tale drifts like a dark dream: beautiful, melancholy, and impossible to escape. Surrealism reigns as Kümel slowly unmoors his characters from reality, bathing them in strange colors, seawater, and sand until the world itself feels hypnotized. Delphine Seyrig moves through it all like an apparition of desire and danger, her every gesture a quiet rebellion against a patriarchal age. I love everything about this film; Daughters Of Darkness is mysterious, overlooked, yet unforgettable once seen.
Billy joel and so it goes: honestly a good two parts documentary on his life

@GoldenGun
The film is set in Ostend, with an international cast directed by a bloke from Antwerp who during his career received more praise abroad than in his own country.
"If it bleeds...we can kill it!"
In anticipation of going to 'Predator: Badlands' tomorrow with my service users, I thought I'd give the original another whirl! Still great fun, though the majority of the film is like an adult A-Team movie ( it even has Craig Baxley on action duties, who worked on that TV series!) with macho posturing and naff jokes , John McTiernans movie really kicks into gear for the splendidly staged finale when Arnie finally goes mano a mano with effects supremo Stan Winstons wonderful creature! All together now "...GET TO DA CHOPPA!"
When I added it to my watchlist I saw the Belgian angle and I already wondered why I never heard of it.
@GoldenGun
Let me explain. We Belgians are notoriously bad at celebrating our own achievements. Our country hosts one of the largest petrochemical hubs in the world. At IMEC in Leuven, 85% of the world’s chip technology is developed. Our offshore wind expertise is internationally acclaimed. We stand at the forefront of cancer research and therapy. And we’ve even exported a few brilliant horror films to international audiences.
Yet most Belgians are unaware of all this. Instead, we obsess over our political dysfunction, our painful colonial past, and our mediocre showings at Eurovision. We are, if nothing else, a profoundly masochistic people.
Except when it comes to our beers and food. Then we truly are a proud lot.
Well I can't disagree with you on any of these points :)
Two of my favourites there mate!
The special effects in The Invisible Man are absolutely astonishing for the time. A brilliant film with lashings of Whale's black humour.
Carrie is De Palma's best film IMO. As well as the best King adaptation. I remember watching it on TV with my younger brother, us both leaping off the settee at the end jump scare!
Good taste @Fire_and_Ice_Returns
A truly extraordinary experience whenever i watch it.
I always rewatch it around Christmas, so it's coming up...
Nice to see some appreciation for this amazing film @DarthDimi
I saw a screening on British TV many years ago and never forgot it. It really is a mesmerizing experience.
Delphine Seyrig is absolutely beguiling in it.
Unfortunately i only have the DVD. Would love a bluray copy.
So brought a group of my service users to see it this afternoon! I watched the original yesterday to get me in the mood but I probably should of watched 'Prey', but even that, ( which I liked!) is nothing like this! Not going into the plot, but its just one big cgi fest, and I became quite bored with it after a while. Director Dan Trachtenberg should have stuck to the stripped down style of 'Prey'! This film just didn't do anything for me, and I just found it all very tiresome! My group of lads who I brought, half loved it, half gave it a big "meh!"
Not meant as a profanity, I just want to say: dayum! Zach Cregger’s Barbarian impressed the hell out of me a few years ago, so there was no way I was going to skip Weapons. But I couldn’t have prepared myself for this. What an amazing film!
It shifts effortlessly from mystery to horror to comedy, then back to horror again. Cleverly written, the film patiently unspools its secrets from multiple points of view, making me increasingly uncomfortable, burning with tension and visceral shock. The fantastic cast -- Julia Garner, Benedict Wong, Josh Brolin, Alden Ehrenreich, Austin Abrams, Toby Huss, and Amy Madigan, with additional roles for Sara Paxton and Justin Long -- is crucial in bringing this strange experience to life.
Without giving away spoilers, I can safely say that Weapons takes a fresh approach to a story that may not be entirely original, yet teems with surprise, shock, and just the right amount of laughter to ease the film’s intensity before it overwhelms. Balanced to perfection, Weapons already feels destined to become a future classic of the horror genre.
I must repeat: dayum!
Love Denzel Washington, and even more so as Robert McCall!
Directed by Russell Mulcahy
My second viewing of this charming, flashy, and another sword-and-sorcery exercise in style over substance. Perhaps the plot makes little sense, but I quite enjoy it for not even explaining its own mythology properly. The time shifts are visually super pleasing. The performances are amusing, and the swordplay is as 80's as it can get. Love the Queen songs too, of course.
Some Bond alumni: Sir Sean, music by LTK's Michael Kamen, production design by TND's Allan Cameron and the sword master was DAD's Bob Anderson (who also did films such as LOTR, The Mask of Zorro, Barry Lyndon and POTC, as well as being an uncredited stuntman on FRWL and CR67).
Love this one. Haven't seen the sequels or the tv shows. I hear they aren't great though, should I bother?
